#120 Clonezilla doesn't launch disks
So I've got a disk that is broken, but I need to do a reverse cloning, in this case I need to clone the healthy disk (a copy of the now damaged disk), into the broken disk, this is because my warranty only works if the disk has the original OS there, the question it, the disk broke midway of an erasing... And now has bad sectors... However the disk doesn't launch at all I'm sending a photo (I've made a boot of clonezilla so I can't screenshot). The system is like this for 2 hours at least, could you help me out? I've tried to press control+c as you can see.
Thank you!
This hardware issue is diffcult to deal with. In the expert mode, there is an option "-rescue" which you can use to skip reading bad sectors... However, sometimes it fails because it's hardware issue that the program can not proceed to the next sectors.
It's recommended to use the command "ddrescue" for this purpose.
