    i just got myself a new 120GB SSD. what i'm dong is replacing the optical drive with my current 500GB HDD and using this for files while running windows and programs from the SSD.. my question is is there an easy way to just transfer the system files, programs and drivers ect.. without my other files... i only have 10GB left on my HDD and backing up will be difficult.

    would i just be better just doing a fresh install and go to the bother of installing my programs ect again?
