drive cloning

So I built a gaming PC for this guy about 2 years ago. He had a 500GB Seagate drive. He recently brought it in for an unrelated problem with the sound card and when I booted it up I got the S.M.A.R.T error saying the drive was about to fail. So, he wanted a 10,000 rpm drive. So I got him a 150GB VelociRaptor.

Now, he is only using 111GB of his 500GB drive. I want to image that drive and store it on the raptor. HOWEVER! Everything I tried doesn't work. Acronis won't let me restore the image I wasted 3 hours building to the smaller drive.

Anyone have any ideas? Free would be good.

Here are some free drive cloning apps.(clonezilla work for me).

EaseUs Disk Copy (Copies disks or partitions)
XXClone
CloneZilla GParted LiveCD (Complete partitioning and drive imaging/restoration tools)
CloneZilla
Partition Saving
PCI CloneMaxx
Drive Image XML
HDClone
DriveClonerXP
Self-Image
copyr.dma (Copies disk with bad sectors for recovery)
