Conan is correct. As long as you dont exceed the capacity of the smaller drive, Norton Ghost and other disk imaging applications will go from Larger to Smaller drives.

problem solved
I ran WesternDigital DataLifeguard tools:
http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp
and it let me copy the hard drive over to the smaller one.
The program is a bit confusing because there is a disk copy wizard but thats not what you want it only copys the files and dosent set it up as a bootable device. There is another drive setup wizard that copies the drive and makes it bootable.
Neather of my drives are WesternDigital but it did the whole process fine.
I did however have to repair office 2003 and reinstall a game on the new hard drive for some reason because they would not run afterwards but apart from that i think its a brill tool to use. AND ITS FREE!!

Yup - I've been using this software since I got my first WD HDD a decade ago
