    ubuntu mount clonezilla image

    clonzill web page says

    * Method 1: Use Clonezilla live to restore the image to a virtual machine (e.g. VMWare workstation or Virtual Box). Then mount the restored partition to read the contents.
    * Method 2:
    1. Prepare a large disk in Linux
    2. Say if your image is /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/, if the image is like /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/*-ptcl-img.* (e.g. /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/sda1.ext4-ptcl-img.gz.aa), follow this to restore the image.
    If the the image is like /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/sda1.ntfs-img.aa, sda1.ntfs-img.ab..., run
    "file /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/sda1.ntfs-img.aa"
    to see it's gzip, bzip or lzop image. Say it's gzip, then you can run
    cat /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/sda1.ntfs-img.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o sda1.img -
    Then you will have a "sda1.img" which you can mount it by
    mount -o loop -t ntfs sda1.img /mnt
    Then all the files are in /mnt/
    You can do the similar thing for the ext3, ext4 or reiserfs file system.
    * Method 3: Use the tool partclone-utils to mount the image directly. (//NOTE// This program is not maintained by Clonezilla team. However, it will be included in the future release of partclone when the new release, e.g. 0.2 is released.).

    how do I do # 2 with the below files? The hard drive that the image comes from is formated ntfs

    $ ls
    disk sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa sda-chs.sf
    Info-dmi.txt sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ab sda-hidden-data-after-mbr
    Info-lshw.txt sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ac sda-mbr
    Info-lspci.txt sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ad sda-pt.parted
    Info-packages.txt sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ae sda-pt.sf
    parts sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.af

    they gave you the command right here
    Code:
    cat /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/sda1.ntfs-img.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o sda1.img -

    Thank you for your help. I did everything you did BUT ntfsclone I used partclone.
