3 large partitions on SSD

[TheTounahos]

Hi, I just cloned Windows 7 Pro 64 bit from a new computer, no apps or programs installed and only the basic programs that came with the computer. Clone was from a 320 GB HDD to a 240 GB SSD. Everything worked fine, but when I look in Disk Management, there is a 57 GB Recovery Partition, a 53 GB System partition and only a 112 GB Boot partition. I thought the System partition was only supposed to be around 100 MB? Any help would be appreciated!

hmm that does sound quite odd, maybe you should try a windows 7 repair do you have a windows 7 disk? try that and see what happens because that certainly doesn't sound right! if not make a bootable usb with win 7 on

Oli, I don't have a disk, Windows 7 came pre-installed on my machine. I was hoping to be able to shrink the partitions somehow. I actually found another thread that had a similar problem to mine:
