Hi, Sorry to bother you with this (probably) very basic stuff:
I'm trying to clone my HHD to a new SSD with Clonezilla live from a cd but I can't seem to enter expert mode. When I choose expert mode I don't get the page with all the extra options but go straight to the one where I have to choose "disk_to_local_disk". Any help is welcome since my HDD is threatening to crash within 24hrs.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Thanks for the speedy reply.
I'm following the step by step disk to disk clone directions (https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone), using the stable 2.7.1-22 download.
I select device-device (IMG_0176) and then Expert (IMG_0177) but instead of getting a list with options, the next screen that appears is the one in IMG_0178.
Problem solved. Cloning took 4hrs over a usb 2 connection but everything seems fine. All that remains to be done now is to install my new SSD.
(For now there's no mounting point for the 3rd partition, which should be /boot, but I assume that's because I've only plugged in the SSD to check and it will be okay once it is functioning as the only hard drive in my laptop...)
Regards,
Guy

Problem definitely solved: installed my shiny new SSD and everything works like a charm.
One mystery though: Gparted says /boot is now using 56MB of the available 400MB while it was only 46MB of the available 100MB on the old HDD. Although df -h /boot says only 41MB are used. Probably no big deal since everything seems to be okay.

Sure, those expert settings are after the wizard shown in IMG-0178.JPG. You can check here for the whole process:
https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone
Some of the TUI will be shown only in the expert mode. Basically it's mixed in the steps of the beginner mode.

My bad, I expected the expert settings to show up between IMG_0177 and IMG_0178.
I'll give it another try.
Thanks again,
Guy

Probably due to the difference between MiB and MB - try
df -H /bootto see usage where 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes.That's what I thought at first but it only gives 43M. So there's still a difference of about 20%.
Thanks for the tip, anyway.
