Hi, my PC has two hard drives, one with 1 partition, the other one with 3 partitions. I made a system image using Clonezilla Live "savedisk" mode. When I was asked to select the source, I selected both my hard drives, so the image includes both disks.
Now I would like to restore the second hard drive image (the one with 3 partitions) on a new hard drive. How can I do it? Neither the "restoredisk" or "restoreparts" allow me to select one disk from my system image...
Thanks

There is not an image of the second disk (sdb with sdb1 sdb2 sdb3).
Look for your image in 'disk' and 'parts'.
You have made an image for the first disk 'sda' only (You should marked 'sda' and 'sdb').

I actually confirm that the image folder created by Clonezilla contains both my hard drives images. There are all sda files (with partition file sda1.aa) and all sdb files (with partition files sdb1.aa sdb2.aa sdb3.aa).
File "disk" reports "sda sdb". File "parts" reports "sda1 sdb1 sdb2 sdb3".

There are not 3 partitions on the new disk for the 'restore'.
The new partitions should be equal or greater than the old one.
Look for the 'blkdev.list' in your image.
You can make it e.g. with 'gparted live'.

Sorry but, once I have the new sdb hard drive with the 3 partitions equal or greater than the old ones, how can I select for restore only the sdb disk? (I do not want to restore the sda disk) Should I manually restore each partition one by one?

I have a situation similar to the OP. Namely, I backed up two disks into a single Clonezilla image. When I was asked to select the source, I selected both my hard drives, so the image includes both disks.
Now, I would like to do a "restore" of only one of the disks, from the saved image. How should I do it?
"Fuchs" answers above are absolutely incomprehensible (it's not possible to understand them). Is there a simple answer?

Hi, I have a similar situation to this. I saved two disks into a single image. Now I want to restore one disk. When I chose the disk to restore it is labelled as sdb. But in the image the partitions associated with that disk are labelled sda1, sda2, sda3. When CloneZilla presents the command to restore it shows me a command restoring to the wrong disk (the disks are of different size so it is easy to spot this). How can I deal with this situation - a multi-disk image and restoring one of those disks to a disk with a different location e.g. sda instead of sdb?
Is there a simple way to convery the multi-disk image into multiple single disk images?
As a fist time user of CloneZilla I hope this feedback might be useful: in the beginner mode I do not think the software should support multiple disks to one image. It seems to make things more confusing for restoring. A beginner would probably be better off with a simple mapping of one image per disk. I wish I had taken that approach now :)
Thanks for any help!

If you have incorporated the second disk into your pc then select 'restoreparts' sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 with the space key.

What did you mean? Clonezilla should list two of them, and you just choose one of them...
