I am using an old i5 Desktop PC to do this.
So I connected the Mac Cube HDD 160GB (with Mac OS 10.4 on it) to the PATA port and an empty 120GB Samsung SATA SSD to the PC.
I'm booting clonezilla from a USB drive and take these steps:
- "device-devie work directly from a disk or partition to a ldisk or partition"
- "Beginner Beginner mode:..."
- "disk_to_local_disk local_disk_to_local_disk_clone"
- "choose local disk as source": "SDA 160GB..."
- "choose local disk as target": sdb 120GB_..."
- "sfsck skip checking..."
- "p choose"
- "Press Enter to continue": (commant it gives me for later use: /usr/sbin/ocs-onthefly -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -j2 -sfsch -p choose -f sda -d sdb
- "Are you sure you want to continue?" : "Y"
- "Are you sure you want to continue?" : "Y"
- >> And then it takes a few seconds, maybe 10, and the the programm ends without any copying done.
Can anybody give me instrucions, how to clone this HDD?
Is it a problem, that the hdd is bigger than the ssd?
All steps I've made are in the file-attachment in this post.
Which version of Clonezilla live did you use?
The photo "20210118_220724.jpg" is not so clear. Please tell us those words in red.
BTW, when you encounter that issue, enter command line prompt, then run:
1. sudo -i
2. parted -s /dev/sda print
3. parted -s /dev/sdb print
4. cat /proc/partitions
5. blkid
Then post the results of 2-5. Thanks.

Hey Steven,
- The vestion I'm using is: 2.7.0-10-amd64
- Words in red: "unknown partition table forman on disk /dev/sda.
- Words in red: "target_parts is NOT assigned in function task_restoreparts"
- result of 2-5, see attachment.
So your source disk is /dev/sdb (mac disk), while the destination one is /dev/sda? If so, in your photo, the /dev/sdb is shown as:
Partition table: mac
That's is not supported by Clonezilla. Modern Mac uses something like:
Partition Table: gpt
I do not have an old Mac to test, but maybe modify some parts of Clonezilla codes will make it work. Or you can manually create the partition table on the destination disk, then enter expert mode, choose not to create the partition table on the destination disk with option "-k": https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone/images/ocs-05-b-3-expert-param-k.png
Then do that cloning.

BTW, pay attention to the source and destination disks. You have to be very careful about which one is the source and which one is the destination. Sometimes the source one is /dev/sdb, and the destination one is /dev/sda.
I suggest you backup important data on the source disk before using Clonezilla. Just in case.

THANK YOU SO MUCH already!

OK, thank you Steven! I will try that tomorrow and let you know. btw, are you from Taiwan? I work for a Taiwanese company here in Switzerland :-0
Sure, take your time.
Cool. Yes, I am from Taiwan and live in Taiwan. It's nice to know we have some kind of connection in that way. :)
