<div class="moz-cite-prefix">/dev/sdc1 is ext4 and what I want
extended 208.48 GiB<br>

turned off 29.99 GiB and was inside the extended partition<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Can you give me a hint what went

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The problem might be that gparted still
has a problem with leaving 1MiB at the end for the duplicate boot

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">On some of the BIOSes, unless you have the USB drive connected, before
you go into the BIOS, it will not appear as a boot option.
Also, depending on the USB flash drive model, it may appear:
1) as a removable device (aka a floppy drive),
2) a hard drive (appearing as second choice under hard disk drives;
you would need to change the 1st drive to USB and the 2nd drive to
your current boot drive), or
3) as a CDROM drive.
Also, if you have a UEFI BIOS, you may need to switch it to Legacy,
instead of UEFI.
Lastly, if you have a UEFI BIOS, you need a UEFI compatible boot device.
In the case of Clonezilla, you need to download an AMD664 alternative
version (Ubuntu-based), rather than the default Debian-based. (We have
both the UEFI and Legacy versions of Clonezilla to try when we run into
such issues.)
And, rarely, I encounter computers that simply cannot boot USB flash
drives, but those tend to be much older ones.
