Hi,
I have never used Clonezilla and do not know very much about it or how to use it yet, but I would like some advice, please, for when I have read up how to use it:
My desktop machine has two hard drives (HD) one contains Windows 7 and the other contains Ubuntu and Manjaro.
I would like to replace the two HDs, which are getting old, with a new higher capacity HD and what I would like to know is whether Clonzilla could take the contents of both drives, which have different file systems, and transfer them to the new HD in one operation; or would I have to do each HD separately and create the appropriate partitions on the new HD?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"would I have to do each HD separately and create the appropriate partitions on the new HD?" -> Only this, and you could use "partition to local partition" to clone that.
After all the partitions are cloned, you have to deal with your boot loader, and the /etc/fstab of your Linux system.
//NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.
Steven.
