lemme explain. partitions on the 1tb ssd: vfat from the install media being a usb made in rufus, Main, swap. because main has everything on it, and my m.2 is 120gb instead of 1tb, if i understand right, it would clone everything on main thus being too much for the m.2. i know nothing of cloning, having used gparted on laptop but that was for else. so correct me if wrong. @NZgamer
