After a couple of attempts with Samsung Data Migration (including
resizing the partition), I installed Reflect Free Version from Gizmo.
It was 180GB of data, so it took a while to finish, but no errors and
the SSD booted fine. I know that I'm not getting the faster performance
because I cloned instead of a fresh install, but it's looking pretty
good to me now. I still have something that's taking a long time to
start after login, so I have to work on that. Applications start up
pretty snappy.

Windows 7 Home premium, Samsung 840 (not pro) 256GB
Using Samsung's Data Migration software, it clones 100%, then kicks out
an obscure error:
"Cloning Failed 400200 [061b48]"
Lots of crappy noise searching for this error. One note, Win7 doesn't
see the disk and Computer Management wants to initialize the disk.
Should it have been initialized before cloning. Source disk is 500GB
with only 180GB of data, partition is 500GB...would this be a problem?
Samsung does not work on weekends (sigh)
Thanks...Steve
