Hi,
I'm trying to convert a vdi to physical using clonezilla. I have a macbook 3,1 and I have created an image with clonezilla and I want to boot with the livecd and restore the image to my bootcamp partition (already formatted to ext4).
I'm running into the following issue. I know that the image is valid because I have restored it to a new VM. I did some googling and I have a feeling the issue may be related to the partition? When I made the image it was sda1 and I'm trying to restore to sda4.. is this an issue? How can I fix it? If this isn't the issue, what is?
I can't post the error code because I'm using a liveCD and can't save anything…
it says "failed to restore partition image file /home/partimg/imgname/sda4* to /dev/sda4! Maybe the image is corrupt or there is no /homepartimg/imgname"
Thanks in advance for help
I'm using clonezilla maverick…
and here is the command I'm running:
/opt/drb1/sbin/ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -k -p true restoreparts imgname sda4
finally here is the output from the bug report file:

RIDICULOUS!!!
I can't restore sda1 to sda4 without changing the name of the image file???
I cannot believe this is not a default option, or at least a warning provided during the GUI steps, or at least a more descriptive error message??? WHY even make an image specific to a partition??
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS HOW MUCH TIME I WASTED TO FIGURE THIS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for anyone else who runs into this issue, the answer is BURIED here:
http://www.drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq#102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq
I wouldn't wish the past several hours of google searching on my worst enemy!!
Yes, it's ridiculous…
Therefore we have added a prompt in Clonezilla live 1.2.6-49 or 20101207-maverick about this. Thanks for pointing this issue.
We will try to make it easier in the future release.
Steven.
