Ok, so I have a 240gb ssd in my HTPC that is far too large for how much space I'm using, and I'd like to use this drive for another rig. What I'd like to do is use make an image of this install and just put it on a different ssd that only has 109 gigs of potential space.

Here's what's up - I was able to shrink the 240gb's windows install down to 126 gigs (wouldn't go further due to where windows had installed things). The installation itself is only taking up about 31 gigs of that 126.

Is there a way I can further reduce this number so I can just do a nice clean transfer from one drive to the other? I'd prefer not to have to reinstall and set everything back up for the HTPC. Any recommended software, tips, advice would be appreciated.
