Hi Ed New computers with NVMe M.2 drives are usually configured from the factory with the BIOS UEFI set to RAID mode. This usually requires a proprietary driver to read the data from the drive. The RAID driver configuration mode has many names, it may be listed as RAID, VMD, RST or other. Clonezilla may not include a RAID driver that can read your data in RAID mode. This is why you may need to switch to ACHI driver mode. Just change the BIOS UEFI driver mode to ACHI mode and then Clonezilla can read...

Hi Ed You should be good to clone once you change the controller to AHCI. You may need to restore the setting to RAID after cloning to be able to boot your PC. Enjoy.

Hi Ed Your drive controller may be configured in RAID or VMD mode instead of AHCI mode required for Clonezilla. Please see this FAQ : https://drbl.org/fine-print.php?path=./faq/2_System/136_VMD_disk.faq#136_VMD_disk.faq Chuck

Hi Karl You didn't tell us the type of files you are trying to clone, but I'm going to guess that it's Windows. Clonezilla will use dd to clone a Windows disk if it can't read the disk files because Windows Fast Startup is ON or that Windows BitLocker is ON. Make sure that they are OFF and you should be good to go. Also running a Windows Disk Check on your disk is also a very good idea before cloning (C:> CHKDSK C: /F).

Hi Yannick First, make sure that you are using a current version of Clonezilla. Next, if you can't see your NVMe drive then it is probably configured with a RAID driver that Clonezilla can't read. Go into the BIOS UEFI configuration and change the drive settings from VMD or Rapid Storage Technology RST to AHCI, save and reboot, then create the clone image of the PC with Clonezilla, then reboot and turn RST back on and then reboot again. This usually works with most Windows PCs that were created with...

Hi Frankie On your new Dell PC, open the Dell BIOS UEFI configuration page and change the NVMe drive mode from Intel RST or VMD to ACHI, save and reboot. Clonezilla should now be able to use your new Dell NVMe drive and write your image. Depending on how you created your old PC image you may or may not need to turn off ACHI and turn back on RST or VMD. I don't like to use RST or VMD so I never turn it back on. This works for me, your mileage may vary. https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discuss...
