Cloning HDD to SSD - Dell XPS 8300

I've read the thread help cloning HDD to SSD with NORTON GHOST 15 with interest. I have a similar setup:

 

Dell XPS 8300 with a 1 TB HDD. I've installed a Samsung 830 SSD and it shows up in BIOS, Disk Management and Norton Ghost.

 

Here's what I've done so far:

 

Using Ghost, I copied the HDD Recovery partition to SSD - Copy successful. I then tried to copy the OS (C:) partiion but had errors (see below). Here's what Disk Management says:

 

HDD (Disk 0)

39 MB Healthy (OEM Partition)

Recovery 13.25 GB NTFS Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition) - 5.6 GB Free

OS (C:) 918.22 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition) - 821 GB Free

 

SSD (Disk 1)

Recovery 13.25 GB NTFS Healthy (Actrive Primary Partition) - 5.6 GB Free

OS 225 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition) - 157 GB Free

 

I notice that the copied Recovery partition on SSD does not say System, nor does the OS partition have the other descriptors.

 

Questions:

 

  • What's my next step?
  • I'm downloading BootIt BM to install. Looks like I may have to get into that. I've created the BIBM Boot Disk. Do I install to its own partition on HDD when I boot from that CD?

Here are the errors from the copy of OS on HDD to OS on SSD:

    Error EC8F17B3: Cannot complete copying of OS (C:\) drive.
    Error EC8F0409: Cannot copy source drive to destination location.
    Error EBAB03EE: Operating System API 10004 failed.
    Error EBAB03F1: The parameter is incorrect. (UMI:V-281-3215-6067)

 

Looking forward to some help!
