I posed this same request to the group a couple weeks back. I was going to
wait until I was successful with two clones before I reported my results,
but here is what I tried and what worked. All my problems with cloning
arose from making a bootable HD. dd failed to make a bootable drive for me
a
For Linux the tool to use is dd in a terminal window. Google how to clone disk
with linux dd
On Windows there's the free AOMEI Partition Assistant, or their free Backupper.
I know Partition Assistant can copy non-Windows partitions, and under the
advanced settings it has a box to check for adju
Or download the System Rescue CD, boot it, launch the GUI (how to do that is on
the screen, just type startx then hit enter) and use the GUI version of GPartEd
(GNU Partition Editor). The drive you clone to still has to be exactly the same
size or larger because it can't simultaneously clone and
I use Macrium Reflect on Windows. It backups everything, windows, Linux, boot
partitions etc and can even restore to a smaller drive. Been using it for
years and works very well. Worth having a PC in the background just for this.

There should also be logic in place to prevent the tool from being released any
time the spindle is running, and to detect and set an alarm if the tool is not
properly clamped before and during running the spindle.

well, you can do it with dd, but the details are tricky at times.
You are not just "cloning" a disk, like you used to copy a disk. I drive
has multiple things, like an MBR, and
partitions and such. Most of the time to just clone a disk, copy it if
you will, works, but what one should really

Yes, this is true. But, if you copy the partition
correct BUT if you don't do that you won't have an exact copy, and if
you have "so so" sectors, you might not be able to fix that on
a "regular" copied drive. Also, some of these copy utilities do not
know why something is in a different order.

Look up R-Drive image. It works with Windows and will clone just about
anything. Linux drives are no big deal.
Its not free, but its not expensive either.
I have two USB to IDE/Sata adapters that I used to clone drives. Or you
can use one adapter and save the image from one drive and restore
I have used clonezilla for years and years. I can't remember a situation
that it didn't 'just work'
(cloning windows, mac, linux and whatever else..)

my old hard drive is 1000 gb the new SSD is 120 gb
So I definitely need to shrink the iso. But the actual data on the old
hard drive is probably only about 3 gb

OK, step one is use fdisk to see the partition arrangement
on the old drive.
