What is the minimum size for booting from ssd

[norman590]

Hello,
i'm having trouble with my ssd/motherboard. Recently, after I changed cases, from Armor A90 to a Carbide 400r, i discovered that my motherboard couldn't even overclock a tiney wincey bit my system crashes and everything is set to stock speeds. Also i couldn't boot from my ssd, it says stuff like disk read error, please insert disk. but this disk is recognised by windows (i installed windows 7 on a hdd before i did this). please help!

Specs:
Motherboard: GA-Z68x-UD3r-B3
GPU: 2 x Gigabyte Ultra Durable GTX 580's
SSD: Corsair Performance 3 Series 64 GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro 1200w (i'm not exactly sure if this one is workign properly :|)

Help would be appreciated guys

anywhere from 50-100gb is normally fine depending on what programs are installed (will be on the higher side with things like photoshop installed on the SSD)

generally windows needs about 10gb spare to operate correctly (and ~15% free space
to defrag)

you may need to look at repairing your install or best advice is to whipe it and start again fresh.
