    I wish to install Microsoft Flight Simulator X on my Alienware 17 laptop which has a 250 GB SSD mSATA plus 1 TB HDD. I would like to install the FSX on the SSD but realise that the whole of my FSX won't fit on the 250 GB SSD. Presumably I have to install scenery on the HDD. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thank-you.
