I had been using a 64 GB SSD on my HTPC running Windows Home Premium x64. I then used Clonezilla to clone it to a 128 GB SSD and then used Disk Management to extend the partition to the rest of the drive. I've now realized that the HTPC doesn't really need a 128 GB SSD (the 64 GB SSD was only a little over half full) and I'd like to clone the 128 GB SSD back to the 64 GB SSD. Clonezilla doesn't allow cloning from a larger partiton to a smaller one. Anyone know how to how to do this?

You can shrink the size of the larger size SSD to be slightly smaller than the 64 GB SSD and use Clonezilla or GParted. Then re-size it after you're done..
