A drive rated at "240 GB" will report at around 228 GB or a bit less in disk manager (240 GB / 1.024 / 1.024).
Sounds like you need to save some stuff off your old HD to another media, as it won't all fit on the new SSD has less capacity than what's on your old HD.

I don't understand--I had 180GB unused space on the old drive. Only about 50GB was being used.
