#95 sdb doesnt show in cloning selection
Hello!
I'm new to SourceForge and need help. I have used Clonezilla before but not too in depth so I'd really appreciate the help. I was trying to clone my 1tb boot drive to a smaller 120gb SSD. I have followed steps that a Youtuber posted (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk5dtd_T3IU&) except mine isn't a vr machine. Everything was going well up until to the cloning part. The sda1, sda2, and sda3 shows up but sdb1, sdb2, and sdb3 are not showing. Within the cloning process it's saying it's getting info for those 3 sdb but it doesn't show in the selection of target nor source local partition. But when I do "fdisk -l" the 2nd drive (with the 3 sdb) shows up with the MBR being the same as the 1st drive. Is this a bug? I have installed Clonezilla Live in a USB thumb drive and got the latest stable version. Please help
Did you try testing Clonezilla live? Like >= 2.5.2-2 or 20170529-*?
http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
They come with newer Linux kernels so the results might be different.

BTW, please post the results:
1. cat /proc/partitions
2. sudo parted -s /dev/sdb print
Thanks.
Steven
Sorry for the delay I was busy this couple of days
I was using the Clonezilla Live "stable - 2.5.0-25" but I'll give the "testing - 2.5.2-7" a shot
Here's some images of the existing problem http://imgur.com/a/IhnGU
I attatched the results for 1 and 2

Hi. I tried using the testing - 2.5.2-7 but it still didn't show the sdb in cloning process
I have attached the results for 1 and 2 with the test version of Clonezilla
It looks like you have "illeagal" partition layout as you can see from the output of "sudo parted -s /dev/sdb print". You have to tune or fix the partition layout first I believe.
Steven
How do I do that? What are the steps? What should I do first?
Maybe you can try GParted live. If it does not work for you, then it will be complicated, so try to find someone who is familiar with partitioning program like fdisk to do that for you.
//NOTE// Backup important data before do that.
