In the end I decided to install Fedora again.

Sidenote: I don't know if it's related to my computer, but it seemed like it was not possible to make it boot from the ssd - maybe because it is in /dev/sdb instead of being in the /dev/sda? I have no idea.

In the end the partition table that worked for me is sda1 /boot (500M) sda2 /home (297,6G) sdb1 /swap (5,8G) sdb2 / (50G) sdb3 /var (177 G) and in particular I was able of separate and see distinct now the SSD and the normal disk.

Thank you very much for helping!

1. It was done automatically by the installer
2. It is a Laptop and it has 6 GB of RAM
3. I don't have so much data, and probably I will reinstall the Operating system at this point, I was only looking for a better solution, without having to set up all the setting from scratch! :) Anyhow, if that is the case how should I place my partitions to use the ssd for booting and installing the operating system? (should I open another question for that?)

Thank you for the quick answer! I edited my post with the outputs

Hi, I recently bought a new computer and decided to install Fedora in it. In this computer I have two different hard drive, one 256 GB SSD and one 320 GB hard drive.

I installed Fedora 24, but I didn't modify the standard partition, and now I think it installed the operating system on the normal drive (if I go to gparted it shows that the folder /boot is in the 320 GB disk).

I was wondering if there is any way to move the operating system to the SSD without installing it from scratch and modifying the partitions during the installation.

Furthermore, from gparted it shows that there is a /boot mountpoint in one of the two disks and that there is a fedora mountpoint on the other two, and it seems like it is considering the two parts as one. This could be fine, but I have the impression that this way the system will not distinguish the two disks when accessing the files, is it true?

Thanks in advance for any help!
