The PC is a Dell OptiPlex 3050. The PC has a Toshiba SSD 250GB. I have a few 3050s to support at work, and hoping to get clonezilla imaging to work with this model Dell.
I’m guessing this has something to do with UEFI. I install Windows 10 on the 3050 using the UEFI boot method. I make a clonezilla image of the Windows 10 UEFI, restore it, and when the PC reboots it comes up to a blue screen showing inaccessible boot device.
However, if I installed Windows 10 using the legacy way, and boot clonezilla USB using legacy, I still get the same blue screen.
Looking at the srttrail.txt I see this error:
Boot critical file c:\efi\microsoft\boot\resources\custom\bootres.dll is corrupt.
Repair action: File repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x57
Time taken = 1172 ms
When I install Windows 10 using UEFI on the 3050, make a Macrium image, restoring the image using a Macrium USB boot I have works fine. The PC boots up fine into Windows 10.
I’ve tried the latest model of clonezilla, and when the imaging looks to be finished, a screen full of different characters are shown. I try to restore the image and it isn’t listed, which leads me to believe the latest version seems to have other problems itself. I don’t believe the image completed being all the characters came on the screen, and this is the reason no image was found to restore.
So far, Clonezilla and the 3050 do not seem to get along. I’m not sure if this would have something particular to do with the SSD.
My thought would be an option to use in advanced options, but what exact option that is I do not have an idea.
Any ideas?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In running the options line by line I see that a grub and EFI entry are being skipped because of a Dell UEFI bug. Seems to be my issue, sorry to hijack thread Kevin, probably yours too.
I have no clue why or how this worked for me, but when I use the load into RAM/memory option booting off the USB clonezilla somehow worked with the 3050.
Hopefully this will work for you if try it.

I am running into the same thing with nvME ssd's from toshiba on Dell Inspiron 1500s.
I have actually been able to "fix" the clonezilla images using Macrium reflect free and "repair windows boot" with their rescue CD.
