    I am trying to image my Thinkpad P51 with Windows 10 pre-installed to be able to go back to the factory state.
    However there is a "Microsoft reserved partition" that clonezilla fails on when I try to create an image from the disk.
    The created image is not restorable.

    Any ideas on how to make this work?
    Error is at the end of this log.

    The file system is detected from blkid or parted. So maybe it's buggy.
    Did you try the latest Clonezilla live? like 2.5.6-22 or 2.6.0-31?
