I may have used the term "geometry" too loosely, but the impression I
got was that at least the partition sizes had to be the same. But your
experience suggests that they can actually be larger, which might make
it easier for me. I will be doing this test soon.
Bill, do you have experience with restoring Windows 7? I was thinking
I should make 2 partitions on the smaller destination drive that were
clearly larger than the 2 partitions on my source drive, then try to
restore that way and see if I still have problems. This is something I
haven't tried yet, and it seems to be working well for you. I honestly
don't care if Windows 7's boot partition is 100 MiB or 150 MiB, as
long as everything else works properly; unless there's a reason for
the exact size.
Here's one more thing I thought of: Do you think Clonezilla is smart
enough to choose which partition to restore to? Say there's a 20 GB
partition and a 100 MB partition on the source drive, and then I make
a 25 GB partition and a 150 MB partition on the destination drive to
be safe. Would Clonezilla be smart enough to know the 100 MB partition
should be restored to the 150 MB partition instead of the 25 GB one? I
didn't see an option that let me choose when I was restoring.
