Will Ghost migrate XP Hdd drive to SSD?

I am contemplating buying an SSD and copy of Ghost to migrate my 512gb Hdd laptop running XP to a 512gb SSD.

I have seen a few dialogs on this forum with regard to other Windows versions. It seems there can be multiple problems, including booting issues, sector sizes and so on.

Is this within Ghost capabilities? 

Is there a step by step tutorial anywhere?

Do I need to make the SSD partitions reseble the Hdd partitions, as in total size, bloct/sector etc?

I have only a general undertsanding of how Hdd's storage is organized,

and no idea how SSD's organization may differ.

Otherwise, proficient computer user/programmer.

A 512 gb SSD is stretching my budget, I cannot afford to throw it away if it doesn't work.... :-)

Thanks for any pointers.
