Winclone will only see it if it is mounted. Try clicking the Mount button in Disk Utility and see if it can mount the Boot Camp partition.

sorry that I missed the part about mounting it. The next thing to try is to open up console, filter on NTFS (in the upper right), and then try and mount the volume in Disk Utility. See what error messages are shown in Console.

I have a simliar question, winclone doesn’t see my volume. bootcamp windows partition shows up in disk utility but is greyed out. When i click mount nothing happens, any help would be appreciated.
(high sierra, winclone 7, windows 10 volume on bootcamp) (also, running a 2012 mac mini (server edition with 2 internal drives, the bootcamp partition is on the 2nd disk)
I’m trying to migrate it to an external SSD!

I ran into this problem also. I had BitLocker encryption enabled on my BootCamp volume. I had to boot to Windows and disable BitLocker encryption so that MacOS could mount the volume and WinClone could see it.

Hope this helps…

Can you open Console in Utilities folder and see if it prints a message when you to mount it? It might help to filter on ntfs in the filter bar in Console.
