    HI everyone ,
    I got new ssd and windows 7 installed on it. I made an Image of the enitre 120GB ssd. My ssd has 43GB used space but when I made an imgae with clonezilla , output image is of 7 GB only. I noticed that the resulting image size is always very small with SSD comapred to HDD. Is it normal or clonezilla is not able to make a full image of my drive ?
    Thank you and cheers !!!

    If I'm not mistaken, I think I read that SSD's aren't supported yet.

      Don't throw around unsubstantiated claims. Though I guess we can expect no less from someone with your username ;-)
      Clonezilla works fine with SSD's in principle. There have been some problems (cf. https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/f2cc793d/ ) but I think these belong to the past. There can always be issues in individual cases. I'm not sure about your situation. 7 GB seems rather small.

    Down boy! Please note how I prefaced my remark. I said if I'm not mistaken, then again I guess we can expect no less from someone with your username. ;-)

    So you can learn from this, as you see you actually are mistaken. Prefacing your remark doesn't help at all. My advice: keep your suspicions to yourself unless you've done some research. Because, what does your contribution add to the discussion? Not even zero, but less than zero. Misinformation adds confusion and lengthens the troubleshooting process. Unless of course that's your goal.

    Copying my line doesn't make sense if you don't also add a comparandum: no less than what? I see a pattern emerging here: you just shouting blabla, making others work to make sense of what you mean.

    Wow, seriously? A little over reacting on your part, ya think? Ok, I don't think those seeing this will have to reach much to make sense of my following statement. You sir are a major DICK!

      And you do honor to your name. Or should we call you Dirty Harry H?
