    The next time you save something, go to your "Computer" folder and then select the drive where you want your file to be saved in.

    If you install something, it will usually ask where you want the program to be installed in. Simply click the browse button and navigate to where you want the program installed.

    Example:

    What I have found to be the best for me is to repartition the 1st drive into 1 partition for the OS and program installations. Then repartition the 2nd drive into 1 partition and label it "Data" and put all your documents, pictures, music, games, etc. on it. If you ever need to re-install your OS you will still have all your data files intact on the 2nd drive

    I completely agree with the above post. It is best not to keep your data in the same place with your applications.

    Yes, it's best if you kept all your personal files, games, documents etc in any of the partitions except on your C drive.
