All the drive cloning software I have seen only creates a primary partition the size of the source drive. Since your SSD is twice the size of the original HD the result is that on your new SSD you will have a primary partition of 128gb and approximately 128gb of unallocated free space. In that remaining free space you can do a couple of things. You can create a second partition using Windows Disk Manager. The primary partition will be designated C: and a partition in remaining free space will likely be D: or E: depending on whether you have a CD Rom drive installed in the computer. A second option for using the SSD free space is that there are Partition Manager programs on the market that may allow you to extend the primary partition into the free space depending on where the primary partition was physically created on the SSD.

Thanks Steve! I will try using Windows Disk Manager and create another partition in the free space.
