    Hey folks, not a power user here (can barely use bash. Sometimes.) and
    I'm running into this weird error when trying to restore a disk image.
    I backed up a whole disk with both a windows 7 partition (I use it to
    run one program, no internet access) and a Linux Mint partition. I
    also encrypted it. When trying to restore I go through all the prompts
    and I get the error "Check if the partition sda1 really exists,
    otherwise maybe the kernel is too old". I downloaded and used the
    latest version of clonezilla as of about a month ago. I made sure to
    wipe the drive before restoring to it with gparted. Lastly I checked
    the integrity of the image to see if its restoreable both when I made
    it and before I tried to restore it.

    I took two pictures of the screen. The first image has all the options
    I used and the second has the error. Any advice? Thanks in advance for
    the help! -L

    It looks like the partition table was not created successfully on your /dev/sda disk, as the error message "No space left on device". Hence I think maybe your /dev/sda is too small? Compared to the source disk which you saved the image.
