    Hello,

    I booted up a computer with clonezilla-live-20230426-lunar-amd64.iso, and used the default settings to copy an NTFS partition (/dev/sdb1) on disk #1 to an NTFS partition (/dev/sda1) on disk #2… and failed.

    Based on the screenshots, any idea why?

    Thank you.

    Note that clicking on Check from within Windows returned no error.

    --
    Edit: Clonezilla still isn't happy, but ntfsclone is after running "chkdsk.exe /x /r/ /f" on Windows.

    Problem solved AFAIC, although it'd be nice to know why CZ doesn't work as expected.

    Is this issue reproducible on testing Clonezilla live, e.g.,>= 3.1.1-17 or 20230825-mantic?

    So what's the green command like this?

    BTW, are you sure the destination partition /dev/sda1 exists?
    //NOTE// Make sure you are very sure about which one is source, and which one is destination. If you choose the wrong me, all the data on destination device will be gone.
