How to split XP to a SSD and regular spinning storage

Looking for instructions on how to install XP on a SSD drive so that pretty much only the core stuff (DLLs system exes) are on the SSD drive. Most drivers are loaded once into memory essentially at boot time. I have 4 gig so the kernel is locked in core anyway due to a registry setting.

I already have nLite to limit what is installed. (This is experimental system)

Even when loading IDEs packages to my normal SATA drives seems to cause MSI cache stuff to be loaded onto the SSD drive reducing its 16gig. I have already moved my “Documents & Setting” to another drive. Windows seems to put dead stuff in

\SSD\WINDOWS\Installer or

\SSD\WINDWS\Downloaded Installations\

Thanks
