Tried to restore an old Clonezilla image (2013) to the HDD I had originally restored with the image, I now find I do not get the "restoredisk" option when trying to restore using Clonezilla Live. I found an answer on here regarding missing disk and parts files would prevent the restore (Clonezilla restore from Samba - no 'restoredisk' option). I reviewed my image and noticed it is missing the disk file.

Is there a way to create the disk or parts files to fix this issue should it arise again?

Or, is there an alternative way of restoring the disk/partition with the image I currently have without the disk (or parts files)?

EDIT: Might have found an answer to the last question - https://serverfault.com/questions/35639/extracting-files-from-clonezilla-images. Will try this today.

This is an old post, but I would like to add something to the missing "restoredisk" option, at least in the "beginner options."

Clonezilla gives to you an option to name the folder to save the image to or take the default. Example: 2025-02-22-21-img

This folder name coincides with the image creation name. Meaning, the name of the folder is the same as the clonezilla image created. If you change the folder name (or just copy the contents of the folder somewhere else), you will not get the "restoredisk" option unless you remember exact spelling of the folder.

From their documentation:
///Note/// The image name of Clonezilla is actually a directory name. For example, if you give the image name as 2007-05-NOVISTA, all the info will be saved as in the directory /home/partimag/2007-05-NOVISTA/. Inside that directory, MBR, partition table and partition files will be stored. Therefore when you want to restore an image, remember to mount the /home/partimag as the right device or path. i.e. the directory 2007-05-NOVISTA must be in the clonezilla home directory (Ex. /home/partimag)
