I have 2 x identical Lenovo IdeaPads each 160Gb storage. I have downloaded and burned the CD iso of Clonezilla.

Why are you using clonezilla?
dd will copy the entire 160GB, whether it is useful data or not. clonezilla will copy only the in-use disk space (and the partition table). this can result in significant time savings, esp. if the source disk is mostly empty. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
