Reply to Dual Hard Drive Setup Problems

Right now I have a 500GB HD in my macbook Im looking to remove the CD drive add in the SSD. Looking to boot from the SSD and have the other drive as storage. First thing Im doing is backing everything up and then ordering the parts

How would I go about setting it up to have my SSD as the boot drive and HD as storage?

Im also believeing of upgrading the 500GB HD to a 1TB should I do that after setting up the SDD as the boot drive or do the whole process at once?

Looking for the simplest way any advice, pictures, videos, links etc will be helpful thanks
