    After cloning /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 the /dev/sda3 ran for about an hour, got to 57.03% (block 7651458 of 240108031) and appeared to just hang indefinitely. After giving it 1.5 hours to try to do something, I rebooted the computer.

    Any hints? Obviously it can see both the source and target drive (target is connected via USB). Hoping a re-do will be "magic", but have my doubts.

    The reason I am cloning this is the source disk is throwing "eminent failure" warnings.... Windows 7, UEFI platform.

    Are there any "expert mode" command options I might try if this second attempt using "beginner settings" does not make it?

    Thanks -

      In that case, maybe it's hardware issue making the cloning hang there. If so, maybe you should try another program "ddrescue" for this kind of purpose.

    um, never mind - moving to Clonezilla forum ... not sure how I got here originally ;)
