Clonezilla error with basic clone

Zero187 · 06-26-2015, 07:36 PM

I'm getting the error:

"clonezilla failed to find this partition in this system /dev/sda2"

When trying to clone a 640GB (/dev/sdb) -> 1TB HDD (/dev/sda).

I'm following this guide step by step:
http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-..._to_disk_clone

And not sure where I'm going wrong. It says "failed to find" but I would think it would know it wouldn't be there and create sda2 on its own..
I've attached a screenshot of my error.

I'm a noob with clonezilla so any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you

Well, it somehow corrupted my Source disk so I can't even boot from that. Thankfully I've got everything important backed up, but it looks like I'll be doing a fresh install of Windows on my new drive..

And never using Clonezilla again.

Some of the older versions had an issue like that. Maybe a gpt deal. Also some bugs in mac hard drives.

I normally set it up to do sda to sdb but it shouldn't matter.

Bummer. Lucky you had a backup.
