Hi,
Hopefully someone can help and point me in the right direction, my boot drive which was all that was spare when I built this is a 320gb drive, it is now failing, if I have to restart my nas box it can take 40 attempts to boot it as the drive struggle to spin up, I need to clone this off, here in lies the problem I was hoping to put this on a smaller drive, when I login to the nas I can see that only 20gb is being used, but I cant shrink the partition in gparted (unrecognized filesystem), I can browse the drive perfectly well on the local machine and it shows 280gig free, if I try and clone the cloning software sees all the drive being used so wont clone to a smaller drive, please help before this all goes t1ts up
Thanks
