Transferring W7 to a Solid State Device
Here's the deal. I just bought a 64GB SSD. Here it is for those interested:
Newegg.com - OCZ Agility EX Series OCZSSD2-1AGTEX60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II SLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - Solid State Disks
Yes I know, way to much $$$$ but what the heck I'll use it as my boot/system drive.
So here's the thing. My current C: partition is about 350GB of which only about 15GB is actually used. The SSD is only about 60GB.
I use ShadowProtect Desktop as my disk image software and was planning to use that. The only thing is I don't know if it will let me restore from a larger to smaller drive even though in reality I'm using way less than 60GB.
So basically what's a good way to copy W7 over to the SSD in my case? Remember it will need to be bootable and all that.
