I am replacing my mobo, os (win7 pro 64bit), adding ram and a ssd. I want to put all of the programs on the ssd with the os.

How do I move all of Outlook with emails and the folders to the new ssd? I am hoping that all of the emails and folders and contacts will remain intact.

I have the hardware installed but not I am trying to figuire out how to access the data on her old HD. THe old HD is 219 gb and the new SSD is 128 and will not allow me to clone the info on to the new ssd because of space limitations.

How do I access that data with the new SSD?

To be honest I don't really know what the best way to go about this is.

I tried to use the software that came with the ssd and it didn't let me choose less things to move over to the new ssd from the old hd. It let me deselect music and videos but it wasn't enough. I think it was a cloning software...
