Hello,
Can someone please help me to solve my problem to clone thinkpad lenovos in my administration ( models R400, X200 and SL500C )
I have search a lot in the web and i'm so confused now.
They have a restore partition in "eisa" type hidden and a "strange" mbr perhaps longer than normal mbr.
I can make a "master" image of the disk but i can't "clone" it (restore it to another)
I've seen different error messages :
- signature failure
- disk read error
I've tested to make some images, ands some options to restore these images (http://www.ecs.umass.edu/pipermail/umasslug/2008-August/003379.html)
I've tested also to clone two times as it say in this forum.
I've tested FIXMBR, FIXBOOT.
Can anyone have a solution to help to definitely clone this portables.
P.S.: my different test are with clonezilla live stable version and a karmic version
P.S.BIS: sorry for my poor english

Hello,
Sorry but I can't connect to this forum since 2 days. I 'have found the solution too my problem.
Choose expert mode and select ONLY -E2 and -T1 options in the first page AND select J0 on the second page (clone with dd)
that's all.
I hope that will function for the other lenovos and thinkpads.

"I don't know how to lock a topic in this forum" -> I do not think there is such function in this forum. If someone on this forum knows sourceforge provides such a function, please tell us.

So did you mean Clonezilla restored the image for you, but the problem is on the booting of the restored MS windows?
