This is not necessarily true. One may clone one or more partitions and not 
others. I have done this.

All of this is easily done in Reflect. I cloned a 256GB HD onto a 240GB SSD 
with no difficulty.

I did run into trouble with the SSD clone. Sometimes it would boot fine. 
Others, it would get to the light blue welcome 
screen, then go black. I found CTRL-ALT-DEL would open up a live control 
window; start Task Manager, use it to kill 
Explorer (not IE or WE, just Explorer - stupid naming), to start Explorer again 
and all was fine.

I eventually discovered that installing a new (additional?) Intel driver for 
HD/SSD fixed it all. As is so often the 
case, the info was on the MS site, but obscure.
