I recently cloned a CentOS6 environment from 1TB HDD and intended to restore its image to a 4 TB space. I used Clonezilla for this.
The clone went successful, but after that when I tried to restore the cloned-image to the new hard disk space, the system is not booting up. The restoration process went successful but still the system says no booting point found.
I check online, but people who had faced that same issue was mostly dealing with Windows system, that got recovered from Windows CD. For me, I am using CentOS6. I don't have that option. What strategy should I adopt so that I can boot up the backed up enviornment into the new system?

What version of centos? Is the bios declaring the boot failure or do you get to grub? Did you do a full disk clone or a partition clone? For starters this link might help (its for grub2 , introduced in centos 7). I don't know without more info: https://www.linux.com/learn/how-rescue-non-booting-grub-2-linux

Also, check the BIOS to make sure you are booting from the desired device. – Edward_178118 – 2016-04-29T16:10:11.193
Also check the fstab file, as if it was configured for a specific UID for a drive, it is likely different on the new one. – None – 2016-04-29T16:17:44.653
