I've been given a thinkpad x40 laptop with the original OS and HD intact. I am in the process of converting it to a CF card drive and would like to clone the installed xp OS and the Fedora 14 OS I have also installed after shrinking and rearranging partitions. Everything is working fine at the moment given the slow 1.8 form factor drive. So my question has to do with the cloned partition size verses the target partition size. If the original partition is 13 GB including free space does the target also need to be 13GB or larger or can I install to a smaller target that is still 20% larger than the actual data/OS? Are the issues different for Fedora/linux in regards to size of target? I have finished running a test clone of the XP partition using the latest clonezilla live utility to an external USB drive. It created a series of image data files that total just under 7 GB. Jim K-R
