I'd like to migrate to an SSD. Win7 x64 now on 1TB drive, but only 180GB used.
I'm testing this by migrating the system to a 320GB SATA Laptop drive, just to debug process while I'm waiting on my SSD which should arrive on Monday. Shiny new Samsung 250GB 840 is on the way.

It's not going that well.
What is the problem?
And why, after all this time, has no one fixed the Open Source Clonezilla to make this process fool proof?? Poor clonezilla still won't copy a partition to a smaller one even tho the data will fit. At least Casper would do that.
Thanks,
ww

- Clone drive using Casper 6.0. But it would not boot.
- Used Bootsect.exe from Win7 install disk to fix boot partition. Looks like a success, but won't boot.
- Drive is seen in BIOS.
- After over an hour of copying the disk, I'd rather not start over. Just want to fix the boot record or whatever without reformatting the drive and starting over.
