Yes, I have just started recording the first DVD+R disc. I'm using the Lenovo tool called "Create Recovery Media". It did not tell me how many discs it's going to take. The first disc just finished. It was the boot disc. Data disc1 recording now. On Oct 4, 2014 10:33 AM, "Andre Rodovalho" wrote:

That's plenty of room! I've watched this thread with interest, but I've always been advised to make windows resize it's own stuff. Glad that patience is paying off! Do let me know how many primary partitions you have free Regards, Phill. On 4 October 2014 16:58, "J. Van Brimmer" wrote: > Well

Well, I just completed a Disk Cleanup and that removed over 1 Gb of files. Tjen I reran the Shrink Volume process. This time it allowed C to shrink down to 113 Gb. Hallelujah, I'm almost there! I'm going to another defrag/clean up, then try again. If nothing gives this time, I'll probably just lea

Sadly, Clonezilla does not yet support burning directly to (or restoring from) multiple DVD's. You seem to be well aware of that in the backup part of your plan. As I recall, to restore you would have to copy all those images from the DVD's to a single collection on a hard drive, network shar

A nice compendium, Art. But on your final point about the hidden repair partition: I think it is usual for that process to rely on a prescribed boot manager. Lubuntu's installation of the grub boot manager should preserve the repair partition, but I'm not confident that it will reliably prese

Jerry, I have always preferred to err on the side of caution by 1) leaving Windows on there (I paid for it and it's handy to update bios and independently test of hardware issues) and 2) using Windows disk manager to shrink the volume. It can take an hour or two longer to work through the process
