Ok so I was trying to clone 512gb nvme ssd to my new 2tb drive with clonezilla and it keeps taking me to automatic repair. I unplugged the original drive and replaced it with the new one before booting. I ran a chkdsk both times before cloning.

The first time I cloned the drive i used these settings:

device to device beginer disk to local disk Chose my source and target Skip disk checking -k0 use source partition table

Then I tried these settings:

device to device expert disk to local disk Chose my source and target Left everything as default -k1 Create partition table proportionally

I also plan on partitioning half of the drive so that I can dual boot linux as Window 10 is reaching eol and I don’t want anything to do with Windows 11 and I still need Windows for gaming.

    There’s lots of variables here including your expertise level with tech. I would suggest doing it again, sometimes clones don’t work and a second clone could.

    Also I assume that that the new drive works with a fresh install (excluding intel RST shenanigans) and that you tested this?

    Also when you go into automatic repair what options does it suggest? I’ve had many clone go weird and yet booting once in safe mode with just a reboot in safe mode fixes it.

    Also if I might why Clonezilla rather than a windows aware cloner like Acronis? Also did you have both drives in the motherboard when you clone or were you using a USB adapter?
