Cloning System Restore Partition (HP Laptop)
I'm trying to clone a laptop which has a 20GB system restore partition. When I clone to the new SSD it says that the partition is almost full and a notification pops up every 5 minutes. I tried to shrink the main windows partition and add 5GB to the system restore partition, but then the computer says the partition can't be found (His laptop blue screens and needs to be restored). Is there any way to expand the partition? :-)
Thanks

It's a HP Pavilion 15-p100dx, the 20gb partition is the OEM partition from HP. I'm using Acronis True Image 2014 from a USB flash drive. I'm cloning a 750GB bootable (it blue screens, but I'm trying to factory reset the SSD anyways) hard drive to a 256GB SSD.
I don't quite understand "Instead of cloning, it might be best to perform a full disk image back up and restore the partitions one at a time in the order they currently occupy on the source drive." I'm fairly new to Acronis so I have no idea how that would work.
