Can't clone HDD to SSD
I bought a new Kingston Hyperx SSD 120GB and was looking forward to installing it, but I had some problems. It's installed inside of my computer, but when I clone my HDD to my SSD I get an error saying that there's not enough memory on my SDD and that there are some partition errors on my drive. So I did a Check Disk Utility run and that took about 2 hours before it finished and I cleared up some space on my hard drive. I still get the same exact error. My hard drives' capacity is 224GB and I am only using 87.1GB's of space so I don't see how it would be too much for the SSD to hold. Any help? Thanks. =)

You shouldn't be Clone-ing; that's trying to make a 1:1 copy. Instead you should make an image backup (with Verify) of your HDD and then Restore that image to your SSD.
I recently made an SSD of 60Gb from an HDD of 250Gb (actual usage was ~35Gb or so) in this manner and it worked spectacularly well, without my even having to fiddle with any partition settings/changes. It just worked.
