Shrinking partition for SSD

I had been using a 64 GB SSD on my HTPC running Windows Home Premium x64. I then used Clonezilla to clone it to a 128 GB SSD and then used Disk Management to extend the partition to the rest of the drive. I've now realized that the HTPC doesn't really need a 128 GB SSD (the 64 GB SSD was only a little over half full) and I'd like to clone the 128 GB SSD back to the 64 GB SSD. Clonezilla doesn't allow cloning from a larger partiton to a smaller one. Anyone know how to how to do this?
 
try the ultimate boot cd, it has a small linux environment that you can use to resize partitions fairly effortlessly. and it is all GUI driven.....
 
gparted (it's what is in that linux environment)

Depending on what you did with the drive, windows might be able to reduce the partition, did you try that ?
 
Did you try to shrink the volume from the built in disk manager? Doesn't always work, may fail more often than not, but is still worth a try.
