    Generic_Flash_Disk on HD


    I am duel booting W10 and Ubuntu 20.04 on all my computers all updated and current. I have just discovered that I can not clone my HD's because of a separate partition called Generic_Flash_Disk of 960mib. Gparted show this is on all my HD's. It shows sda which is W10 and sdb which is Linux. Then it shows a separate sdc of 960mib. How do I get this off of my HD's?

    Thanks for any reply's.

    :)

    Cannot Format HD


    Need to initialize it as GPT disk type with HD > 2TB:
    From Admin command prompt:
    1. diskpart
    2. list disk =====> Take a note of disk # for the 4TB HD
    3. select disk # ====> From step 2
    4. clean
    5. exit
    Open Disk Management and initialize the disk as GPT, create simple then format.

    Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


    In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
    I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.
    1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
    2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
    3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination

    4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
    5. Boot up with your new HD.
