Cloning XPS M1530 HDD to new OCZ SSD - How to?

I want to purchase a new 250GB SSD from OCZ and replace in my XPS M1530.

I am using Acronis True Image to backup my C:\ partition and have successfully

reinstalled on the HDD when I had an issue - so I trust this S/W.

 

If I want to clone the HDD to the new SSD including the MBR + 3 existing paritions,

what else do I need?  Can I do a fresh install and use disk management to get

the partitions right on the new drive and then restore C:\ from HDD to SSD?

The sector sizes differ and the parition size will be larger (more free space)

on the SSD since it is bigger.

 

So I am a little unclear on how to get it going?  Or do I need more sophsticated S/W

like Easy Migrate that will clone the MBR and other partitions as well?
