I have picked up a Samsung 256Gb 840 Pro SSD, and was wanting to migrate my OS and programs from my 1Tb Western Digital Blue HDD to the new SSD and leave my games, videos, pictures, documents on the HDD. However the Samsung Data Migration Tool doesn't allow me to just select folders that I want to exclude from the migration; it only allows me to select media files (image, video, and audio files) to exclude. I was wondering if the was a good, free, more in depth alternative to the Samsung Data Migration Tool.

Thanks

Hey there, Help Plz!

I'd suggest to try with other cloning software utilities then. I believe Acronis True Image the WD edition might do the job.
You can simply easily select what gets cloned and what you wish to exclude.
Here's a link to the software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=GUhfI2
And here's a tutorial with instructions on how to manually clone a disk with the Acronis True Image WD edition software:
