If I understand correctly, you want the OS and the programs on the SSD
and your data on the slower drive? If that is the case these articles
may help...

Win7 is different from XP.
And I blew up the system a couple of times using User Account moving techniques
intended for Vista with a notation that 'Win7 is the same thing as Vista'.
What ended up working for me on the User account thing was editing the registry
to move the default profiles to D:, then rebooting and logging in as a new user,
then deleting the old user (whose profile directories were on C:) and changing
the new user's name to that of the old user.
I also moved the default paths for programs and programdata.
As for the drive letters (my original question), I just left the system drive's
name as C:.
Most installers seem to go to the default program files location, rather than
being programmed for C:]Program_Files by name.
Anyway, it looks like I achieved my goal. Windows boots up in about 1/2 the time
of an identical system with a fast hard drive, and the main program it's used
with loads in 15 seconds instead of 30. I'm not going to think about how many
years it would take him to save the number of hours I spent fighting with Win7
over where I wanted stuff saved.
