I installed a tripple boot with Windows 8.1 Pro, OSX 10.11.4, clonezilla live(-hd) on a iMac 21,5" Late 2015.
My Installation is a bit special:

  1. Installed Windows in (U)EFI Mode and created 6 partitions:
    • win-recovery
    • efi-partition
    • windows
    • restore-partion (clonezilla-live)
    • installer-partition (a fat32 part which contains installer-files for mac and windows)
    • OSX partition
  2. Installed OSX 10.11.4 via OSX Bootstick
  3. Disabled SIP (system integrety protection)
  4. Installed refind 0.10.1

So gdisk tells me I got a plain gpt partition table with a protective mbr.
I took the disk-image to restore the same computer (another iMac with the exact same configuration) and restored it.

During the restore, gdisk tells me I got a gpt with protective mbr and the 6 partitons -> everything looks fine.
When ocs-restore finished I got a gpt with -hybrid- mbr..

Result:

  • So OSX is booting fine
  • The internal clonezilla live is booting
  • Windows ends up with a bootfailue (0xc000000e) which tells me to use recovery tools on install stick to recover the boot error
  • But the install stick also ends with cannot resolve issue

What I already tried:

  • Googled about boot error code 0xc000000e, which tells me to do rebuild bcd or to a fixmbr (but I am booting on gpt with efi not bcd)
  • Using -t options to -not- recover mbr
  • disabling -j1 and -j2
  • recreating the partition-tabel by hand, and then do a part-restore

Is there any option I am missing or is it not possible to recover such kind of partition table?

    Did you try Clonezilla live 2.4.6-8 or 20160412-*?
    http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
    There are some improvements. Maybe it works for you.
    //NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.

    Yes 2.4.6-8 worked, thank you!
    Is there a relase plan for the new version?

    I have a rather big installation with about 300 computers here and am a bit afraid rolling out the testing version.

    If it works for you, just use it. The reason it's still testing release is, we need to get more feedbacks and bug reports. Since it works there, I do not see any reason why you can not use that to deploy your 300 computers.
