When restoring an image from /sda2 to /sda1 on my test host. I only
use Clonezilla to restore an image into a partition, so as to be able
to test applications in the different versions of Windows. That's
also why it was important for me to understand exactly what CZ does
to the MBR, especially the bootloader part, when restoring just one partition.

Does Clonezilla rewrite the partition table in the MBR even when just
restoring an image in a single partition (instead of restoring the
image of a whole disk)?
