Moving User Profiles:
During Windows 7 install, you will be prompted to enter your user name. At this point, DO NOT ENTER anything yet. Bring up a command prompt (Shift – F10).

 

In the command prompt, copy the user directory from your OS HDD (C: I assume) to your storage drive (D: I assume). Then delete the original directory.

 

robocopy "C:\Users" "D:\Users" /E /COPYALL /XJ
rmdir "C:\users" /S /Q

 

Then make a symbolic link.

mklink /J "C:\Users" "D:\Users"
