So say you have 3 partitions, re-create them on the target disk and then copy each of them from HDD to SDD. Or, go one step further and create both partitions and filesystems on the SSD, mount HDD and SSD filesystems and then cp -a the contents from HDD filesystems to SSD. Some months ago I migrated the two disks in my main Jessie machine from HDDs to SSDs, and I used the last option above. The consensus on this list at the time was that that was the best way to do it. It's certainly the most tolerant of subtle differences between source and target disk. It does require that grub be re-installed on the target disk, but with everything copied over the grub.cfg will be in place so the install is easy. There was some discussion on this list of how I went about it at the time, you can see that in the archives. Hope that helps Mark
