Hello, I use clonezilla to create copies of computer disks in my company. I encountered a problem with an error when restoring the disk "The hidden space between MBR and 1 st partition is "-1" sectors, which is smaller then the hidden data...." The entire message is visible in the picture. I tried to restore the image on different computers, on the latest version of clonezilla 3.2.0-5 and on the one on which the backup was created 3.0.1-8. Each time the error is the same. I tried to use different disks and those that are larger than the original - without effect. What can I do? How to deal with this problem?
It seems Clonezilla failed to create the partition table when restoring.
Maybe you can try to manually create the partition table in the destination disk, and when restoring the image, using the option "-k" in the expert mode:

how can I check what size and format the partitions in the image are? I understand that I have to create identical ones on the new disk
After manually creating a partition in Gparted , and selecting the expert and ‘k’ options, the image was restored but the drive will not boot with the system. There are two partitions in the image, sdc2 and sdc5. In order to successfully restore the image in this mode, I need to create as many as 5 partitions so that the number 2 and 5 are on the disk. I do not understand where this problem is coming from and why the image does not restore in beginer mode. I still do not have a solution for this problem.
I have no idea here. Somehow the partition table creation failed there, that's why I suggested you manually create that.
So what's the status now?
