Hi all. I've been searching everywhere but couldn't find any help, I hoipe you could give me some advice.
I have a harddisk that used to be the primary hd for a desktop (win7 32 bit). I am trying to retrieve files from it by connecting it on a USB dock to my current win7 64 bit machine, but can only see one partition out of the three. I downloaded testdisk-7.0 and analyze my harddisk. I can see the three partitions(http://imgur.com/x8RyjpC) and can see the files.
Anyway, that was the background. I am interested in using clonezilla because 1) I want to make a copy of the problematic disk before I attempt further rescue, and 2) I hope I can directly retrieve my files from the cloned image. Hence
Am I right in my point 2), namely if and when I have successfully cloned my old drive, would I be able to get the file back from the image?
Is clonezilla capable of doing what I am trying to achieve?
Is there documentation or tutorial that are easy to follow?
Any other comment would be appreciated. Thanks!

For your questions,
1) You can not directly retreive files from the image file directly, but there is method to do that. Check:

2) Basically, yes. It can.
