[QUOTE="iWheeler, post: 1586573, member: 212338"] I've looked around but can't really find a definitive/best answer. i've recently replaced my optical drive in my macbook pro for an SSD, what i'd like to do is have only the system files/applications on my SSD and my Logic pro project folder. my main drive currently has 700GB on it but i'm moving about 200GB onto an external drive (1TB) and my SSD is 250GB (nothing on it). What is the best way to get the system files onto the SSD but keep the documents, downloads, desktop, movies, pictures and music folders on the normal HDD? i'd like to do a clean install but i don't think i have the original install files for a bunch of things i use, unless there's a way to copy them off the backup without having to re install?
