    I'm assuming Disk0 is the SSD and Disk1 is the HD.

    When cloning/imaging the HD to the SSD, you would only choose the 150MB and 919GB partitions.

    No, you can select individual partitions.

    On the Disk/Partition Backup screen, you can check the box next to each partition. You need to hover over the partition for the checkbox to appear.

    When I click Disk/Partition Clone, I still see a radio button when I hover over the partition. I don't have a setup with multiple drives where I can test it, though.

    If cloning forces you to copy all partitions, why don't you make an image backup to an external USB HD and then restore it to the SSD? That way, you'd also have a backup in case you need to restore it later.

    Hah. I know the feeling.

    If the cloning doesn't work, try my other suggestion about creating a backup and then restoring. That's how I do all my imaging nowadays. Cloning is too slow, especially when you have a lot of drives to image/deploy.

    Yes, you can do a restore to a formatted SSD. You don't need a formatted drive anyway; it's capable of restoring to a blank drive.

    By using the WIN 7 Recovery disk?
    No. You would need to create a To Do Backup boot disc or USB flash drive:

    Ok. I'm guessing you mean System Backup from the User Guide. That would work.

    If you just installed windows 7, yes it is set for auto download and yes it can take a long time for the updates to be found.

    Reboot and do NOT be surprised if something does not get installed.
