shrinking image before capturing it

[robina80]

hi all,

is there anyway with clonezilla or do i need to use a tool before to shrink the partitions to only whats being used and to capture that instead of the whole disk, incase i come across a target disk bigger than source disk

thanks,
rob

tbh before i capture using sysprep i do this on windows

$mins = get-partitionsupportedsize -driveletter c | select-object -expandproperty sizemin
resize-partition -driveletter c -size $mins

i then "restorepart" and i do select expert option -r -icds and -k1 and yet still the size hasnt expanded

I am not familiar with MS Windows, and I have never done that in MS Windows.
However, I am sure the GParted way works.
