I cloned my hard drive to my new ssd, but the storage on my ssd went from a total of 120 gb to just 90 gb. I see a system reserved partition on my drive taking up to 30 gb. But when I was dumb so I tried to fix it myself and deleted the partition and formatted my ssd. Now I see that my ssd has the 90 gb, and I dont see the system reserved partition anymore. I'm using Windows 7. How do I get my ssd back to its original capacity?

If you can boot the system from a different source, and remove all partitions from the SSD, then boot from the Windows DVD and install - that should fix the problem. If you have a "recover disk" that you are booting from (i.e. from your computer manufacturer), often they will create a recovery partition of 20-50GB....you will need to actually boot from a Windows disk then....not the recovery disk.
