    Trueimage- strange lady-dont understand you-sometimes

    Did a clonezilla-cloning of 500gb-drive with partitions. Since i didnt know how to handle( wanted enlarged systempartition, all partitions enlarged) a 1:1 copy was made onto a 1tb-drive. remaining space was used for an additional partition.
    Then i defragged(defraggler used) all partitions etc.
    Then wanted to clone systempartition only. But trueimage is so non-intuitive that i am unable to do that.
    With ghost such procedures were simple. winxp in use until now.
    How can i do this job, with trueimage maybe clonezilla?
    i remember last time with a different drive i had to backup partitition first and then use that backup to "clone".
    Indirect cloning.

    Use gparted and hide the one you have done.
    Make the systempartition the boot partition

    Maybe TI will see it now

    Be sure to reverse that or it will not boot.
    What I would try.

    Read this
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=windows-7

    With clonezilla save as disk image would get the system partition so. Ghost did just that.

    A word about savedisk
    Savedisk operation lets you clone an entire disk. This can be useful, although I think saving specific partitions is more effective. You gain modularity and flexibility and save space. Data partitions do not need to be images, because there is no importance to partition table or filesystem structure.

    Be darn it that isn't a better tutorial!

    Hope this works for german

    Thanks, i know english quite well(i repeated two classes and read a lot of american photomagazines or viceversa...). Its only when there are strange new procedures which i do not yet know.

    Is clonezilla-cloning of systempartition always a two-step-method? first saving the image (saveparts) then restoring it(restoreparts)? in trueimage it would be backup then restore.

    Well, when cloning the drive, it takes everything even where the partitions are. It doesn't take long to do it either.

    Downloaded clonezilla and made the cd. Definitely will be playing with it.

    If it does not want to boot, will use grub4dos, but time will tell.

    partition to partition-backup is still a book with 7 seals using trueimage. TI wants to produce a file or i have a bad bootcd. Sometimes it hangs. gparted will be used now hope its as easy like ghost.
