Hard drive cloning issues

So I'm trying to clone this drive to a 64GB ssd which has almost 60GB of usable space, the trouble is that the recovery partition is 20GB. Is there any way I can get rid of it and only clone the other partitions?

Go to control panel and then administrative tools then computer management.

Select disk management from the left. Find the drive in question and locate the recovery partition.

 

Then right click the recovery partition and select delete and it will be gone.

Clone the partitions individually rather than clone the whole drive.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.
