I'm afraid that file system shrinking is not supported for Linux EXT formatted partitions. I haven't tried booting the Windows box to its Rescue Media, but I haven't seen it mentioned in the docs that this might be necessary either. I'm trying to do this on a Windows 10 system with both the source and destination drives connected via USB-to-SATA adapters. The "Cloned Partition Properties" always remain grayed out. I've tried nearly very other variation I can think of. I'm unable to drag partition 1 to the destination - the pointer changes to a slashed circle. My intended destination drive is a 120 GB SSD with no partitions. #2 is 7.96 GB "Unformatted Logical" of which 7.96 is used. #1 is 224.92 GB "ext Active" of which 6.02 GB is used. My source drive is a 250 GB Linux boot that shows up in Macrium Reflect 7 as an MBR disk with two partitions. Change its size on the destination as desired, then proceed with any remaining partitions.īy cliffordsimmons - 20 February 2018 5:38 PMĪfter reading this I'm still having trouble. Then start dragging your partitions down from the source to destination one at a time, working left to right, but when you get to a partition you want to shrink, drag it down to the destination, click it down there, and select "Cloned partition properties". In the first step of the wizard where you specify the source and destination, select your smaller SSD as the destination. In Reflect, select your source disk and click "Clone this disk". So I'm trying to clone a 1 tb HD to a 500 gb SSD and I can't figure out how to do it! Any help would be appreciated!!!!! By cliffordsimmons - 20 February 2018 4:12 AM
