I have a Clonezilla disk image I created last year, but when I tried restoring the image I got:
Error! No existing partition(s) or no unmounted partition(s) are found! To use Clonezilla to save or clone a partition, the source partition must exist or be unmounted! If you are sure the partition exists in this machine, maybe the kernel is too old?
Using the check option it says it's restorable.
I have newer hardware and bigger hard drive.
Please help. What version should I use to restore my old image?
Thank you!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Is there a way to identify which Clonezilla live version was used in creating of the disk image? I see info-packages.txt but it does not have the version to Clonezilla live.
The file has: drbl-2.3.16-drbl1 clonezilla-3.3.18-drbl1 mkswap-uuid-0.1.1-1drbl partclone-0.2.59.drbl2 drbl-chntpw-20110511-1drbl
Please help. Thanks!

"There are not 3 (or so) partitions on the new disk for the 'restore'.
The new partitions should be equal or greater than the old one.
Look for the 'blkdev.list' in your image.
You can make it e.g. with 'gparted live'."

@Tony,
The image is compatible. Your issue looks like it's because there is no partition table on the destination disk. Did you use "restoreparts" to restore the image? If so, as Fuchs mentioned, you have to create the partitions on the destination first.
If the image was saved by "savedisk", you can use "restoredisk" to restore the image. It will create the partition table on the destination disk in the beginning of restoring.
