Clonezilla troubles

[dirtychinchilla]

Hey guys,

I'm running Windows 7, but seeing as Clonezilla uses Debian I thought this would be the best place to ask a question.

Basically, I've got two hard drives, one is 120GB and the other is 60GB. I'm trying to clone what's on my 120GB SSD (about 40GB of Windows and programs) to the 60GB drive but I get an error while using Clonezilla that the destination HD is smaller than the source. Now, the actual amount of data being copied over is smaller. A brief Google looking at things I really don't understand is that this may be a limitation of Clonezilla and I may just be able to do nothing. However, any advice would be appreciated.

Otherwise, a Windows question, is there a way to produce a disk image of the data on my 120GB hd and then put that onto the 60GB one so that it'll just run, as opposed to reinstalling Windows.

Thanks in advance,
dirtychinchilla

Oh right, well what you're saying is what I expected to be honest. That's a shame though. Frankly, I am incredibly inexperienced with Linux and therefore anything remotely difficult is likely to be beyond me if there are variables involved! But I'd appreciate any help, thanks

That's fantastic dude, I'll certainly be giving it a go, cheers! Am I right in saying that this requires 2 discs or usbs?

Well...I got fed up with it when I realised that I'd have to do more hd switching as my spare doesn't have enough space on it. i'll just do another reinstall of Windows I think.

Thanks for your help anyway! Hopefully other people will find this useful.
