Hello there!
I am trying to clone a HDD that contains two partitions. The main one has a windows 10 installed on it. My problem is that clonezilla couldn't reach my external HDD as a partition, which I want to use for destination. As you see (first photo), it sees the hardware and its partition, but doesn't list on the mount option.
I'm using the latest (2.4.6.7) version. I always used the old, 2.2.2 version, but it didn't see the windows 10 partitions, so that is why I upgraded. It still can see the external HDD, but not the latest version. Please help me to solve this problem.
Best regards.
So Clonezilla live is on your USB (2.0) flash drive? If so, it is busy (mounted). Therefore if you want to save the image on the same USB flash drive with Clonezilla live, please follow this:

No, clonezilla live is on a third device, on a 8 GB pendrive. That one is not listed, because its the busy one.
I think, I found the reason of the problem. I checked the device with gparted and it seems that there is some issues with the external drive's file system. I don't get why, since it works with older versions of clonezilla. I may reformat the device, yet won't be easy, because it is almost full. I will still let you know the outcome.
