I have a hard disk with 3 partitions on it. (one Linux-swap and two Ext3)
The drive is a 2TB USB drive, and I would need to clone it onto a 16GB USB flash drive.
The first two partitions are small (about 2GB in total), the third is as big as the rest of the remaining drive, but is empty.
I’d need to copy over the two smaller partitions as they are to the USB flash drive, and the third one as big as it can get on the drive.
My thought was to connect the 2TB drive to the computer and use GParted to reduce the size of the huge partition to about 1GB.
Then make an image with Win32 Disk Imager and flash it to the thumb drive. Then as last step use GParted to increase the size of the third partition.
But before I procede, I’d need to be sure that this is the best way to do it and that I do not risk to lose the data.
