I made a backup of my disk hdb
The disk was broken, so I change it, but the new one is called hdf (I don't know why, because this disk is also primary slave).

Clonezilla can't restore the image because they look for hdb that doesn't exist anymore.

How can I force clonezilla to restore di hdf?

Or, how can I change my disk from hdf to hdb?

Thanks a lot for your help.

  Some solutions:
  1. Try testiing clonezilla live 1.1.0-2 here:
  http://free.nchc.org.tw/clonezilla-live/testing/
  ///NOTE/// Since this is in testing, some bugs are expected.
  
  2. Use this command to convert your image:

  Thanks.
  The comand cnvt-ocs-dev works.

Hello,

I'm new here and I struggle a bit.
I backed up my bootcamp partition sda3 fine with Clonezilla.
I now try to install it in another PC as sdc1.
I successfully changed the sda3 to sdc1 references in the file names.
Now I struggle using cnvt-ocs-dev because at the command prompt I keep getting a "you need to run the script as root".

So try "login root" -> not working
I try "su root" with no passwd and I get "authentication failure"
So I try "su cnvt-ocs-dev -d /home/partimag hello sda sdc" and I get an error "su: invalid option -d".

I can't make that work under root.

Thanx a lot for your help as I'm not good at linux and don't know any other way.

Reg,

Nicolas

As described here:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php#Accounts
You can run "sudo su -" to become root.

Steven.
