I have a Linux Mint / Windows 7 dual boot setup that is on a big hard drive that I'd like to use for something else. I have a smaller hard drive that will fit everything with room to spare.
Currently the smaller hard drive is connected via external usb to the laptop.
Is there a way to clone the entire drive, partitions and all, to the smaller drive so I can just swap them and get back up and running with no fuss (ie. GRUB)?
Answer
1-Clone linux partitions first with clonezilla, if still bigger then your hard drive check the option "-icds" :
2-resize it with gparted to make space to win 7.
4-clone win 7 partition.
3-if you get boot problems do update to grub :

ps:
