Installing SSD for boot drive, original HDD for data.

Before you go wiping your drive, when you first turn it on check for an option to select the boot device. For my HP laptop it's F9 but on my DELL desktop I believe it's F12.

You set the boot order in the BIOS correct?

Also try pressing F8 right before the BIOS finishes and see if you can choose your OS that way.

Just tried that to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion though. I think what I'm going to have to do is move all my wanted programs, docs, pictures, and movies over to another partition within the HDD then delete the original partition, thus deleting the OS from the HDD. Right now my computer seems to be running windows twice. I get one loading screen that quickly flashes to another identical loading screen(I'm assuming the second is the HDD).
