I can see that clonezilla sees the /dev/sdb1 partition but says it can't mount it.
It says: "Unable to mount resource as /home/partimag."
"Clonezille image home directory /home/partimag is not a mounting point! Failed to mount other device as /home/partimag!"
I'm new to this. Can some one help. I just want to clone /dev/sda (entire device) to /dev/sdb1 (250GB USB Storage Drive). Is this possible? What do I have to do?
Thanks!

I've tried doing ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /home/partimag but this gives me a message saying:
"Volume is scheduled for check. Please boot into Windows TWICE, us use the force mount option."
I have no idea what this means. I've done a chkdsk on the drive and I can connect it to my windows machine fine. What is the problem?
I follows the instructions on the main page of SourceForge Clonezilla.

1. Run "sudo su -" to become root.
2. You must prepare another writable device or space and mount it as /home/partimag (Note! If your boot media is writable, such as USB flash drive or you choose to use To RAM option, the existing /home/partimag is linked to /live_media/home/partimag, You have to remove that file and create a directory /home/partimag as a mount point by "rm -f /home/partimag; mkdir -p /home/partimag)
Ex. If you want to use Clonezilla to save /dev/hda and put the image in /dev/hdb1, then you have to mount /dev/hdb1 as /home/partimag by "mount -t auto /dev/hdb1 /home/partimag". If the file system of /dev/hdb1 is ntfs, you have to use "ntfs-3g /dev/hdb1 /home/partimag" to mount it so that it's writable..."
I can not get this to work!

The warning message is from ntfs-3g, you can check ntfs-3g website for more info.
BTW, did you run "chkdsk /f" then reboot your M$ windows twice ? /f is very important, do not ignore that.

There are 0 Bad Sectors on the disk. I've restarted with the disk plugged into the USB port. I removed the device and plugged into the linux box I want to clone. I insert the CD and still get the same problems.

Maybe you need a newer ntfs-3g to mount your NTFS partition. However, Clonezilla live, based on Debian etch, the kernel is 2.6.18, if you want to compile newer ntfs-3g, you have to update kernel and related packages. For the time being, we do not plan to change the kernel in Clonezilla live.
A workaround is to use ssh server or samba server.
Sorry for that.
