I have used a Clonezilla Live cd to backup a HDD and save it as a ISO file. When I boot this CD, it does come up fine, but it will not load onto the destination HDD.

When we backed the drive up, it is connected to Sata 1, while the drive its being saved to is on Sata 2. We choose to have it saved as HDA, but that does not work, as its looking to put the backup back on SDB. We have created many different versions of the ISO using various HDD destinations (HDB, HDA1, SDA, etc) to no avail.

Any ideas?

Since it's unattended mode, so you have hard coded the destination disk in the boot parameters.
You can edit the boot parameters, change the param of ocs-sr in /isolinux/isolinux.cfg, as described here:

Another possibility is, when it fails, enter command line prompt, you can run:
1. sudo -i
2. ocs-sr -x
to rerun the restore job. It will let you choose the destination disk.
