<p>One thing should be made clear about the image file: it is not a file, it is a <b>folder</b>, containing the actual image file and some data about the disk/partition it is associated with. So when you insert the image file name, you actually insert the folder name where the image will be saved/restored.<br><br> |

Before you are able to insert the image file name, a list of partitions will be presented to you, so that you can choose where it should be saved/found. When you select one of them, it will be mounted under <b>/home/partimag</b>.<br><br> |
Before you are able to insert the image file name, a list of partitions will be presented to you, so that you can choose where it should be saved/found. When you select one of them, it will be mounted and a list of folders will be presented to you, so you can select the base image directory (first level directory within the partition), which will then be mounted under <b>/home/partimag</b>. This way you can, for example, create a folder called <b>all_my_images</b> in one of your disk partitions, and move all your image files in there; <b>Clonezilla Live</b> will be able to find them!!!<br><br> |

This folder is very important for <b>Clonezilla Live</b>; the image file <b>must</b> be located under this directory, which means that the image file <b>must</b> be on the root directory of the mounted partition. So you can not, for example, create a folder called <b>all_my_images</b> and move all your image files in there; <b>Clonezilla Live</b> will not be able to find them!!!<br><br> |

Another thing that should be pointed out is that <b>only unmounted</b> partitions will be included in the above list. This means that if you have stopped the program at some point after specifying the partition where the image file resides, and it has been mounted, it will not be present in the list the next time it is presented to you, and you will not be able to use it.<br><br> |
