    unaligned - 2013-05-01

    Greetings,

    I am sure this is a fairly simple problem to solve, though so far I've not found how to do it on these forums or google.

    I'm looking to go from a 750GB HDD with two partions - a 50GB main partition running Linux Mint and a 700GB data partition - to a 2TB drive with 100GB and 1.9GB partitions.

    What would be the easiest way to do this with Clonezilla?

    So far just doing a normal disk to disk clone does it just fine, but the sizes of the partitions are not correct when I boot with the new drive, and gparted won't allow me to resize them with the extra space.

    Make
    -a normal savedisk image with clonezilla from your 750GB HDD to an external usb drive.
    -Change your HDDs (750GB HDD to 2TB)
    -then use Clonezilla restoredisk in expert mode from your external drive as follows:

    If the target disk size is larger than the size of source disk of image, e.g. "2013-05-03-img",
    you can try to use option "-k1" which will create the partition table proportionally in the target disk
    and turn on the option "-r" to resize the file system in the partition automatically.
    The advanced parameters for restoring mode can you find too:
