I am sorry.
I installed windows 7 from an iso I downloaded of the internet.
the old windows 7 was factory from asus.
so what you are trying to say is, the old OS could have been GPT while the other could have be MBR? How do I determine this?
I am using clonezilla to clone and back up my windows 7 via ssh to my ubuntu server 14.04 machine. I can back up all my other computers except that asus; so I am guessing it has something to do with GPT / MBR on my laptop
question is, what do I do?
clonezilla is telling me to sudo sgdisk -z /dev/sdx to clean the GPT partition table while keeping the MBR partition.
just wondering I just do this in clonezilla or should I just do something with the partition in windows? mr does this have to do with my linux server that I am sending the back up to?
thank youf or the reply though!
