Trying to use clonzilla with identical disks on an XP machine. It tells me the partition created is outside the
Anyway I am new to all this so after many days of playing around I understand that my source disk is 320 and has a logical sector size of 512 but the target is 4012. This means that when clonezilla copies the partition table it sits outside the disk - Clonezilla manages to manipulate the numbers ok but assumes that the logical disk sizes are the same. I have tried the -k options, tried formatting the drive manually to 512 first but to no avail.

Any ideas?

    Could you please run the following commands:
    sudo parted -s /dev/sda print
    and
    sudo parted -s /dev/sdb print
    (/dev/sda is the source one, and /dev/sdb is the destination one)
    Then post the results of these 2 commands.
    Thanks.

    Steven.

        I also tried with 2 identical disks - both are 512/4096 capable but seem to want to 'default' to 4096/4096. However the source for some reason is formatted to 512/4096.Your program seems to reformat to 4096 when it creates its partition table. I guess the question would be 'how do i override that?'
        Cheers
