clonezilla

cloning in progress

Lovely bit of software used to clone a 1Gb dual boot windows/kubuntu UEFI mechanical HDD onto a new 1Gb SSD.

First, disable secure boot so you can boot the clonezilla iso you burned onto a usb stick, then boot from it.

Then, taking all the defaults, choose device to device copy. This Lenovo g50 had the source hdd as sda and the target -a €70 KingSpec SSD in an €8 reusable case- sdc. 

With the sdd connected to a usb2 port it took around 40 minutes, start to finish. 

progress: the 5th. partition was where windows was installed

All that's left then is to remove the old hdd and preplace it with the new sdd. Don't forget to change back to secure boot.

take careful note of mounting rails and screw positions

the new disk -now sda- installed
instant startup and much easier to use
