Hi there.
Well, i want to change the drive in my laptop due to the fact that im running out of memory.
But i dont want to reinstall the hole system(s), therefore i want to copy all to the new disk.
After a quick search i found what im locking for: clonezilla
So far so good!
I got tuxboot and placed the liveversion on my usb flash, reboot, going through the menus.
expert mode - copy disk to disk - new mbr -start - yes - yes - yes - omg YES - start
Immediately after partclone culculat the bitmap i get my "invalid pointer" exception:
(sda is my internal hdd and sdc is connected through usb)
Partclone v0.2.23
Starting to back up device (/dev/sda1) to device (/dev/sdc1)
Calculating bitmap … Please wait … File System: NTFS
Device size: 83,8 GB
Space in use: 79,3 GB
Free space: 4,4 GB
Block size: 4096 Byte
Used block: 19362854
Syncing … OK!
Partclone succesfully cloned the device (/dev/sda1) to the device (/dev/sdc1)
Exact same problem here. I'm guessing your system is Microsoft. Welcome to open source. :-) You probably won't get a solution for this anytime soon.
Here's what you can do. BUY another hard disk (yeah, open source has those "hidden" costs). Clone your old hard disk into an image (not device-to-device). Then restore from the image.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Maybe you can try:
1. Clonezilla live 1.2.9-12, which comes with newer kernel and partclone.
2. Run file system checking program for your MS windows. E.g. chkdsk /p /r

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. Clonezilla Live 1.2.9-12 not tested by me yet. I kept my old hard disk, will test it for you guys some time.
2. chkdsk revealed no errors with my old hard disk. So this is really a Clonezilla (partclone.ntfs) problem.
Do note that I had successfully migrated my OS to a bigger newer hard disk. Solution is as I had recommended to freshfunkybitch. Actually purchased ANOTHER hard disk to store a disk image. Then restored the disk image to the target hard disk. Then used GParted to fully utilize target hard disk.

Meanwhile i cloned the disk with another tool without problems.
But, to steven:
checkdisk found no errors. i doublecheckt^^ every single sektor, no errors.
and due to the fact that it never started copying, its maybe a partcloneproblem.

Hi steven_shiau,
1. Clonezilla Live 1.2.9-12 not tested by me yet. I kept my old hard disk, will test it for you guys some time.
2. chkdsk revealed no errors with my old hard disk. So this is really a Clonezilla (partclone.ntfs) problem.
Do note that I had successfully migrated my OS to a bigger newer hard disk. Solution is as I had recommended to freshfunkybitch. Actually purchased ANOTHER hard disk to store a disk image. Then restored the disk image to the target hard disk. Then used GParted to fully utilize target hard disk.
OK, if you encounter the problem in the future, please let us know again.
Thanks.
Steven.
Hoi.
Meanwhile i cloned the disk with another tool without problems.
But, to steven:
checkdisk found no errors. i doublecheckt^^ every single sektor, no errors.
and due to the fact that it never started copying, its maybe a partcloneproblem.
