I have one drive mounted, setup with the image and the other (target) drive is formatted, 136 GB dynamically sizing disk.
Clonezilla finds my image but when I go to restore, says the target drive is too small.
The message is that:
The target disk (size= 266236320 sectors) is smaller than the source disk of 488397168 sectors ...
I understand that it can't restore to a smaller partition, but the target partition is larger. I've created it several times, with Fdisk and the VM's disk wizard with out any luck.
Please help.
Thx.
Chris.

Which version of Clonezilla live are you using?
Not sure this is a bug of partclone or not. Maybe you can enter expert mode, choose "-q" (i.e. to use partimage instead of partclone) to clone it.

Are you sure the image was created with "-q" ?
Could you please run:
ls -alFh /home/partimag/IMAGENAME (replease IMAGENAME with your image name)
then post the results?

Yes I'm sure. I took 2 images and followed the instructions to the t. -q was one I distincly remember.
I logged in, mounted /home/partimag and ran that command.
It comes back with a directory listing of /home/partimage/2009-09-08-15-img/ Most of the files start with sda2.ntfs-img.
Unfortunately I can't "copy" it to clipboard but I can take a screenshot. Is there somewhere I can email it or a way to attach?
(I tried the mouse button click and selecting the text but for some reason can't copy it, clipboard is set to be shared in MSVPC)

I think Clonezilla is recognizing my target drive as the wrong size.
I created an image of a 60 GB partition on a physical Win 7 machine and am trying to restore it to a win 7 VM, 136 GB partition. I'm using MS VPC 2007.
Am using the instrucitons here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-clonezilla/index.html?ca=dgr-lnxw100Clonezilla&S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=grlnxw100

Hi Steven,
I've used both clonezilla-live-1.2.2-26 and clonezilla-live-1.2.3-1.
The image is created with -q.
When I used fdisk to create the partition, even it recognizes the target as 136 GB.

ls -alFh /home/partimag/IMAGENAME (replease IMAGENAME with your image name)
