I have a 1TB MBR disk I would like to clone to a 2TB GUID disk. (I hope that's a correct statement). I did the clone and it seemed to go fine. I try to boot and I get a grub prompt. I try to load the grub.cfg so I can boot and it just returns to the grub prompt. If I boot from an ubuntu live USB I can access my original grub.cfg just fine, on the new drive its garbage, corrupted it seems. Cant even edit it (gedit hangs).
I'm assuming I didnt have an option set right in my disk>disk options. I want to try again. Any guidance?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Clonezilla can not clone a MBR disk to a GPT disk. It will create MBR table on your destination disk. Therefore the destination disk is still use MBR partition table, not GPT. You might could use some other tools to convert that.

Using clonezilla-live-20140114-saucy-i386
In this situation I have used 'Boot-Repair'.
( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair )
More information can you find in Clonezilla Help:
'Restoring partition image results in "grub rescue" prompt'

Boot-repair detected no changes to be made, did nothing. I'm going to re-clone and see what happens.
