    My scenario -- using Clonezilla to drop sysprepped images of Win8.1 on to HDs. Periodically, we boot in to Windows, update the system, sysprep and shutdown. This done on a 1TB HD with two partitions totalling 100GB (with 900GB, give or take unpartitioned space on the HD). I make the image with Clonjezilla, then try to drop said image to a 500GB and Clonezilla refuses, because the source HD is 1TB and the destination is 500GB. Why would this make a difference since the HD only ever had 100GB in 2 partitions?

    Any suggestions?

    As mentioned here:
    http://clonezilla.org/
    Limitations:

    The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
    

    However, if you really want to do that, and you are sure the data are within the boundary, you can enter expert mode, and select the options "-k1" and "-icds". It might work.

    Steven.
