Quote:I think I need to make a much smaller partition on the HDD for linux lite (the total size on the SDHC is only about 26GB including data and lots of additional apps). So if I create a 32GB partition on the HDD, that will allow me to create clones from HDD back to SDHC. Does that sound feasible?Yes, that's sounds feasible. To be on the safe side you could make your partition on the HDD a bit smaller than your destination drive: maybe 30 or 31GB. It may well work with 32GB - perhaps I'm just being over-cautious ...
