... Waiting results after reboot ...

If it doesn't work, please give a detailed description of your problem, your system details, GParted version you used.

In any case, don't boot into your operating system with both drives connected to the computer. Connect just one at a time, because the cloned partitions keep the same UUID as the original ones.

Ok. I rebooted, and tried again, two more times
Gparted always jammed in the same place.
So decided that something was wrong with the Gparted disk.
I had tried to do a md5 check but could not right file to do that.

I rememberd I had a LInux resue disk with Gparted on it.
Tried that.

smile It worked like a dream!!!!!!
Wow. In about 5 minutes I had cloned a 500gib hard drive to another one.
Put it in another machine and updated the Grub file and all is well.

I will NEVER use a another way again.

Please send my thanks to everyone that works on Gparted!!

Glad to learn that the problem was just a bad medium or a broken download.
