I tried to clone a 500 GB HDD with partitions (Recovery, HP Tools, etc.) on a 480GB SSD
In an expert way I have chosen
-K1 Create partitions Tables proportionally
Clonezilla reported some partitions failed during cloning
Starting the PC with the 500gb HDD, which the newly cloned 480 SSD disk, windows10 failed to start reporting the error of a bad configuration
Where did I go wrong ?
I followed these instructions:

I suggest you can use GParted live to resize the partitions to be within 480 GB, then use Clonezilla live >= 2.6.7-28 or 20200703-*. By entering expert mode, choose "-icds", and no need to use the option "-k1" or any other -k* option, i.e., use the partition table from source disk. Then clone it.

//NOTE// It's recommended to backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.
