Hi guys, Clonezilla is failing to create an image of any laptop or desktop that has a new 7th generation Intel processor. Any ideas? It works on anything else I throw at it. It appears to be an issue with how the partitions are setup on these new systems. Thanks.

Not sure what the processor has to do with the partitions....

 

Only thing I see is this and it's related to graphics card, so appears different that your issue.

Have you tried fresh format and reinstall using one format.  GPT or MBR.

The part where I get the error is the very last step before it grabs the image. The user in the graphics thread wasn't even able to boot to clonezilla. The partition error just happens to only appear on systems with the newer processors. I have tried an newly formatted hard drive and the error is the same. Somehow Clonezilla reads MBR and GPT and it gets messed up. Very odd issue. Thanks for the reply.

We disable UEFI and use Legacy boot for all our imaging right now.  I want to start using UEFI, but haven't had time to work on it.  If you disable Secure Boot and UEFI, what happens?

Same thing, you have to disable UEFI just to get into Clonezilla.

Hello,

You might want to try using the amd64 version, as those 7th generation Intel processors and chipsets may be doing something that the compiler used to make those i386/686 builds does not like, at a guess.

      I enjoy using Discover Weekly. I have found new music using it. Just sometimes it goes off the rails and doesn't remember I don't like rap. I'm not sure this update is anything helpful, but I guess I'll try it if it comes to free accounts.

    • Here are all the new features added to Microsoft 365 Copilot in June 2025

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Here are all the new features added to Microsoft 365 Copilot in June 2025 by Usama Jawad Towards the end of each month, Microsoft publishes a roundup of the features that it added to some of its popular software in the previous four weeks. We have already talked about the new capabilities introduced in Excel and Teams during the month of June 2025, and now, it's time to talk about Microsoft 365 Copilot. We'll start off with admin-facing capabilities since there are only a few of them. For starters, the usage metrics for Copilot in the Copilot Analytics tool now have new prompt categories that give more insights as to how users are engaging with Copilot. This feature has just begun rolling out, but another enhancement to the usage metrics that is already available is dedicated statistics for intelligent meeting recaps. Finally, Microsoft 365 admins can now view and manage their inventory of agents and connectors and also have more granular control over costs and billing policies. On the user side of things, we have intelligent assistance in Copilot Chat, powered by ContextIQ. This layer of intelligence can scope prompts to internal (SharePoint, OneDrive) and external data sources, find files in the chat, and proactively offer relevant suggestions as you type. In the same vein, the Copilot mobile app is being updated so you can talk to the AI in a natural manner using your voice. In addition, users can also get access to deep reasoning agents such as Researcher and Analyst for more complex and research-oriented needs. The Create experience in the app is also being updated with the ability to generate stories and branded templates. Other interesting Copilot capabilities rolling out to Edge customers are the ability to prompt the AI through the search bar, access agents from within the browser, and take advantage of Copilot's impressive text summarization capabilities. That's not all though, other features in tow include: Enhancements to Copilot in Outlook: Schedule meetings through Copilot chat, summarization of email attachments, a new sidebar experience in the classic Outlook app, meeting preparation, and automated meeting invite creation Improved image generation and large file handling in Copilot Chat: More photorealistic image generation with better text depiction, ability to generate longer summaries from bigger files, and PDF scanning capabilities for insights Memory in Copilot: Copilot will now remember certain items from your conversation and you can modify or delete them Transferred calls summary with Copilot in Teams Phone: Generate a summary of a call and transfer it to a target New file extension for Copilot Pages: Copilot Pages will now have .page extension with an updated file icon Copilot Notebooks availability in OneNote: We already covered this in detail here Seamlessly add brand-approved images with Copilot in PowerPoint: Integration of Copilot with SharePoint Organization Asset Library (OAL) and Templafy asset libraries Explain formulas on the grid with Copilot in Excel: Self-explanatory, exactly what it says on the tin Expanded availability for the Microsoft 365 Copilot app: Availability of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Mac You can read more details about each of the aforementioned features here.

    • OneNote for Windows gets support for Dynamic DPI

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      OneNote for Windows gets support for Dynamic DPI by Usama Jawad OneNote for Windows (part of Microsoft 365) is a pretty useful app if you're actively engaged in note-taking activities and also appreciate some rich text formatting capabilities. In fact, it also offers some decent integrations with Copilot, which make it an important piece of software in productivity-based environments. Now, Microsoft has introduced a feature that will likely make people with multi-monitor setups very happy. The OneNote for Windows application now supports Dynamic DPI (dots per inch). What this means is that you can use OneNote across any screen and it will scale according to the display's resolution, and you won't get a disconcerting and distracting blurring effect. You can extend your display to a high-resolution monitor and shift OneNote across displays without a hitch or any distraction. This is similar to the UX that is already present in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This Dynamic DPI support not only extends to the main text area but also to the section tabs, the Notebooks pane, drop-down menus, and Copilot Notebooks. All of these should look crisp and polished moving forward, without any manual adjustment or even an app restart required from the user's side. Microsoft has highlighted that it was encouraged to work on this capability after receiving user feedback from customers in this area. Dynamic DPI is now available to Current Channel (CC) customers on OneNote for Windows, running Version 2504 (Build 16.0.18827.20042) or later. That's not all, though. Another smaller enhancement present in OneNote moving forward is a revamped setup experience when you launch OneNote on a new Windows device for the first time. You will now receive a list of your five most recently used (MRU) notebooks that will open instantaneusly with a click. If you have more than five notebooks, you can pick and choose the files that you want to open. That said, Microsoft is looking to expand and improve on this experience in the future since it is fairly limited right now.
