I just tried the latest unstable of Clonezilla and boot of a usb stick just in case. Still no joy the best I can do for a log is the attached image of 'mount' which IMHO shows nothing.

BTW I am using a live boot so logs may be a tad difficult the clonezilla version im using is clonezilla-live-20200302-eoan-amd64.iso

HI thanks for concise reply. My lappy is a Lenovo thinkpad, the offender is this: ASUS Vivobook S15 S530FN-EJ575T Entertainment Ultrabook 15.6" FHD Anti-Glare Intel i7-8565U 16GB 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2...

That sorted it thanks, very odd as other players did not show the same tearing.

Hi there Fu. Thanks for suggestion. I was under the impression that ntfs-3g allowed keeping most of the permissions and link that ext can do.
