Hi everyone, I'm having a problem while restoring a partition from my old disc to the new one:
My old disk had 2 partitions, the new one has three.
I'm trying to restore old disk's sda2 (60GB) to new disk's sda3 (80GB) but before starting the process I get an error and I can't procede.
The error reads that the image file has an error but I'm fairly sure it's not the case since I tried recreating the image 3 time and I always get that error.
Is there a problem restorn a sda2 to a sda3? Is there a workaround?
Thak you.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You have to manually modify the image.
1. cp -a source-image target-image
2. cd target-image
3. rename sda2* as sda3*
4. edit the contents of parts file if "sda2" is not shown on that. The target-image dir should be ready.
5. When restoring, choose restoreparts, make sure you use "-k" option, i.e. "Do NOT create partition table in in target disk".
I guess that's all.
