Assume the following situation:
UEFI-based dualboot system consisting of Windows and Linux.
Partitioning:
- Partition 1: FAT32, EFI-Boot-Partition
- Partition 2: EXT4, Linux Root /
- Partition 3: EXT4, Linux Home /home
- Partition 4: NTFS, Windows
- Partition 5: NTFS, Microsoft reserved partition
The question now is:
If I create a backup-image from the Windows-partition (partition no. 4) via Clonezilla, can I restore this image to partition no. 2 on a empty drive and reconfigure the Windows bootloader to target to partition no. 2 then?
In initial state, the Windows bootloader would point to the partition no. 4 where Windows is not existent anymore.
Or is it only possible to restore images to the initial partition number where they were created?
So it is possible to restore the previous Windows partition 4 to the new partition 2? But how does the Windows EFI-bootloader detect that Windows is now on partition 2 instead of the initial partition 4? – Dave – 2018-04-29T19:13:43.137
You'd have to reconfigure it - that i'm unsure how to do. – djsmiley2k TMW – 2018-04-30T09:20:16.900
