Currently I have a 750GB harddisk split into four partitions.
-XP (47BG)
-Win7 (30GB)
-Games (168GB)
-Storage (453GB)

What is the best way to clone the XP and Win7 partitions to a new 80GB/120GB SSD?

Would it be possible to make a full backup of the two partitions with Acronis True Image and restore them on a new SSD which has partitions of different sizes?
 
You could do that but youll most likely bugger up the boot file/partition.

I would give it ago with Acronis as its a wonderful peice of kit and if all else fails you have all the files on your old disc still.

It does sound better to reload Windows to get the most out of your SSD's. Does XP support TRIM, thought it didnt?
