Please don't give up on me! I'm sure there's a solution, if only someone can make the instructions clear enough for me…-

I'm stuck right now, because I can't seem to figure out the great information that I've received. Maybe because I'm only getting four to five hours of sleep for the last few weeks?

There seem to be some gaps in the suggestions I received and what has been left out may seem obvious to the poster, but my experience doesn't give me the information that I need to fill in those gaps. In this case, it hasn't been intuitive for me.

Please describe the steps from the start, in clear easy well defined terms, so that I can follow them, step by step.

Once again, I want to have everything, my applications documents and other basic files accessible as if they are located on the SSD, even if they are not. I have two 1TB bootable drives in my 2005 Mac Pro.

One, I have previously booted from and the other has been my backup drive.

Now, I would like to use my new 256 GB SSD as my main drive. How I accomplish having everything work from the SSD is my dilemma.

There seem to be a number of strategies to make this work, but so far, I haven't been able to accomplish what I need.

I'm still looking for the solution.

Thanks for your input.
