    I am cloning a 500GB HDD to a new 500GB SSD. Windows 7 is installed on the source drive.

    I select my source and target, complete my confirmations, and the process begins and almost immediately completes. Looking at the target drive, the partitions (1 hidden partition + 1 OS partition) are created but the contents are not cloned. Adjusting options such as forcing sector-by-sector copy, opting to resize or not resize partitions, doesn't matter. It always finishes without actually cloning the partitions.

    Furthermore, when attempting to do a partition to partition clone to fill the empty partitions created by the failed disk cloning process, the partitions on the original HDD are never presented as an option for source partition. I have tried connecting the HDD to the machine by SATA and by a USB-SATA adapter but the outcome is the same.

    No apparent error messages are visible.

    Do you know the partitions layout on the source disk?
    Please run the following commands on Clonezilla live command prompt:

    1. sudo -i
    2. blkid
    3. cat /proc/partitions
    4. parted -s /dev/sda print
      (Assume your source disk is /dev/sda)
      Please post the results of (2)-(4).
      Thanks.

    Steven.
