I am new to Linux Mint Debian, so this video was most helpful as I am going to delete Windows at some point and move over to Linux, but at the moment I dual boot with two hard drives. Thank you for the video
I think that's great! No problem with dual booting. I think you will find that with time you will boot less and less into windows and more and more into Linux. At least that's the way it went for me.
Thanks mate, this made it super simple to clone a storage drive (which had some important program installs) that was starting to tick weirdly and was which I was worried would die soon, to a brand new HDD I bought online. Simpler to clone it on a separate system and then switch them out than to copy everything over manually in the same system and probably miss something or have copy fail due to file name length/windows weirdness (that happened to me last time).
@@Superkuh2 I can do it. The boot sector is in it's own partition as well. Just clone the boot sector partition along with the OS partition onto the new HDD and then edit the boot sector to look for the OS on the new c:\ drive.
@@allisterhenderson3380 I guess that works if you have a dedicated boot sector. For traditional master boot record it won't. You'll have to use dd to copy the first ~2MiB of the disk that's not in a partition.
@@Superkuh2 Yep.... or if you don't have a dedicated boot sector partition, you can use something like EasyBCD, which is an easy graphical interface software, where it will write a new MBR for you, pointing to the cloned drive that has the OS.
For example, I have a stand-alone system installed on my Linux computer and I want to clone it and transfer it to a different computer, will my stand-alone system still work without any modifications or setup needed?
One thing you should keep in mind is that the OS might have an issue if the computer you are putting the cloned drive in has very different hardware. I know Windows can be problematic when it comes to this.
I'm getting a transfer rate of 5.5 MB/Min currently the progress says 1516hrs remaining. I have already been going for 7:48:52 with 5120000 Blocks Transfered, with 10000212480 Remaining. I'm moving a 512GB SSD Drive with about 30GB Used to a 1TB SSD Drive. By the progress I'm seeing this will take 63 more days. Should I wait or abort this process and just load a new Distro of Linux onto the SDD and try to manually move the files on the old SDD over. How do I safely stop this process? I assume I need to open a terminal and enter an abort command to safely shut down this process.
Do the source and destination drives have to be similarly sized? What if I am cloning my 1TB drive that's just 200GB full? will a 250GB destination drive suffice?
I know it will be fine if the second drive is larger than the first, but I haven't tried it with a smaller destination drive and don't remember if it goes by drive size or space used but it should tell you if there is going to be a problem.
Just used this with my Dual Bay Fideco USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive docking station. Trying to figure out where I’m at with this suddenly dead laptop with a seemingly functional SSD 🤪😆
hey great video i have a question i installed my manjaro installation on a hdd and that was a terrible idea so i want to move it to my ssd so is it ok if the target so in this case my ssd has more space than the source or should they have the same amount
It should be fine that your target has more space but it might not allocate all of the space so you might have to expand it once you have it up and running.
Did excacly as you did but with 240 gb disk to 1 Tb and guess what. Now I have almost 700 Gb undenfied partition on my new SSD. So this didn't work so well for me. I think I have to install celan distro and move the files and folder between disks to fix that problem.
@@OnlineComputerTips Thanks. I'll try to clone the os on the drive and point Clonezilla to the destination/usb thumb drive and see what happens. When Clonezilla finishes I'll shutdown. Than upon a fresh reboot, go into the BIOS and select the usb thumb drive and see if it boots.
As far as I knAs far as I knew, it should have been easier to clone an entire harddisk, then copy it to the ssd!ew, it should have been easier to clone an entire harddisk, then copy it to the ssd!

Hi sir
If the pc hardwares are differents,is there any problem on the copied drivers,thanks
Thank you Norm Macdonald
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one
LOL THANKS I can't unhear it
I hear it!
Yes! Live on Norm!
Not hearing it, sorry. He sounds more like Andy the Swedish German than like Norm.
As I have yet to try this (tomorrow). I will say Thank You in a big way. Straight to the point and NO Music. Thumbs UP. Again Thank you.
No music, no intro, straight into it with discernable narration. Always a good sign.
You skipped over the really important bit of making a bootable Clonezilla live USB flash drive.
same here i think im going to read the entire documentation for correct instruction otherwise im going to install that from the start
Works well for upgrading to a larger ssd. The new one boots fine then boot Gparted and resize the partition to the larger size

Thank you so much! It was really easy to follow and got running in no time.
Thank you for not conforming to the stupid nonsense of other youtubers, annoying bell subscription idiocy, dumb music and you speak perfect English!
I can't stand videos like that so I make sure I don't do that nonsense in mine!
You can also use Gparted to clone the OS to another hard-drive and resize the partition to suit the new hard-drive.
thanks for the tip
gparted isn't able to clone the drive. It can't copy over the boot sectors. It can clone partitions and resize them though.
@@Superkuh2 I can do it. The boot sector is in it's own partition as well. Just clone the boot sector partition along with the OS partition onto the new HDD and then edit the boot sector to look for the OS on the new c:\ drive.

Thanks, worked perfectly following your guide
Can you use Clonezilla to write a Linux OS onto a M.2 2280 SSD for creating an external hard drive?
Thanks a lot
Will all the files on ubuntu also be cloned to the new drive?
For example, I have a stand-alone system installed on my Linux computer and I want to clone it and transfer it to a different computer, will my stand-alone system still work without any modifications or setup needed?
Cloning the disk will not affect the source drive on the original computer (if done correctly).
@@OnlineComputerTips is it okay if I use a third party app for cloning the drive?
I have used many third party apps to clone drives. Nothing is guaranteed but I have not had any problems with them.
@@OnlineComputerTips thanks man! Will give you an update once I’ve successfully cloned my drive.
One thing you should keep in mind is that the OS might have an issue if the computer you are putting the cloned drive in has very different hardware. I know Windows can be problematic when it comes to this.
Can I delete the previous one after cloning so that I am effectively moving my Linux from one drive to another ❤?
If you are able to clone your drive and boot from it then you should be able to remove the original drive without any issues.
hello, so i did this clone over the network and after rebooting into the cloned os I don't have any network adapter shower up. can someone help
Can I clone just the Linux partition instead of the whole disk?
Co ask?
@@katlegomachethe9926 ?
can i use same software to replace cloned data into new Hard? I am using external USB hard disk as data transfer tool.
This should work with the Zorin Distro, right?

It was clearly stated in clonezilla - you can't do that.

does this clonezila also do a kind of sysprep (in windows) stuff to neutralize the system before making the image?
There's always the keyboard question in LINUX. why not just make the change optional at boot. You never know what linux disro has what keyboard
With this work to clone ssd with pre existing dual boot partitions (windows and Ubuntu) ??
It should since its making an exact copy.
@@OnlineComputerTips thanks for your response. I'll try this soon.
has anyone tried this on a raid 0 setup yet with multiple drives? Save me some testing time, just wondering if its possible with this software.
hey great video i have a question i installed my manjaro installation on a hdd and that was a terrible idea so i want to move it to my ssd so is it ok if the target so in this case my ssd has more space than the source or should they have the same amount
It should be fine that your target has more space but it might not allocate all of the space so you might have to expand it once you have it up and running.
Do you have to unmount your destination drive on linux before cloning, thx guys
Did excacly as you did but with 240 gb disk to 1 Tb and guess what. Now I have almost 700 Gb undenfied partition on my new SSD.
So this didn't work so well for me.
I think I have to install celan distro and move the files and folder between disks to fix that problem.
you can extend or shrink partitions after with other tools
Use GParted to expand it
Sweet Vid, However what if i have 2 physical drives of say 60 gb and 60 gb and i wanted to clone both to a 500 gb drive
Partition the 500gb hard drive in half first, then use clonezilla to clone each hard drive to a partition.
Will all the softwares installed in Kali be moved to the new hard drive?
It should since its an exact clone.
When I tell Clonezilla to clone the HDD of choice will it wipe that drive? And can my destination drive be a usb thumb drive?
It will wipe the destination drive. I have not tried a thumb drive and it would depend if Clonezilla recognized the drive on bootup.
@@OnlineComputerTips Thanks for answering my questions. If I use a usb thumb drive as the destination do you think it could be too risky?
@@catsartpics Im not sure if it would really work but you might also have performance issues. You can always try and see.
@@OnlineComputerTips Thanks. I'll try to clone the os on the drive and point Clonezilla to the destination/usb thumb drive and see what happens. When Clonezilla finishes I'll shutdown. Than upon a fresh reboot, go into the BIOS and select the usb thumb drive and see if it boots.
@@catsartpics did it work out on the thumb drive?
How can i enter the clonezilla Menu ?
You need to create the bootable CD or flash drive and then have your computer boot to that media to get into the menu.
It is possible to do a Clone of all partition to other disk in ISO format ?
Not that I know of, at least with Clonezilla.
can i clone my linuxmint in a HDD to a new SSD?
I haven't tried it with Linux Mint but I would assume it would work and it shouldn't matter if you are going from HDD to SSD.
ty so much
skip the key process
