    Hello everyone.
    I need to clone hard drive which is 160 GB large.
    Here is partition layout from fdisk

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 1 3824 30716248+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda2 3825 10198 51199155 83 Linux
    /dev/sda3 10199 16572 51199155 83 Linux
    /dev/sda4 16573 19457 23173762+ 5 Extended
    /dev/sda5 16573 19122 20482843+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda6 19123 19374 2024158+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

    I want to use Clonezilla to clone disk whole disk to new one which is 500 GB large.
    Can I use disk-to-disk option clone with propotional resizing without any problems?
    Or is it better to clone in begginer mode and then resize partitions on destination disk using gparted live?
    I don't want to mess with grub and partition UUIDs.
    So please advice me the easiest way to do that kind of clone.

    "Can I use disk-to-disk option clone with propotional resizing without any problems?" -> Basically the answer is yes. You can enter expert mode, and choose the option "-k1".
    //NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.

    Steven.
