I am working with a Dell Pentium 4, windows xp that has about 40 GB of data. I need to clone this disk so that the same programs, software, settings, etc.. will be usable on a new dell that I purchased with a larger hard drive. I am completely new to clonezilla, and data backup, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I was told by clonezilla that all partitions were "successfully cloned" from the source, however I got a blue screen and an error code when I loaded the image on to the target machine.
I checked and it seems like it might be an error with drivers??
I used a Western Digital USB Hard Drive to store the image, and then to mount it onto the target. This harddrive uses FAT storage.. is this a problem? The program told me that the partitions were copied successfully...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yeah you really messed up using a FAT formatted disk. FAT cant handle files bigger than 4GB (if it was FAT32, FAT16 can only handle 2GB, i think), most likely thats the issue.

Maybe something went wrong... Did you see any error messages in red ?
Or maybe you can boot clonezilla live, enter command line prompt, then
1. sudo -i
2. run "prep-ocsroot" to mount the image home
3. Run command:
find ./home/partimag -print
Then post the results of 3.
BTW, are you sure the target machine is the all the same with the source machine ? For MS windows, if the motherboard is different, you might encounter this problem. Maybe you can try to install "sysprep" from MS windows before you save the image. It will allow you to rescan the hardware.

I will try again using an NFTS portable drive and see if that fixes the problem...
