Comment on How to Clone Hard Drive to Smaller Drive by Merrill Yee

Pablo,
Thank you for letting me know that I need to connect my SSD to the SATA controller directly when using Clonezilla. Since I’m trying to clone my hard drive on my Lenovo T61 notebook to my SSD I believe I have one option: Purchase an ultabay SATA hard drive adapter so I can insert my SSD into the Ultrabay hard drive adapter which is attached to the SATA controller. Do you know if Clonezilla will mount my SSD as the external drive? Thank you again.

Merrill Yee

Hi Terrak
If the BIOS does not detect the drive or shows an incorrect size, then no operating system will. So, do not waste your time.

Hi Merrill
Never use adapters with Conezilla. You need to connect the device directly to the SATA or IDE controller.

I’m trying to clone a larger hard drive to a smaller SSD. I got GParted to work and was able to decrease the amount of free space in the first partition consisting of data and free space. However, when I used Clonezilla and the Kingwin EZ Connect SATA to IDE Adapter for 3.5″ and 2.5″ hard drives, Clonezilla would not mount and show my external SSD. Is there a driver problem with Clonezilla not recognizing the Kingwin EZ Connect SATA to IDE Adapter?
