I was doing a data backup project where I had two drives in a tower that needed capturing. Since I saw the option to select multiple drives when creating an image, I selected both drives (I'll use sda and sdb for reference terms). sda is a standard WinXP installation with associated programs/files/data/etc. formatted in NTFS, and the other is an NTFS volume for data. Both are 160GB drives, with ~100GB used on each. The Clonezilla backup is uncompressed, since I was in a hurry and was running the program on a rather weak machine from 2006. I created the backup through the final free version of Parted Magic.
At this point, I'm able to restore sda via defaults, but I can't figure out a way to restore sdb, even in the expert options and with the Clonezilla live 20161121 build. I'd be absolutely fine if I was forced to re-restore sda in the process of getting to sdb; I have more than enough blank/unused drives to work with.
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a relative newbie to Clonezilla, so if I'm missing something obvious, please let me know :)
Thanks,

What did you mean?
When you see this similar screen:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image/images/ocs-10-disk-selection.png
Clonezilla live should show you sda, sdb for you to select, and you can just select sdb by using arrow key to move to sdb and pressing space bar to mark the destination disk.
Did you encounter any issue when doing this?
