#189 Failure to
I'm having challenges with Clonezilla in continuously recognizing a SSD. I am getting a similar error to #89 and #110. I am trying to upgrade a laptop from a m.2 2280 SSD to a new SSD with the same form factor (256GB to 1TB). I am using an ASUS laptop with Windows 11. I created an image of my existing SSD on a partition on a USB external hard drive, and am using a separate usb flash drive to run Clonezilla live. When taking out the old SSD and putting in the new one my laptop recognizes the new SSD in BIOS, and when running clonezilla live it initially sees the new SSD. This is stable, and doesn't depend on how long it's been running. But invariably, once I select the image clonezilla stops seeing the new hard drive, and even restarting the process it will fail to see the hard drive. If I restart the computer clonezilla will see the hard drive again right until I need to actually install the image onto it. I have a fully updated BIOS, though it is an older laptop.
I'm using Clonezilla 3.2.2-15-amd64.iso.
No idea. Normally this should not happen.
One possibility is the hardware issue. If not, please give testing Clonezilla live a try, e.g., 3.3.0-20 or 20250921-questing. They come with newer Linux kernel so might support your hardware better:
