Is there a reason you struggle with dislike/don’t get on with live USB’s? I’ll have try clonezilla again, especially with 7 if i’m on a linux machine. it could be this drive is dying but, has a clean SMART report. There are also other factors, the system i just clone wouldn’t clone the bootloader properly (BSOD) just like clonezilla did in the past. Win 10 is a sometimes, it CAN be an MBR style non secure boot but, that’s the exception not the the rule 9 or 8.5 times out of 10 it’s GPT Secure boot. you can even use /F /R /O arguments on a dying drive and it will skip past any complaints or errors it can’t rectify. With ghost you click and go, it does all the volume resizing and work for you. 9.9 times out of time i can count on win 7 being an MBR non secure boot. Indeed 10 is a new ball games, i’ve never had a lick of trouble from ghost despite it’s age with windows 7. Macrium reflect 7 offline installer blogspot free#i’m sure this free stuff has god knows what in it. Macrium reflect 7 offline installer blogspot install#MAN i really need a crappy old USB3/eSata laptop that i can install these cloners and firmware updaters too. anything free and decent that can run on windows? it’s real nice cause if a dying drive is acting up and slowing down the host and casuing hangs, it will slow down the VM and not the actual/box host.Īnd not that borked ass piece of shit clone zilla, i thought i was fan till i saw how broken it can be. Yeah i’ve run vmware player in lubuntu on my linux box (before i fed up the bios and gotto lazy to fix it) and i have run norton ghost from my xp vm a few times. if you have a WD HDD in the system anywhere it will let you clone to and from any drive. and since my windows host has a samsung it tries to clone from the hosts C drive to the new samsung SSD instead of from the old HDD to the new samsung SSD. I personally have two 2.5 inch front bays in my system so I can just put both SSDs in threre and then I just direct attach them to a Hyper-V VM usually running linux and then I just do the gnome disk backup route. Sooooo probably not that free but buying a Samsung SSD is not too unlikely I think. It comes “free” with the purchase of a Samsung SSD. I think I did that once with used the Samsung utility last time I had to clone a system. ![]() You can also mount a network drive and store the image there directly. You will need a third drive to store the image to enable restore later, but if cloning a small drive it’s fine. Select the drive you want to clone and use the hamburger button at the top of the window to create a disk image. ghost also does great with dying drives too. though ghost does quite well with mismatched drives. ![]() Macrium reflect 7 offline installer blogspot windows 8#to be fair ghost 11 fucks up the bootloader but, it’s pre windows 8 let alone windows 10, especially with GPT. hell maybe i could even fix my broken linux tower in my free time.Ĭlone zilla doesn’t play ball with mismatched drive sizes or fucks up the boot loader. I’d be easier to just pop in 2 mismatched drives sizes in the toaster and launch a clone util in windows and watch youtube while it clones or walk away. ![]() i’d rather pop both drive in the toaster and click a few buttons, instead rifling around fora usb dvd or usb drive, reachroung around for a free usb port, rebooting, etc etc PITA. Macrium reflect 7 offline installer blogspot Pc#That’s an assumption! that’s assuming your booting windows of either drive! i merely have windows pc handy when i have to clone a drive. ![]() OP should probably state what the issues with Clonzilla are in the first place. Used it a few times, never had issues with it. Pretty much what Clonezilla does with a sort-of-GUI. Yeah but wouldn´t it be possible to just boot linux from a usb stick.Īnd then still use dd to clone the drives that have windows on them? ![]()
