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.

Hi Kurt,
Since I have had an iPad I've become very frustrated with the time it takes my PC to boot so I am going to fit an SSD to hold the OS. I am looking at a 250Gb drive but then had the thought that if I bought a 350Gb drive I could partition it and put the OS in one partition and the most used data in the second. I have been reassured by the comments so far that it is possible.
I did something similar a few years ago but only bought a 30gb drive to boot off. 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
