Failed to use partClone program to save or restore an image
I want to clone a Windows partition of a dual booted laptop which doesn't boot anymore as described in the following link.
I don't know why but I can't clone a partition with Clonezilla. I only have these information as displayed in below screenshot I attached here :
ubuntu partition data-recovery clonezilla

did you press space to select the disk in step 2? It's not sufficient to have had the red block cursor there, you need to have a*orxinside the relevant[ ]i think.

Tricky. BTW try not to edit like that in future. That was a reasonable Q/A pair, but now it's erased. You can always add a comment to link people to a new question. You might get slightly better diagnostics & advice if you try to boot a normal live media and mount the windows filesystem. If you were mainly trying to rescue data files, that could be just as useful.

@sourcejedi ho... sorry ... I thought the question so dumb when I realised my error. I have an ubuntu live key but I don't know how to mount the windows filesystem to rescue my windows part data files

Do you must use clonezilla? If not give out a try on these few methods,
Method 1 - By using terminal commands
Boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD and open the disk management tool (or use
sudo fdisk -lfrom the terminal) to find out which disk you will be copying.Mount the external device you will save the .img file to, do not mount the disk you want to make the image from! (Disk you write into)
Use
dd if=/dev/sda of=foo_file.img, replace /dev/sda with the actual disk you want to copy and foo_image.img with a file located in the external disk you previously mounted.Reboot your PC removing the disk you made the image from and install the new disk in your PC. Boot the computer with the Ubuntu LiveCD.
Mount the external disk that contains the .img file and open the disk tool to make sure about the device where we are going to write it to. (Probably will be using the same device path as the one you just removed). Don't even try to mount the new disk, there should be nothing to mount anyways!
Use
dd if=foo_file.img of=/dev/sdato write the image you created and stored in to the external device in to the new disk you just installed.Run
gpartedand resize your newly created partitions to accommodate the extra space in your new disk.Reboot and boot using your new disk.

You can try it on other system by installing only partclone:
Ex:First you need to extract the image locally use partclone:
sudo apt install partclone
then extract to image:
cat sda3.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.a* | gzip -d -c | sudo partclone.restore -W -o sda3.img -L partclone.log
then mount it:
sudo mount -o loop -t ntfs sda3.img /mnt
