If you read the documentation for g4u, you cannot copy from a large disk to a smaller-sized target disk and expect it to work. E.g. a 40 Gb source to a 20 Gb target for copydisk.
You can copy from a small source disk to a larger one and I've done that a few times. It works just fine. I can then resize the partitions with gparted. I have not yet tried copying from a source to the target where both disks are the same size. It helps a lot to read the documentation as your first troubleshooting step. Bob B.
