While I was running CloneZilla and I got to the end and save the backup I got an error message that says:
"Error! No unmounted disk(s) are found."
What do I do to fix this?
I got to say that I have never backed up my computer before and I thought it would be hard but it was actually really easy when I used CloneZilla (other than the error message).

I ran into this problem too, and was banging my head against it trying to figure out why it thought my disks were mounted when they weren't (sda1 was unmounted, sda2 was mounted).
Then it came to me: in the Clonezilla menu, I had selected "savedisk", which saves entire hard disks, when I should have selected "saveparts", which clones partitions.

the thread is not solved!!!
I ran into this problem also: it tell me, my disks were mounted when absolutely no disc was mounted at all...
So what is the solution then??????????????????/

Andy,
Which version of Clonezilla live did you use ?
The steps you have done are ?
Please give more details so it's easier for us to figure it out.

Hi Steven,
I hope it's OK when i continue this thread. I'm the next one who ran into this problem. If i see it right andyviii never answered your questions. If it's OK I want to do it:
1) Version of Clonezilla
I used "clonezilla-live-20091230-karmic.zip" because my target is to use it on a brand new HP Netbook and I was unsure if the Debian kernel supports all Chipsets on that machine. First i wanted to try clonezilla on my desktop-pc and this is where my problems started :-/.
2) The steps i have done / more details
I want to boot from the first partition of an external USB harddisk. The images should go to the second partition on this disk. Here you see the "fdisk -l" command executed from the booted clonezilla:
- And here is a step by step report what i do when i fire up from clonezilla from the external drive:
1) On the Bootprompt i use "Clonezilla live (Default settings, VGA 1024 x 768)"
2) Choose "en_US.UTF-8 English" als my Language
3) Choose "Select keymap from full list" and then "pc / quertz / German / Standard / latin1-no dead keys"
4) "Start Clonezilla"
5) Use option "device-image"
6) Use option "local_dev"
7) Clonezilla shows me my sdb2 partition and i choose it as my /home/partimag
8) I want to save to "/Top_directory_in_the_local_device"
9) Clonezilla gives me a list of file system spaces. There is no sda drive listed
10) I choose "Beginner"
11) and "saveparts" option
12) I accept the automatic generated name for the image and then
13) "Error! No unmounted partition(s) are found! To use Clonezilla to save or clone a partition, the source partition must be unmounted. Press Enter to exit…"
When I'm back at the shell i collected the 2 following outputs:
Output of "mount"=================

Thank you

This is very weird… you mentioned about sda5, sda6, but in the file /proc/partitions, there is no sda5, sda6… no idea why…
How about the results of
parted -s /dev/sda print

Hi Steven,
perhaps you're on the right track. When i get back to the shell after i get the error message i am a normal user. When i send the "parted -s /dev/sda print" command i get
Hello folks,
I had the same problem with a Acer Aspire One netbook, I'm using clonezilla-live-1.2.4-28, the message "Error! No unmounted disk(s) are found…", I tried change in BIOS setup the SATA Mode: IDE to AHCI. In SATA Mode: AHCI, Clonezilla sucessly created an image of my netbook.
Try change the SATA Mode to AHCI option.

Could you please run the following commands in Clonezilla live command line prompt:
1. sudo su -
2. mount
3. cat /proc/partitions

Mark,
So did you mean you realized that ? Or you are still having a problem there ?
Steven.
So do I have to run it in advanced mode to put in those commands?
Not really. All you have to do is enter command line prompt to do that.
the thread is not solved!!!
