Hello,
After storing drive images on empty NTFS USB drive with Clonezilla I was longer unable to see the content of this drive in Windows 7. The drive itself was visible by system but appear as unformatted one (Windows ask to format it when drive is attached to system).
After "chkdsk /f" the drive seems to be ok again and I can see the drive content. It strange that I was already perform cloning with store images on NTFS USB (but on another one) and all was ok.
Is this a know issue for Clonezilla live ?
How could I check the integrity of stored images ? (I am in doubt if repairing with "chkdsk /f" could damage stored images content ?)
Thanks in advance!
PS. The problem drive is USB 3.0, the another one previously used with no problems was USB 2.0; could it make a difference ?
Both USB 3.0 and 2.0 are supporeted by the Linux kernel on Clonezilla live. Therefore it's not an issue.
I have no idea why the file system won't be read after image file was written. Did you shutdown the machine with normal procedure?
Steven.
