I know, for some reason, it's ill advised to clone a PATA/SATA drive and restore it to a SSD drive. I have a slightly different problem. My Intel SSD is rapidly filling up in space (all I allow on it is the OS and some program files but 40GB is not much to work with). Anyway, I see myself upgrading to a 60 or 80GB SSD in the future.
What's the best way to do this to avoid a system reinstall? I don't understand all this talk about alignment issues and what have you. I also read that if imaged a 40GB SSD (for example) and restored on a 80GB, you would have a 40GB partition and 40GB unassigned. Is that true? I'd prefer just one partition with 40GB space taken up and 40GB free.
Any help would be appreciated.
