I'm trying to use Macrium Reflect Free to clone a disk from a 75 GB SSD to 225 GB SSD. The source has three partitions, and I want to clone them all, but I want the first and third to be the same size, and the middle one to be expanded to fill the remaining space on the drive.
In this screen capture, I have (1) added the first and second partition and (2) expanded the second partition, leaving 50 GB of free space.
When I click "Copy selected partitions", it should add the third partition (which is only 9.76 GB) into the remaining 50 GB of space, but I get this:
How can there be insufficient space?
I should mention that this is what I get if I try to copy the first and third partitions first:
It seems to be forcing the partitions to be placed in the same location as they were on the source, but why?
Primary question: How can I accomplish my goal of cloning these three partitions, with the middle one expanded to fill the free space on the disk?

I would image the drive as it is to the new SSD. Then, use a partitioning tool, like EASEUS Free Partition Master to resize and move the partitions – it should do it for you very nicely.
