Do not think cloning is a good idea since it is an exact

that install was only 3 months old anyway. running the latest 2.8 iso.
I am using a custom mint iso loaded with qt5 and linuxcnc 2.8 it is
awesome. and I can just boot anytime from my usb rather than upgrading
everytime from 2.7

Hi guys just getting back with a report of what I did to try clone my hard
drive.
I tried to clone it in linuxcnc first as described and failed. then tried
clone zilla, then tried a few other programs to decrease the size.
using G parted I reduced the size of the disc down to 40 gb and then
All the advice to use "dd" is OK. But it will spend hours copying many
gigabytes of blank areas of the disk.I bet there is only a few
megabytes of data you really need.
The simple way is to make a bootable disk or SD card (or better an SSD)
from scratch. Just the same way everyone

So I definitely need to shrink the iso. But the actual data on the old

OK, step one is use fdisk to see the partition arrangement
on the old drive.

Look up R-Drive image. It works with Windows and will clone just about
anything. Linux drives are no big deal.
Its not free, but its not expensive either.
I have two USB to IDE/Sata adapters that I used to clone drives. Or you
can use one adapter and save the image from one drive and

I use Macrium Reflect on Windows. It backups everything, windows, Linux, boot
partitions etc and can even restore to a smaller drive. Been using it for

Or download the System Rescue CD, boot it, launch the GUI (how to do that is on
the screen, just type startx then hit enter) and use the GUI version of GPartEd
(GNU Partition Editor). The drive you clone to still has to be exactly the same
size or larger because it can't simultaneously clone
For Linux the tool to use is dd in a terminal window. Google how to clone disk
with linux dd
On Windows there's the free AOMEI Partition Assistant, or their free Backupper.
I know Partition Assistant can copy non-Windows partitions, and under the
advanced settings it has a box to check for
I posed this same request to the group a couple weeks back. I was going to
wait until I was successful with two clones before I reported my results,
but here is what I tried and what worked. All my problems with cloning
arose from making a bootable HD. dd failed to make a bootable drive for me
I use Clonezilla for this.
Great-great program!

do you have access to a unix box? because there it's really easy to do.
Take the drive you want to "copy", connect it to a inix box and make
sure it is not mounted.
Look up whatthe device isin, /dev. with most drive it should be
something like /dev/sdb or sdc etc. you can see it when
