I got it almost all setup and running. Core i5 Ivy + H77 chipset. Just waiting for the video card to arrive.

I have a 120 gb ssd drive. It has windows installled on it already.

I want to partition it into two 60gb drives. Existing windows drive will be on 60gb. Other 60gb partition will be merged with 2 tb hard drive into a hybrid drive.

How to do this?

one more thing: I installed windows using a differnet motherboard.

It appears now that one of the usb ports does not work. I suspect thsi is because the old MB didn't have as many USb ports as this machine.

maybe...

eh? I can''t find any evidence of a motherboard change in the device manager.

You cannot do this with Intel's software. To accomplish this, you must install windows on your 2TB drive, set up the software and turn on SRT (and set it to use 60GB). Then, you can install windows on to the remaining space on that SSD, and delete the installation on the 2TB drive.
