==== Create the Too Large Image ====

  *  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.
  * Right click the source partition and click “Shrink Volume” and follow the wizard to shrink the partition.
  * Shrink the partition to something substantially smaller than you think you need
  * Reboot to CloneZilla
  * Select working with images
  * Create the image using Beginner

==== Restore to Smaller Drive ====

  * Boot to CloneZilla with smaller drive
  * Choose working with images
  * Choose Advanced
  * Choose Restore image
  * Select image to restore
  * In advanced options tick icds. This disables checking destination disk size
  * Continue with the wizard leaving the default options
  * After imaged on the small drive expand the partition to use entire 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.
