Hi Jacob FYI Sometimes at a blank screen you can just press the Enter key to get CloneZilla to continue. These UEFI/BIOS settings will let me clone a Lenovo ThinkPad T480 with the latest CloneZilla: Security - Secure Boot - Disabled Startup - UEFI/Legacy Boot -Both Startup - UEFI/Legacy Boot - UEFI/Legacy Boot Priority - UEFI First Startup - UEFI/Legacy Boot - CSM Support - Yes Like Steven said, always use a current version of CloneZilla for best results.
Hi Tbasura Clonezilla Server Lite will begin after a set time or number of clients have been found. Make sure that this parameter is set correctly and yes you can set it to just 1 client. It is hard for us to give you network advice since we don't know any details of your network but here are a few things that you can try. Use broadcast mode instead of multicast mode. Replace your switch gear with another brand or type. Don't use your production network. Use a closed network with DHCP from Clonezilla...
Hi Gregg Sounds like you are doing all the right things. Download the latest version of Clonezilla 3.0.2 and let us know if it works for you.
You will never get satisfactory results in cloning a mechanically damaged drive. You should have stated that you have a damaged drive in your first post.
Hi Todd I'm not sure why you would want to restore the partition to a third drive. There are a lot of variables in successfully moving data from a large drive to a smaller drive so you will just have to follow the steps in the FAQ to see if it will restore your drive without errors.
Hi Todd From the Clonezilla FAQ This is always a challenge to Clonezilla because it's block-based tool, not file-based one. https://drbl.org/fine-print.php?path=./faq/2_System/119_larger_to_smaller_disk_restore_clone.faq#119_larger_to_smaller_disk_restore_clone.faq

Hi Sergey One more thing. Try using the latest version of Clonezilla Live if you are not already using it. Many times the latest driver and kernel updates fix a lot of issues. Chuck
Hi Sergey Take a look at the Clonezilla / DRBL FAQ on NVMe M.2 drives. Maybe it will help you with your issue. https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/130_no_source_disk_on_dell_machine.faq#130_no_source_disk_on_dell_machine.faq Chuck
Hi Wei Boot your PC with the latest Clonezilla Live USB drive and then select the Enter Shell (command line prompt). You can then type the following commands to change the device name in a saved image: user@groovy:~$ user@groovy:~$ sudo -i user@groovy:~# cnvt-ocs-dev

Hi Steven The Lenovo ThinkCentre M920z has a Smart Power On USB port to supply power to the keyboard when the PC is off (if Enabled in BIOS). Very interesting! I think that this hardware design may be related to the boot problem. But when I set the BIOS to either Enabled or Disabled it will NOT let me boot with a unmodified clonezilla-live-20200922-groovy-amd64.iso boot parameters on ANY of the USB ports. Maybe a kernel update will address this issue. Thanks for your help with this issue. Chuck
Hi Steven Maybe a kernel update will fix it. We will see. Thanks for you help. Chuck
Hi Steven Sorry I missed that! It has been a busy morning! Yes that boot parameter edit works for me!
Hi Steven I removed "quiet" and here is the screenshot whre it stops.
Hi Steven Yes clonezilla-live-2.6.8-12-amd64.iso it hangs at "configuring keyboard..." just like using clonezilla-live-20200910-groovy-amd64.iso and clonezilla-live-20200922-groovy-amd64.iso on real PC hardware.
Hi Steven I just ran clonezilla-live-20200922-groovy-amd64.iso inside Windows 10 Pro 64 VirtualBox 6.1 on the same PC hardware and it does not hang up at "configuring keyboard..." just like your test. But I don't know why it hangs running on the real PC hardware!

Hi Steven A quick test of the submenu options in clonezilla-live-20200703-groovy-amd64 works for me! Thanks for the quick fix! Chuck
Hi Steven Thanks forthe quick revision clonezilla-live-20200702-groovy-amd64 but it still fails for me when I select any menu item in the submenu 'Other modes of Clonezilla live'. I have tested on 2 different UEFI PCs and both fail as before with clonezilla-live-20200630-groovy-amd64. What can I do to help? Chuck
Hi Steven The error is in the grub.cfg file. The function that sets linux_cmd=linuxefi and also sets initrd_cmd=initrdefi is not getting passed to the submenu 'Other modes of Clonezilla live'. Any submenu selection will fail. But if you edit the grub.cfg file and add the function to the submenu block then it works. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else. Chuck
Hi Steven I was testing 20200630 Clonezilla Live EFI Groovy today and think that it has a broken file: boot/grub/grub.cfg I think that the function that sets linux_cmd=linux or linuxefi and also sets initrd_cmd=initrd or initrdefi is not working as planned. It gives this error: error: can't find command '/live/vmlinuz'. error: can't find command '/live/initrd.img'. I will be glad to test a patch when you get it released. Chuck
Hi Mark That is good news that the file systems (software) are in good shape on both drives. Next I would run the Disks application Short S.M.A.R.T. test from a live Linux USB drive if you want to check the (hardware) health of your drives. Then if everything is still good you can create another image with Clonezilla Live.
Hi Mark Did you check your Windows 7 NTFS file system for errors before you made your image? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2641432/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors-in-windows-7 I always run Windows disk check and then reboot Windows at least twice and then shutdown before I make a new image. You can also check the hardware health of your Windows 7 drive and your USB external drive by using a USB drive loaded with Ubuntu Live and run a Short S.M.A.R.T. test from the Disks application. https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/how-test-solid-state-drive-health-gnome-disks/...
Hi Mark I still suggest that you format your external drive exFAT so you can read and write to the drive from Windows, macOS, and Linux. https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20821#exfatwin10
Hi Mark Create your USB 16 GB external flash drive with Rufus and Clonezilla Live. (DONE) Format your USB 4 TB external drive as one large exFAT partition. Backup any important files if any before you format this drive as they will be lost!

Hi Mark You are off to a good start. But it sounds like you are trying to save the image on the same USB drive that you booted with Clonezilla Live. This is possible but not recommended. The best option is to use a small USB boot drive with Clonezilla Live installed (which you have just created) and then use another USB drive to hold the saved image(s). https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/131_no_modification_to_restored_OS.faq#131_no_modification_to_restored_OS.faq https://clonez...

Hi C.W. Techs You can use the latest testing AMD64 version of (either Debian-based or Ubuntu-based) Clonezilla live with Secure Boot enabled. https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php But when I clone Windows 10 UEFI PCs I just disable Secure Boot while I image the PC then optionally enable it after the image is complete (if needed). Don't forget to turn off Windows 10 Fast Startup, run a disk check, and then reboot your Windows PC before you create your new image. https://www.howtogeek.com/243901/the-pros-and-cons-of-windows-10s-fast-startup-mode/...

Hi Steven All of these were done in either multicast or broadcast mode on a closed network with a single switch and Clonezilla Lite Server. I'll use bittorrent mode on my next set of targets later this month and report back to you! Thanks. Chuck
Hi Troy Start by looking at your network hardware. Make sure it fully supports multicast and is configured properly. Avoid using your production network if you can. Try using different brands or models of switch hardware or use broadcast mode. I have the best success with a closed network consisting of just the Clonezilla Lite Server and the clients I need to clone today and a single non-managed layer 2 switch. Good luck.

I used my usual test network and options: KMS, PXE, Beginner Restore Disk and Multicast Restore over a Cisco Catalyst 3560 fast ethernet switch on a closed network. The master Windows 10 Pro 64 image was stored on an external USB3 hard drive and was created with Clonezilla Live clonezilla-live-20170508-zesty-amd64.iso....
