Hello and thanks for reading. There is the following situation:
I have regularly cloned my complete laptop HDD to an extern HDD without any problems. Clonezilla shows partitions sda1 (MBR), sda2 (recovery), sda3 (C: ) and sda5 (D: ). Since yesterday an error message appears telling me that clonezilla has to be aborted because of unreadable sectors of sda3.
CHKDSK C: /f /r has not reported any mistakes or bad sectors.
Nevertheless, I would like to clone the entire harddisk to be intependend from Windows 10 restore procedure in case of an emergency.
Does anyone have an idea how I could
a) either tell Clonezilla that there are no unreadable sectors (I doubt that this is the best option) OR
b) repair the defective parts (which Windows 10 has maybe not detected with its standard tool)?
I am happy about every helpful hint.
PS: I use the current versions of Win10 and Clonezilla.

So is this issue reproducible in Clonezilla live >= 2.6.3-5?
