Basically like the title says. I have one drive with three partitions totaling 2tb. The first two partitions only take up around 80gb so I'd like to clone them to a new 110gb ssd. I don't see how to clone more than one partition though. It seems that each one wants to take over the destination drive as the new single partition. Am I just missing something or is this not possible?

Thanks!

I think I get it now! I was assuming that it was writing the data to the disk raw. Looking at it closer I realize that it needs the partition to be created before data will be copied to it. I've created the partition layout that I want now and it seems to be working the way I want now. Sorry for the n00b question!

Yes, in this case you have to deal that partition by partition. Manually deal with the partition table on the destination disk, cloning or restoring partitions one by one.
