SSD malfunctioning after cloning

I have just purchased a brand new Samsung 850 EVO 250GB drive as my OS drive for my desktop computer, meaning to put my old SSD into my laptop. I have cloned the OS from the old to the new disk without any issues, and seeing as I did not have any Win8 install media handy I thought I would clone the OS from the laptop to the old SSD, using EaseUS. I made sure to delete files so that there would be room on the SSD. After cloning it seems that the SSD not only has the data of the old HDD, but also its "config", in windows the 120GB SSD shows up as the old 500GB HDD with all its partitions. When trying to do anything with the disk, Windows freezes, making me do a hard reset (reset button not working in this case). I have tried booting Gparted, but it would not boot for some reason, anyone know what I can do?
