Hi everyone!
I am the first-time Clonezilla user and therefore am probably confused by the minimalistic and (as it looks to me) obscure language the program is using. First of all it discovers all my discs - I have three of them: sda, sdb and sdc. My goal is to create the sda image and save it on sdc. However when it comes to the device selection there are only sda1, sda2, sdb1 and sdb2. It seems it does not allow me to create the image on sdc... or am I missing anything? Are there any more or less detailed manual?
Thank you everyone!

Actually the problem looks even stranger. Even when I removed the SDB HDD from the slot, and the brand new HDD (which is intended to become an image repository) is seen by the Clonezilla, it does NOT appear on the list presented for the image location selection.

What the results if you run these commands after enter Clonezilla live command line prompt:
1. sudo -i
2. cat /proc/partitions
3. lsblk
4. mount
Please show the results of 2 - 4.
Thanks.

Steven
