      Crappy workaround. There should be an option in the clone disk dialog to basically do this as long as used partition sizes are small enough.

        Too much trouble. I'd just use something else.

          In the past, I've created same-sized VHD's in Windows, cloned to it (albeit not with Clonezilla) and then shrunk the VHD afterwards. It's not the fastest procedure in the world, but it works.

            i want only to inform you about my experience with clonezilla, it is very risky to use it, couple of weeks ago i tried to take a system image of one of my workstation, after doing so: the system cannot boot, i lost everything and i was obliged to format the computer, it was really a bad experience 😞 believe me guys

              I don't know what it is with CloneZilla, when I use it I have to copy the drive twice. The first time will never boot, but the second time everything works fine.

                I've been using it to clone machines for 7 years. In that time I've probably cloned nearly 200 times and probably had problems 2 or 3 times.

                @IT-ADMIN , are you using any of the special switches during your cloning?

                      when you are running clonezilla, you can pick options (-p or -ick, etc) this are called switches or options.
