Never mind, I just read ieatbabies' post. The question about the 100mb boot partition and if I can just copy that too still stands though.

Okay, I just tried to resize my C partition with gparted and it shat itself, said the partition table is corrupt or some such, windows won't boot, and a repair disk can't fix it. Luckily I made a backup image before I did this but how am I supposed to resize it without all hell breaking loose? Should I have defragged it first or something? Just use the windows partition manager next time?

Chronos13 posted:First, I wanna say thanks for the OP. It was immensely helpful in picking an SSD. I'm pretty sure the difference in data is because the capacity on the box is measured with regular decimal metric prefixes, where 1GB equals 1000MB, and on your computer it's measured in binary prefixes, wehre 1GB is 1024MB. So you aren't losing any capacity. Correct me if that's wrong though.

Zhentar posted:Well, there are 128 binary gigabytes of flash memory in the drive. The other 9GiB is spare area used for wear leveling, to extend the lifespan of the drive. That said, I'm betting it's not a coincidence that the spare area set aside happens to be pretty much exactly the same as the difference between binary and decimal gigabytes. Hrm, the internet seems to say that what I thought was correct, but NAND manufacturers stick in some extra anyways to use for wear leveling. Weird.
