mount or unmount before trying to clone?

Post by laurel »

I have been trying to clone a drive to a formatted NTFS(all my mostly xp disk allows in the partition)
it kept trying to transfer to what i gather was the wifi or ethernet card
when i said no it then seemed to find the external which was on n humming so was connecting at least
It then said it was waiting for the remote computer to respond?
its an external drive hooked in
clonezilla running from usb and on RAM as per instruction vid said
sooo? is part of my problem i need to do something to the linux partitions first?
rank newbie;-(
