I got my Sammy 830 256GB (it comes with a game, Norton Ghost v15, and a
usb-to-sata thingie).
I don't want to reinstall everything on my laptop. I want to clone the 320 GB
HDD and keep it has it is for a few weeks (to ensure the SSD won't
crash)...then I will use it as a backup for the SSD.
Can you clone a HDD with a 284GB partition to an SSD with a much smaller
partition? I thought the new partition had to be the same size or larger....
