This is what I did. I downloaded and used Paragon Partition Manager to repartition the hard drive into two 1TB drives and then used Acronis to clone it.
There were a couple of strange things.
1. When I split them I was able to boot up from the new drive that had Win 7 and I then created a system image. When I booted from the Windows rescue disk and tried to restore the image it gave me the "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found" error. That was the same error message I got when trying to restore the original image from the 2TB drive to the new 1TB drive. This should have worked since the new drives were the same size. So, I had to try option 2.
2. Acronis True Image is the software that came with the Crucial SSD. I decided to clone the disk. But, not obvious at all is that the new drive must be installed on the computer and the old drive connected via a USB port for the cloning to work. You have to boot with the Acronis rescue disk to begin the cloning process which took about eight hours.
So, after almost three days I am done. In those three days I installed/reinstalled the new SSD and old drive three times, did three procedures that took almost eight hours each.
