Hello there,
I am having a serious problem i cannot solve in any way… I have a 500 GB Drive with my system and stuff. I have got a new drive now hybring 750 GB drive and i would like to clone my old drive to the new one.
The problem is, everytime it is trying to clone its partitions it says:
Target partition size ( 2 MB) is smaller than source (102400 MB). Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous).
.
But i cant find the -C option in exprert mode.
Same thing shows when im trying to restore a disk image to my new drive. I dont understand it i even tried to format the 750 GB drive, its like he sees some partitions there that doesnt exist.
Im really confused about this and i dont know what to do. I tried enabling -icds havent helped.
Any help would be really aprichiated.

That's all for image saving.
The partitions of the new disk should be equal to or greater than the old partitions.
Change with 'gparted live'.
