    Hello everyone! So here's my problem: I have a 128g ssd, a 160g hard drive, and a 500g hard drive. I originally had windows 10 installed on the ssd, but I wanted to see how Linux Chakra would run on it, so I used clonezilla to copy it to the 160g drive, before installing linux on the ssd. The problem is that the 160g hard drive is old and VERY slow. I used clonezilla again to copy windows to the 500g hard drive, which is slightly faster. Is it possible to move windows back onto the ssd? Keep in mind, I haven't messed with any of the partition sizes; the drive shows up as roughly 128g.

    So did you mean to clone 500 GB disk to 160 GB one? It's possible you can make it with expert mode and use the option "-k1" and "-icds". However, this is not guaranteed because Clonezilla is a block-based program, not file-based program.
    //NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla live. Just in case.
