Windows Recovery (HP) to a smaller drive?

Hi guys,
Wonder if you can help.
I want to replace a 320Gb laptop drive with a smaller SSD drive.
Someone who had done this with my laptop made a comment.
They said that a Windows reinstallation using disks created from Windows recovery wasn't possible if the new drive was smaller. Is this true?
Am I better off ghosting the partition onto backup media and on to the new SSD? (I could use gparted I guess).
I only want to retain Windows 7 for a few apps I run; it can be a small installation.
Many Thanks
