I forgot to mention that I don't know how to make the partition sizes on the destination hard drive EXACTLY the same as the partition sizes on the source hard drive using only Gparted. I mean, I can only see the partition sizes down to a MiB, not a byte, so there's no way to know that the destination partition sizes are EXACTLY the same. This is actually why I initially did a clean installation of Windows on the destination hard drive; I figured doing so would create partitions that were the right size, even if they weren't blank. But as I mentioned, that method ended in failure; Windows failed to boot after the restoration. This should NOT have happened because Clonezilla is supposed to overwrite the destination partitions with data from the image whether the destination partitions are blank or not. Despite trying both methods, Windows still fails to boot. Please help! I've read the information at both Steven's links, but I still haven't been able to get it working. |
