Hello I have never used clonezilla before. My usage scenario goes as follows:
I would like to upgrade my HD (from 500GB to 2 TB) So, I'd plug the second drive to the same physical system, partition it using gparted, at first with a one-to-one correspondence between source and target *but* with bigger-sized target partitions. The system has a few linuces and winXP. I don't have any other system with a big enough drive to store a temporary image, so the cloning/copying should simply take place from HD to HD. Does this sound like a supported usage? In particular, does the cloned XP have a chance of working (wrt access rights and NTFS attributes...) I should be able to restore MBR and boot loader if needed, as well as fix the (main) grub bootloader. Thanks for any advice. Some remarks: [1] The new disk would likely be a western digital green caviar, and these apparently use 4kb blocks. It seems I should pay attention to the way partitions are aligned, as per <http://www.linuxconfig.org/linux-wd-ears-advanced-format> Does anyone have experience and suggestions with this issue?
