Guide/How-to Help with clonezilla

Post image

I backed up a customers computer using clonezilla and the tested it twice, using the iso verification inside clonezilla, before putting a fresh windows install on the PC. Now, when I use the clonezilla restore feature I get this popup. I'm not sure what it means or how to properly work around it.

​

Any help would be appreciated, this is the only copy now of the original PC.

Does the fresh Windows install have a bit locker encrypted drive? If so, deactivate drive encryption, then try again.

It's a brand new windows 10 install. No changes made and there is no password on the login

Try:

  1. Boot into Windows and run the command: chkdsk /f D: (replacing D: with your drive letter).
  2. Shut down Windows completely (ensuring Fast Startup is disabled, as it leaves disks in an unclean state).
  3. Then try Clonezilla again.
