Hi

I'm trying to dual-boot windows and linux on my Kingston 120 GB SSD. The SSD has 50 GB of free space and i want to shrink it so that i can use 40 GB for the linux partition. The problem is that the SSDs files are spread over the entire SSD so i can only shrink about 0.5 GB. Should i try to defrag the SSD althow i know it is bad for it. Or should i do a fresh install of windows wich i think should solve the problem. What do you guys think?

Alternativly i'm thinking about buying a second indentical ssd so that i dont have to cope with this problem... Is it worth it?
