    I created a clonezilla img of my entire win10 harddrive then I reinstalled Win10. The problem is that's there's a old POP3 email account on the img that I want to boot in Virtualbox in order to retrieve those emails.

    The clonezilla img is in my downloads directory.

    So what the issue you have there? Unable to boot the restored Win10 in your virtualbox? If so, that should be the driver issues since your source machine is different from the VM of virtualbox.

    I didn't restore the backup in virtualbox becasue I cant't get it to work.

    So what's the error message when you mentioned "can't get it to work"? Please take some photos about them.

    I must have been talking incorrectly. What I mean is I want to take the clonezilla image and load that in Virtualbox. Just not sure how to do that.

    About the usage, please refer to the step-by-step docs:
    https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live-doc.php
    You can put the image in the network storage (NFS, SSHFS, Samba...) so it's easier for you to restore that.
    However, as I mentioned, Windows will detect the hardware is different, so it might fail to boot, unless you have install sysprep before taking an image of the source machine.

    I restored the image to an old hard drive and then got my files back. Thanks for the help!
