+==== Create the Too Large Image ====
-  - Use a USB drive that is large enough to hold your Restore image.  Typically the image will be a little over half as large as the used space on the drive.
+  *  On PC with too large of drive, open Disk Management in Windows 10/8/7. If you are running Linux system, you can boot your computer from GParted media.
-  - Format the USB drive using FAT32 ALL DATA ON THE DRIVE WILL BE ERASED!!!
+  * Right click the source partition and click “Shrink Volume” and follow the wizard to shrink the partition.
-  - Run the downloaded Tuxboot utility
+  * Shrink the partition to something substantially smaller than you think you need
+  * Reboot to CloneZilla

+==== Restore to Smaller Drive ====
-  - Click the Update button
+  * Boot to CloneZilla with smaller drive
-  - Make sure "Pre Downloaded" is NOT checked
+  * Choose working with images
-  - Make Type USB Drive and your USB Drive should be auto detected and in the "Drive" field.
+  * Choose Advanced
-  - Click OK.  The image will be downloaded (about 145MB) and written to your USB Drive.
+  * Choose Restore image
-  - On the PC you want to create a restore image of boot to the CloneZilla USB Drive.
+  * Select image to restore
-  - Choose "Other Modes..." -> "To RAM..." -> Leave on defaults until choosing a repository.
+  * In advanced options tick icds. This disables checking destination disk size
-  - Choose sdb1, hit Enter -> Leave on "/Top_" -> Leave on "Beginner mode..."
+  * Continue with the wizard leaving the default options
-  - Choose "Savedisk..." -> name image appropriately -> choose drive to be imaged.
+  * After imaged on the small drive expand the partition to use entire drive
-:!: This will save the image to the root of the USB Drive
+<note tip> I suggest after successfully creating the smaller drive image re-save to avoid it being necessary to  go through this procedure again.
