Can't Create SSD HDD Backup using Clonezilla (Hiren)

Issue :

Having an issue when trying to create a SSD hdd backup using clonezilla. Its says that : "This disk contains mismatched GPT and MBR partition: /dev/sda"


Solution: 




Before you start backup your SSD hard drive, you need to perform this command prompt in hiren to allow you backup. Please follow this step :

# sudo gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.7.2

Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use?
1 - MBR
2 - GPT
3 - Create blank GPT

Your answer: 1
Command (? for help): X

Expert command (? for help): Z
About to wipe out GPT on /dev/sda. Proceed? (Y/N): Y
GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
other utilities.
Blank out MBR? (Y/N): N <--- do NOT choose Y!
MBR is unchanged. You may need to delete an EFI GPT (0xEE) partition
with fdisk or another tool.

All working now and Clonezilla runs without errors. If you have the same problem, you can try this solution.

I found this solution in this FORUM and it's really works for me.

Ghost Error 2.1: The following drives were not unmounted cleanly 2.1

Issue :

I have a problem when I try to do image using Norton Ghost. It says " The following drive were not unmounted cleanly 2.1". I search for answer in google and I found this link : http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH127683

I've tried their solution and it's work for me.


Solution : 





Open command prompt (cmd) and run chkdsk /f for your drive. in this case, my drive letter is F which is my external hard disk. By default when I open the command prompt the drive is C: . So you have to change drive that you want to fix.

Sometimes, after you type chkdsk /f, it will says "chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is disamounted first. All OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? <Y/N>

Just type Y and press Enter from your keyboard and wait until the process done.

Please see the picture below.

Now, you may try to use the drive again.
