    I am using Clonezilla to make Disk Images, upon restoring to a larger partition than the original partition Windows always needs to run Check Disk, is there an option I am missing during the restore to make windows see a "clean" disk.

    I have tried with ntfsclone, partclone and partimage all restores required a check disk.
    I am using sfdisk to laydown my own partition table and using -k on restoredisk

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    I think I solved this myself.. After many runs, I just saw for the first time that NTFSRESZIE (the -r switch invokes) schedules check disk to be run on the disk. So I found that leaving the -r off my restore disk, my disk is still resized and no check disk is run.

    Thanks
