HotHardware.Com posted a guide about upgrading your notebook hard drive to SSD:

In reality, the software side of a notebook SSD upgrade is perhaps the most complex part of the process. Mechanically, swapping out drives is pretty straight-forward. If you take the path of actually cloning your existing hard drive's partition(s) over to the new SSD, you need to ensure you set the cloning software application, in our case it was Clonezilla, to resize the new partition on the target drive to size of the SSD. Norton Ghost from Symantec has this setting selected by default but in the screen shots above, you can see how to set it up with Clonezilla. Also, if your new SSD is actually smaller than the old hard drive, Clonezilla won't let you map the partition over, even if the data area is smaller. In this case, Norton Ghost works a bit better and is in general a bit more elegant to work with.
