[Clonezilla-live] Restoring Dell image to different/larger drive/partition

[Steve P. <Ste...@de...>]

I am using Clonezilla 1.2.4-28 to clone a Dell E4300 Windows XP laptop. I've noticed that there is a hidden partition (sda1 - FAT16) which contains the Dell utility. Windows boots from sda2 and we have a data directory on sda3.

The laptop comes with a 160GB. If I insert a 250GB drive and proportionally size the drive, the system fails to boot (no blue screen) or we get a NTLDR (0xc000000e).

If I don't do a proportional resize, the image loads fine.

I don't know of a way to reimage without the Dell partition, outside of a complete rebuild, but I cannot expand to a larger disk.

I have also tried doing a backup of the Windows partition (sda2) and force it to sda1 but I've had no luck with that.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Steve
