Greetings,

My system has a SSD 64 Gig drive.

This is what I am going to do, anyone see any problems with it?

On the SSD I have installed XP and Windows 7. Almost ready for VistaBootPro, it does work with Win 7, tested it with a VM.

Next I have three gig of open space so I want to put ERD Commander on a small 1 Gig partition and then I won't be looking for the cd when I blow up one of my installs.

So anyone see any potential problmes with this idea?

well...64GB is a bit small. but i guess if you only use it for the OS's, then there is more than enough space. it should work in theory.

64GB is very small for several OS's.

I use 500GB for XP PRO x86, XP PRO x64, Vista Ult. x64 and Win 7 x64.

But hey, if you're happy with the size, should be fine.
