I have received 300 Lenovo 100 e 2nd Gen Laptops. I have downloaded the latest version of Clonezilla. When start the process in creating an image, the Clonezilla program does not recognize the internal hard drive. I have set the secure Boot to Disabled and Security Chip is Disabled. This new Lenovo has an AMD 3015e with Radeon Graphics CPU and the Hard disk is a Ramaxel MMC64G The bios software is called ideapad. Attached is a screen shot of the Information screen on the firmware.
Please give testing Clonezilla live 20210610-impish a try:

Good Morning Steven,
Tried the 20210610-impish file, with still no luck. Still cannot see the
internal HD. Do you need me to send you any logs?
Best Regards,

OK, looks like only a USB flash drive is detected... So you might have to wait for newer Linux kernel to support it.
Do you know any version of GNU/Linux can detect your internal disk?

Hello Steven,
I have tried the following software and non of them are able to see the
internal hard drive…
- Ubuntu 21.04

Thanks for all your help!

In that case, you might have to wait for newer Linux kernel to support your hardware.
