Macrium reflect clone ignore bad sectors11/14/2022 ![]() ![]()
I've always had mixed results when cloning larger to smaller with CloneZilla. Listing volumes and partitions shows nothing larger than the MB recovery and EFI volumes. #MACRIUM REFLECT CLONE IGNORE BAD SECTORS WINDOWS#However, when I try to boot to diskpart in windows recovery command prompt to reassign C: to the new partition, it's magically missing. I then go and check the partitions to see if they are visible in the partition editor in Parted magic and I can see it fine. Since then, I was able to get the sda3 partition to clone then by going part->part and selecting an unformatted part of the target disk. I was finally able to get a drive to clone yesterday, my issue is that sda3 would fail to clone because of a read error, I would get about 49GB of the 80-ishGB partition. I've noticed that when selecting "icds" to clone the 500GB->250GB drive, if you don't specifically choose "Automatically resize partition on target drive" before starting the clone, Clonezilla will ignore the icds flag and error with a "Source size exceeds target size" or something similar. Particularly "icds" to ignore the drive size of the target drive and "rescue" to continue reading past bad block errors. #MACRIUM REFLECT CLONE IGNORE BAD SECTORS OFFLINE#My problem comes when the drives are sitting around 5k offline unrecoverable errors and I need to go from a 500GB SSD -> 250GB SSD.Ĭlonezilla has a bunch of flags that you can toggle to fix issues in the Expert Mode. Every once in a while, I do need to go into diskpart and rebuild the mbr, but otherwise it's a great solution and it's been running. ![]() Please excuse any missteps, still learning this area of IT.Ĭlonezilla has been able to clone even the worst drives over as long as I'm doing a beginner disk->disk clone and the drives are the same size. I will preface that I am new to working at this level with disk partitions. I started this week by cloning whatever drives that I can over to new Samsung 870 Evo drives and I've run into some interesting issues with Clonezilla and was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on the problem. We've caught this kind of early, things are still bad, but not unrecoverable. We've found that nearly 80% of the $14k of drives that we installed a year ago have failed, are failing, or are presenting early symptoms. I made a post previously about our company having issues with SK Hynix Gold P31 drives. ![]()
