Clonezilla fails with MBR/GPT mismatch

Posted on by Andy

If anyone is interested, using the command line mode in Clonezilla, I removed the GPT components using gdisk:

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

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

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.

See what GPO is applied to your machine and user

Posted on by Andy

hello,

to see which GPO is apploed to your machine/user, you can use following commands inside the terminal:

  • check your GPO applied for your user:

    # gpresult /scope user /r
  • check the applied GPO for the machine:

    # gpresult /scope computer /r

Please note that you can get an "access denied." message when querying the machine GPO. Use a terminal with elevated rights to do this. E.g. execute the command-line as admin.

To view the applied values in your GUI you can use the tool rsop.msc
