Hi all I’ve created a clonezilla image from 4 ntfs partitions all of that were 50Gb in size.Later i deleted those 4 partitions to create one bulk partition of size 200Gb.I did that job well using gparted.After i tried to restore that image in that 200Gb ntfs partition.but i can’t do that.It returned with some errors.I’m sure image is good.I checked that image after creating.So,there’s no problem with image.how to restore that image in that 200Gb partition?I need help to accomplish this task successfully.Thanks in advance…

what operating system and version are you running?
and, what desktop environment?
first thing we need to know if the errors came from openSUSE or KDE or
Clonezilla…
what did these “some errors” say, exactly…please copy and paste them
back to this thread inside “code tags” as instructed here:

hmmmmm…do you have four images, one for each previous partition?

hmmmmm. one image containing four partitions?

i don’t know how to stuff four 50G partitions into one 200G partition
unless the 200G is an extended partition, is that what you created?
wait, these are all ntfs partitions…so, why not ask some Window’s gurus?

Due to the structure of NTFS, I would probably recreate the 4 partitions
and, keeping the first or a bootable partition, repeatedly:
{empty the contents from the adjacent partition into that first/bootable
partition (and put any excess into the last partition to be transferred)
- then delete the empty partition and expand the partition to be kept to
reclaim the space}.
That assumes, of course, that there is sufficient empty space in the
partitions. It would be quicker if you were able to restore one
partition, expand that to 200GB and use 50GB on another drive as
temporary storage for the other partitions while you copy the content
across.

Are you doing this restore in Linux ? Did you install openSUSE Linux on ntfs ? I don’t see clonezilla in openSUSE repos .
what operating system and version are you running?
and, what desktop environment?
I’m using a dualboot system with ubuntu 12.10 and windows7.

Now i’m away from home.when i return i’ll do.
one image containing four partitions?
Yes,It is.
i don’t know how to stuff four 50G partitions into one 200G partition
unless the 200G is an extended partition, is that what you created?
Yes it is in extended partition.
No,i did this using clonezilla live.
