    Ive recently bought the G75VW-BBK5 (Republic of Gamers). It comes with a 1TB 5400 RPM hdd. Obviously my load times are terrible, so i bought a Hybrid HDD. The laptop has 2 HDD slots, only one is in use. I would like to install the new Hybrid Drive and make it my primary while using the 1tb hdd as extra storage space. I'd like to have my OS on the hybrid alongside my games. How would i do this, step by step. Do I have options? I did by a Sata to USB transfer cable just in case. I also have Norton ghost.



    Im new to all this so plz help. im pretty tech and computer savvy but have never done this. If i can get some options and advice PLZ, much appreciated.
