I used a CloneZilla LiveCD to back up a couple of Windows machines to a Samba share. Now I'm trying to restore those images, and CloneZilla won't even give me the 'restoredisk' or 'restorepart' options on the menu. I'm guessing that this is because CZ isn't recognizing a valid image... but why?
Here's a listing of the folder on the Samba share:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 marc users 319 May 31 03:45 blkdev.list
-rwxrwxrwx 1 marc users 5307 May 31 04:41 clonezilla-img

-rwxrwxrwx 1 marc users 259 May 31 03:45 sda-pt.sf
(I've been experimenting with various permissions trying to get this to work; that's why they're currently all "rwxrwxrwx"...)
I've got my CZ LiveCD stuck in a (different) machine with a 160GB SATA disk that I'm fine with overwriting; although CZ doesn't show a directory listing, it does show that the correct folder is mounted as /home/partimag. But a moment later, after selecting either Beginner or Expert, I'm only presented with the "savedisk", "saveparts", and "exit" options. What am I doing wrong?
I am confident that the initial backup was successful; I can post the log if desired, or any other information that might be germane.
Edit: I've copied the contents of the folder onto a 16GB USB stick and set THAT as /home/partimag. Still nothing. What the hell is CZ looking for?
