#79 Clonezilla can't detect M.2 SSD
I have a ASUS G752VW notebook it use SAMSUNG M.2 SSD, Clonezilla can't detect M.2 SSD, I try all the version clonezilla-live-20160529-xenial-amd64 clonezilla-live-20160523-yakkety-amd64 clonezilla-live-20160210-wily-amd64 even I use partedmagic in GUI mode can't found M.2 SSD, would you mind help me to solve this problem.
So did you give Clonezilla live 2.4.6-30 a try? It comes with Linux kernel 4.6.1 so it might support your hardware.

Steven - I ran into this problem also but found a workaround. I was imaging 15 HP ZBook17G3 laptops using Clonezilla Live (clonezilla-live-20161121-yakkety-i386.iso). Booted to a Clonezilla USB key with an image stored on a WD Passport external USB drive. I had no trouble detecting the WD Passport or the internal Toshiba NVMe drive, capturing the image and deploying to 7 of the brand new laptops. However, the other 8 errored out with the "failed to find partition nvme0np1" error when trying to deploy the image. Here's where it gets strange. I found that if I rebooted, went through the same parameters again but this time asked it to check if the image is restorable prior to deploying (rather than selecting the "skip check..." as I normally would), everything went fine and I was able to image the remaining 8 units. Annoying because it doubled the length of time to deploy but strange in that using this method, I couldn't get the process to fail! Not a big deal as I only had a few machines but a serious p.i.t.a. if I was deploying to a large number.
That's really weird. Chekcing should not make any differences for the devices.
Anyway, if it's always reproducible, please post it again.
Thanks.
Steven
