I am trying to clone my old Hitachi (connected via IDE) to my new WD drive (SATA). When I navigate to the clone local disc to local disc option, Clonezilla says that the option requires 2 drives be connected to the machine and it can only see 1. Just to see which drive it was I went to the imaging menu to find that it was the Hitachi that was not being seen by Clonezilla. That drive is my default boot drive with Windows on it so obviously the drive works and is recognized by the MB. If anyone has any ideas or could offer some help I'd really appreciate it.

Which version of Clonezilla live did you use ?
Maybe the kernel does not support the hardware ?
If so, give testing or experimental Clonezilla live a try...

I tried what you said Steven and attempted to use the experimental Ubuntu-based version. There exact same problem occurred. The only thing I find weird about it is that the the drive not being found is older and so the problem wouldn't be that it's too new for Clonezilla. On the other hand it does recognize the newer drive.

Maybe you can check this BIOS menu to see if any option you can tune about the PATA and SATA disk.
Also make sure if both of them are IDE (PATA) disks (I am not sure it's the case there), make sure the jumper settings on the disks are correct.

I have a similar problem except i have 2 new hardrives and it won't recognize one of them. They are both Western digital Caviar black HDs.
I hooked up the second one internally in hopes that it would recognize as a local drive and clonezilla tells me that it only sees my main hd. My bios shows both hard drives and the second one is recognized by windows when i check the devices (i have not formatted the second hd yet)
I'm very excited about the capabilities of clonezilla but haven't been able to reap the rewards yet :(
Any ideas as to why?

Give testing Clonezilla live, either 20110309-maverick or 1.2.8-12 a try. They come with newer kernel, so it might help.
