Hello, I have a question about changing from a standard hard drive to a new SSD (Samsung 830, 256G). I plan on doing a clean install of Windows 8 on the SSD and I want to keep my current hard drive (Vista / WD Black 640G) as my storage drive. Does the drive name letter I use for the new SSD Boot Drive matter?
Here is what I 'think' I need to do:
1. Remove the old Hard Drive
2. Install new SSD and load windows 8. Call this the (S:). Update Boot Order to boot from this drive.
3. Plug the old hard drive back in as (C:)
What kind of issues will I run into if I install Win8 on the SSD then try and access my data on the old hard drive? Is there anything special I have to do so that I can access the data on the old drive? I really don't want to reformat the old drive, just leave it as is since it has everything saved on it already.
Thanks
