I have an old 1998 machine tool that uses a 486 PC running DOS 6 something. it has an IBM brand 2.75" hard drive
DDLA-21620 E182115 S "traveldrive"
I am attempting to clone it now as a backup just in case. it works fine currently.
I bought a Hitachi 2.75" HTA422020F9ATJ0
the Hitachi shows up, the IBM I want to clone does not. together , separately, no difference.
I am using ribbon cable adapters to go from my standard pc drive cables to the narrower laptop plugs. both plugs work.
I don't understand how the IBM drive can work in the machine tool dos pc, but not be discoverable by clonezilla on my windows box.
Also: I had purchaced a replacement drive a few weeks ago , it was not discoverable. I suspect there is something about the older drives different from the hitachi which is discoverable.
i see the Hitachi is Disk Interface Ultra-ATA/100
the IBM is IDE / ATA2 FAST/ENHA
I suppose that is my problem. How to fix?
Thanks, Dan
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I dont know. clonezilla does not see my hardware. i have two similar IDE disks. i know positively that at least one of them is perfectly fine, it has ms dos6 operating system and lots of files on it. when I take it out of my machine tools 1998 integrated 486 pc and plug it into my 2005ish home pc with clonezilla I see no drives. I have tried two other ultra ata drives adn they show up.

I have also tried the IDE drives on the ribbon cable for my CDROM and floppy. as I believe the ultra ata cable is only for ultra ata drives?
I dont know much about drive styles. just that neither of my two IDE drives cant be seen no matter where I plug them or how I jumper them..

I am not very sure what your problem is. Is it on the hardware, or the Clonezilla software itself?

Did you try different version of Clonezilla live?
They come with different Linux kernels, so the results might be different.
BTW, you can also try the older version of Clonezilla live. They are available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla_live_stable/OldFiles/
Good luck!
