Can a corrupt image be repaired?

I tried to restore a Linux OS image after problems with the hard disk. However, I'm not able to run the process in Clonezilla. I have done this before, with this image, but something has gone wrong with it and I get an error message that says Clonezilla cannot find sdb2. Is there any process I can go through to try to rescue the image? Thanks for your input.

You might want to try different Clonezilla Live versions just to rule out any bug in the version you are currently using. Sounds like Clonezilla couldn't partition your new disk correctly. Is the new disk the same type/model as the old one?

Just to make sure the image itself is correct. Right before restoring the image you get the option to check it. Have you done that? Does the check produce any error?

I just encountered the same issue (I think). I tried to restore an image on a nvme device and got a message to check if the nvme0n1p1 partition exists (or something similar like that). I solved this by booting my client with a WinPE bootable USB stick and cleaning the entire disk with diskpart as follows:

list disk (to check which disk is what)
select disk 0 (number might be different in your case, see output of the list disk command)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign letter=c
exit

After that I could restore the image without a problem. Not sure if it is really necessary to create a new partition in diskpart, though. My guess is that the disk contained some disk partitioning Clonezilla couldn't handle.
