Peter - I agree. Although its been quite a few years since I had a personal computer of mine setup w/Dual Boot - it DOES makes sense to partition an SSD for dual boot. Makes a lot of sense.

I also bought a 500gb drive to store your docs, pics etc. The 30gb drive I partitioned into 10gb for a linux boot and 20gb for a windows boot. Works nicely and you can boot, login and be on the internet in about 30 seconds. Since I bought the kit drives are a lot cheaper so might be tempted to go for a larger boot drive if I was doing it now. Not sure what advantage it gives you partitioning if you are only having 1 OS on it. Peter This communication is intended for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
