Re: [Clonezilla-live] Unable to restore partition image in VirtualBox
Clonezilla does not support the conversion for MBR to GPT. Virtualbox can handle uEFI, so please check its manual.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Unable to restore partition image in VirtualBox
Ok so this was not a Clonezilla issue but a Windows issue. Here is how I solved it. I first installed Windows 10 in VBox, then I booted into VBox with Clonezilla and my image, then I overwrote only the Windows or C Drive, and when I booted back it, I had all my files. Hope this helps. On Wed, Mar 25, 2020 at 10:21 PM Sreyan Chakravarty wrote: > Hi, > > I have taken the image of my C Drive Partition in Windows.

[Clonezilla-live] Unable to restore partition image in VirtualBox
Hi, I have taken the image of my C Drive Partition in Windows. Now I want to restore that partition in VirtualBox. I am unable to do so. The image backup completed successfully and the it seems that I am able to restore the image without any hiccups to VirtualBox. But after restoration VBox won't boot, it does nothing. Now it should be said that my disk image was taken from a UEFI+GPT system, but VirtualBox can't handle UEFI so I had to go with BIOS+MBR. I don't know if this is causing the problem. I have created a primary partition in VBox with Windows Repair and tried restoring the image to that partition, but it still fails to boot. What can I do to get this working ? Strangely after restoring the partition I can browse it through the Windows repair disc, all my files are there. Another strange thing is that my image(C Drive) is only 164 GB in size, I have created a 300 GB hard disk in VBox, but after the image restoration has finished DISKPART reports 0% free space on my virtual harddisk. How can this be ? Is there some sort of corruption ? I am using Clonezilla in beginner mode, should I use advanced mode if so then what are the options I should use for that ? I really don't know if this is a VBox issue, or I am using Clonezilla incorrectly or not. Please let me know if any other information is needed from my side. -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty ___ Clonezilla-live mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live
