I ended up successfully using another program called Clonezilla.

However, it had the same problem in that it did not show the Ubuntu partition.

I had previously used a program called DriveImage XML to migrate data from an old to a new hard drive with good success. It only recognized the Windows 7 partitions. In my case, I had a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 and Ubuntu but Samsung Data Migration did not recognize the Ubuntu partition. It has very straightforward steps, enabling you to size the partitions on the new drive based on the existing partitions on the old drive and of course copy the data. The particular SSD I bought (Samsung Evo 840) came with a specific application aptly called “Samsung Data Migration” for transferring all of the data. When I upgraded my standard “spinning disk” hard drive to an SSD, I didn’t want to have to re-install the operating systems and all of the applications.
