Hi All,
I am going to clone (Clonezilla) a Windows gpt
mechanical drive to a smaller SSD drive. I am
going into gparted (FEdora Xfce Live 36) and
resizing the large partition (sda3, C:) so it
will fit on the new ssd drive.
Question: there is a tiny sda4 hanging out there,
which is presume is the gpt partition tables. Do
I also need to move sda4 to the end of sda3 or
is it okay to just leave it at the end of the
disk?
Think you need more info..
I would suggest booting from a fedora livecd or usb and run.
sfdisk -l /dev/sda and see what it reports about partitions.
My notebook here was originally on a regular disk, but upgraded it to an
sdd drive of the same size just using clone option of my G4L project.
Then used gparted to reduce size of C: partition.
Sometimes windows machines have other partitions, that contain restore
partitions or partitions with programs they add..

Partition table entries are not in disk order.
Recently had a user that had a windows disk with 4 primary partition,
but the only was tiny 100M and had a couple of programs dated back to
2015.. Seemed some kind of update utilities. Copied files to C:
partition, and then removed that partition. Was then able to install
Fedora after resizing the C: partiton.
Awesome command! Thank you!
Look like is "Windows recovery environment"
