Clonezilla For Windows 10
Rebbeca Schulke
So I have been trying to fix my desktop these last couple of days, but I have yet to succeed, so now I'm going to ask you.Computer specs:Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3CPU: Intel Core i5 - 2500KPower supply: Corsair TX650WGraphics-card:...
I have a clonezilla server at home which works great but I get this issue if I forget to run sysprep before I upload the image. It is deff a pain in the butt but if time is not an issue just run sysprep and re-upload it and then you should be good to go
Decided to create a new disk image before installing drivers and whatnot. Used the "savedisk" option with default settings as usual, and everything seemed to work fine (saved image checked OK). I did, however, use a newer version of Clonezilla that I had not tested before: clonezilla-live-20200302-eoan-amd64. This appears to have been a mistake.
sorry to hear about this, my experience with clonezilla has been not so great in terms of user friendliness, but in the end I have always had success restoring my backups. Something that may work to fix your boot is:
-repair-cd/home/Home/
Let us know if you changed anything in your setup to try to understand why restoring didn't work. You seem to imply there is a problem with the version of clonezilla you used, do you have any evidence of this version being buggy or is it just a guess?
I don't have any direct evidence that Clonezilla was the culprit, but this seems pretty likely. I have successfully saved and restored disk images for this machine before using an older version of Clonezilla. None of the following has changed:
I found some reports on the Clonezilla forums of similar problems, but those were all quite old (circa 2010). Probably not too many people saving and restoring Windows XP images these days, so it's possible a regression crept in recently.
If I want to send it to a remote host, I use nc to pipe it to the remote host. Granted, I have many linux machines, so i prefer to use that, however I've successfully backed up and restored both Windows and Linux installs that way.
Yes there are other good ways to image an HD. for the error: I would have tried Bootpart from the maker of Winimage, it has properly restored the MBR on many a NT, Win2k, XP install for me even when the restore console cannot. As for: boot-repair-cd I would prefer to know what is in that. There is no manual, no readme.txt, no screen shots, no anything other than "A rescue disk that includes the Boot Repair tool" description. Glad it worked for you but will stick with the known good tools that have used before.
Thanks for the tip about Bootpart, looks pretty handy indeed. For MBR fixing this may have been a better choice, at least faster and easier. boot-repair is a beast, it can repair pretty complex setups with dual-boot, secure boot, etc. Perhaps an overkill solution in this setting, I agree ?
just fyi, the latest edition of macrium reflect free edition still works perfectly on xp.
no need to boot to live cd.
creates perfect images while xp is running and adds recovery option to xp boot menu.
I've had the same issue, cloning an XP installation to another HD an not booting. Using AOMEI booted from a flash drive worked. Strangely, I found a file on my computer, "ampe.iso" inside an old AOMEI installation folder. After using RUFUS to press this ampe.iso onto a usb flash and booting from said flash, I successfully transfered a WinXP a functional partition. Unfortunately, AOMEI is now charging money so this WinPE standalone AOMEI doesn't seem to be available for free. Although I did not try it, I know AOMEI is on my Hirens BootCD PE version.
Had the same problem. Win 10 system on C: partition and bootloader (with BCD) on a 'System Reserved' partition (without a letter assigned). I've cloned both of these partitions with Clonezilla (partition to partition clone, not disk clone) to a new disk and then faced the same issue as OP when trying to boot from the clone.
This reported it found my system in D: (I assumed it means that it found the bootloader since the system is C:, furthermore D is the logical followup letter to be assigned to the partition with the bootloader, since my disk has 2 partitions only atm)then lastly I ran
In my case I fixed it by removing all drives except the cloned hard drive, booted from the Windows installation USB, and opened command prompt. Then I used bcdboot.exe c:\windows. I was then able to boot into Windows.
Yes, you can damage your drive while the image is being made, reason being that your hard drive is going to be used while the image is created. There's no way to prevent this, you can't read a hard drive without reading it. However it will not write over your data.
I'd suggest that if you're worried about the disk being damaged during the copy process because of how valuable it is then this worry would apply to using the disk any other way. You have to be careful, obviously, but something that's too valuable to risk using at all might as well already be broken; either way you're not getting anything from it are you?
I'd mount the disk in a caddy and plug the caddy into a more modern system for the copy to improve your chances, but that's about all I'd do. That'll both ensure that clonezilla can run on hardware its happy with, give it somewhere to store the image and minimise the risk of problems with the source disk being caused by the rest of the hardware.
attention sous linux pour ecrire les prtitions ntfs il faut absoluement charger le paquet ntfs-3g pour ecrire dedans. Pour uniquement les lire il faut monter les partitions en ntfs lire et ecrire les partitions fat32 il faut monter en vfat. genralement pour manipuler les partitions windows on utilise windows et celles sous linux sous linux.
(Translated by Google Translate: Beware under Linux, to write NTFS Partitions it is absolutely necessary to load the package ntfs-3g to write to them. To only read them, it is necessary to mount the partitions in ntfs to read and write to fat32 it is necessary to mount in vfat. Generally to handle the windows partitions one uses windows and those under linux under linux.
The usb device should be on an NTFS format. Change your USB format from FAT32 to NTFS format and then you can now drag the folder or file that you wanted to transfer on your NTFS format Flash drive. Thats just it.
Clonezilla is in my view as good as, if not better than, the closed source competition and is highly regarded by IT professionals. I use Clonezilla regularly to image PCs before doing a distribution upgrade and I image both Linux and Windows partitions. I also use it for backing up hard disk and for migrating data between disks. For the latter I use Clonezilla along with GParted Live to resize partitions after the cloned image is restored to a new (larger) hard disk.
This has the advantage that the clients can PXE boot off the Clonezilla server and the image is broadcast to multiple PCs but at the same bandwidth as cloning just one PC. Furthermore, you can still use the clonezilla images with the Live Clonezilla boot CD.
Thank you for this post. It really helped me setup my FreeNAS server. However, I am having an issue doing cloning using Clonezilla. I am using FreeNAS 8. I have desktop machines that need to cloned for backup purposes. I was able to come to second to the last image without any problem. So here is how I have come to that point. it started to give me home/parimag/ mount point not found issue. so I turned on CIFS and that let me share folders, created /mnt/Volume-1 sharing under windows section and also I created home/partimag/ manually in windows share section. Now after doing the cloning seem to work fine for the bios partition, but for the rest of the partition it gives me a message CIFS VFS: NO response to cmd mid 2246 and on the subsistent lines I can see it is not writing.
Hello. Is it possible to restore the same image, from a nfs or samba share, to multiple boxes at the same time? I have try clonezilla server for this purpose but always have problems because the image is of a dual-boot win/linux box.
Do you mean going around with an external drive, restoring one by one? No. I was thinking about doing some 10 copies of the live CD then booting them almost at the same time and they would restore the image from the share almost simultaneously.
Magnificent beat ! I wish to apprentice at the same time as you amend your website, how can i subscribe for a blog website? The account aided me a applicable deal. I were tiny bit familiar of this your broadcast provided brilliant clear idea
i run a clonzilla server with a single wdblack 3tb drive and i get about 5.75 gb/ min transfer rate. Lesser hard drives got about 3.5. Uploading an image is slower since there is compression taking place.
Hello my name is Andre, I have a multiple folder present on NAS Qnap. Currently i have a litle menu on usb pen boot. This menu have a five submenu LABEL where i do forward the image for the their folder that i want. But I need a menu more automatic i want a five submenu whit a global variable and when i select a folder where i want to save a image replace in code
