Solution Resolve the conflict observed by clonezilla, by removing one of the entries (gpt). To do this, access the command line terminal of clonezilla. Use the following command to delete the gpt.
sudo gdisk /dev/sda
- (Press 1 to select MBR)
- Press 'x' and enter to reach the eXpert mode
- Now press 'z' to delete the gpt
1.1. At this step be careful, you will get an option to blank out your MBR, do NOT do it. - Press Ctrl + C when ever you need to exit from gdisk.
Possible Cause When Windows gets installed in SSD, it creates a GPT. In my system the GPT was blank. Now when, clonezilla finds that MBR has the pariotion structure whereas GPT is blank, it throws an error. So, when the GPT is deleted, there is no more conflict.
Note Before performing this, please take a backup of your data, so that even if you accidentally delete the correct partition format, you can still retrieve your data.
