Problem with running programs( 2 harddrives, one with windows7 other with vista)

My computer has two harddrives, one is a small 15gig solid state, while the other is a 750gig normal.

I installed vista on the normal one, and installed programs. I just recently got my free windows 7 upgrade, and placed 7 on the small solid state. I would like to be able to run programs off the existing harddrive, while booting from the smaller one w/windows 7.

How the heck do I do this?

    If you just make the solid state one the default boot device you'll boot into Win7 and then you just need to reinstall any programs you want to the normal drive. Or if the program doesn't require an install just start it up from the normal drive.
