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

I have used clonezilla for years and years. I can't remember a situation

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

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.

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

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
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
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
