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.
