I'm trying to replace a HDD with a SSD of slightly smaller size. The machine runs Windows 7 and has two partitions.
The source HDD is 250 GB has the two partitions, and about 60 GB of the HDD is in use. The destination drive is 240 GB. I used Gparted to ensure the partitioned size of the source is 20 GB smaller than the capacity of the destination.
I tried a local to local disk clone using basic mode, and using advanced mode with the -icds option (and here). None of the methods have worked. The first partition clones OK, but the second partition fails because the destination drive is too small.
How do I clone given basic and advanced mode has failed?
1You need to either specifically indicated the starting and ending sector index or shrink the source partition or indicate the sectors from the image itself to restore. Your choice. Hopefully you won't chew my face off for responding – Ramhound – 2016-02-16T22:17:12.880
