Hello,
First great product, and thank you.
I am cloning a smaller SSD (128gb) to a larger SSD (250gb) and all went flawless, except for my understanding. When I attached the new drive to boot, all works great, except that it matched the identical partition sizing. So when I view the details on the new drive, I was out of room like the older drive. When I used Clonzilla I used all default, not thinking it would just do it to proportion. I then ran Clonezilla again as expert mode -r, which I assumed would just clone and use the entire new drive. But, when I ran expert mode it failed as error with partition. In order to run Clonezilla again as expert, do I need to format drive first. I thought clonezilla erassed the drive prior to new install.
Thank you for any help,
JR

Hello,
I downloaded the AMD ISO version.
I just can not reproduce this issue here.
Could you please show the green command you had there? Like this one:

Hello,
Thank you very much for the help. I have attached the image plus a couple more. I do otice at the beginning of the process I get a memdisk error. Not sure it matters. Also does it matter that the drive is formatted in NTFS, but it has failed in all formats, even out of the box.
Thank you
Hello Steven,
Any chance you had time to view the images I uploaded. I appreciate any help. Thank you
@JR,
This issue should have been fixed in Clonezilla live >= 2.6.7-12 and 20200528-*:

Please give it a try and let us know the results.
Thanks.

Hello Steven,
Thank you very much and will try today. Just a couple of setup questions, as I have read a few different messages on the net.
Can the drive be 4096 bytes per sector
Is NTFS format okay.
Can the drive be either MBR or GPT
Thank you
"Can the drive be 4096 bytes per sector" -> Sure. Both of your source and destination disks are SSD. Same type, so no problem I belive.
"Is NTFS format okay." -> OK.
"Can the drive be either MBR or GPT" -> Both should be fine since it's not larger than 2.4 TB.

Hello,
Thank you. Wish me luck :). Have a great day.
No problem.
BTW, backup your data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.
