Rép. : Re: [K12OSN] Disk image

[Edward Holcroft]

Correct, it's sata. Anyway I tried renaming the hda references in the 
image files to sda and it very nearly worked. Clonezilla freezes up at 
almost 100% completion.

I may well end up doing a fresh install, but want to give the image 
transfer approach a shot just to satisfy my curiosity.

Found this: 
http://clonezilla-sysresccd.hellug.gr/reloc-img.html#reloc-img-restore-disk

... but it's not working as advertised, yet.
