![]() ![]() ![]() This was succesful, however this kills the GRUB boot partition and indeed the system does not boot after conversion. I have opened the disk with gdisk and ran the conversion to GPT. With this in place, the question then changes to converting the MBR to GPT on the OS/boot volume (yes I am booting into the system that I am working with, data loss is not a problem since I can just restore from image if something breaks, which is has many times so far in my trials) So it seems Clonezilla actually allows the process to continue, however it will write everything as-is to MBR and the disk will be seen as 2TB. Experimentation is fine as I have nothing to lose on the drive. NOTE: This drive is blank, therefore I have no concern over data loss. I'm going to try cloning the master machine using Macrium reflect and restoring, hopefully it can migrate the partition structure automatically. I understand "what" the problem is but I do not know the steps to resolve. You have to use GUID partition table format (GPT)" The exact error that Clonezilla states is "Error: Destination disk size is 4.00TB, which is larger than the MBR partition table entry maximum 2TiB. I have used this image many times before on other disks, however due to MBR restrictions on this larger drive, it needs to be GPT so I cannot restore the disk image. ![]() This is specifically Linux and I am trying to restore a Clonezilla image to a 4TB hard drive. I see this similar question was asked before, however it was either not answered or it pertained 100% to Windows workarounds.
