Not that it matters now it works but just wondering was it a good idea to partition my 240GB SSD so that i could dual boot win 7 and 8 .. not that i needed to i have 3 other HDDS in the rig.. but anyway just some passive thoughts on whether it was a good idea or not?

Cheers

Sorry but I unselected this as the best answer because its completely wrong.

Partitioning has no harmful effects on an SSD at all and it does not partition like a traditional hard drive either. Wear-leveling will put files where it wants to to make use of the whole drive - so partitions are logical only. And from a logical point of view - its an easy way to separate OS's for a dual boot system or data files & programs...
