I may wind up trying to shrink the partition but I think that the small
recovery partition at the end of my drive will cause problem. From what
I read it seems that some of the clone tools (and also Windows Backup)
don't look at just the active partition space but rather the space from
the start of the disk to the end of the last active partition. So
unallocated space is counted unless it is at the end of the drive, and
my drive has a small recovery partition there. At least that is in the
documentation regarding restoring windows system images and I believe
for Clonezilla as well - unallocated space has to be at the end of the
drive to be ignored. The windows disk management tool can shrink
partitions but (AFAIK) cannot move them. I think gparted might be able
to move partitions but I'm not familiar with it, only running it a few
times to do Linux installs. It may be that some of the more
sophisticated partition management / clone tools can handle resizing the
partitions to fit a smaller drive.

Shrink the partition with Disk Management. It should clone over fine
as long as it is smaller than the target drive.
