Using CZ Lives and its default options, I can succesfully save/restore XP and Vista between two partitions on the same disk, but Windows7 fails with error 0xc00000e. Recovery requires booting with the W7 DVD and choosing the Repair option.
Has someone successfully done this, and could tell us what steps must be done? FWIW, I'd rather CZ save/restore the MBR as well so that I don't have to use Grub to boot W7.
Thank you.

Basically the answer is yes. I have done some tests about Windows 7 restoration, and no issue here.
What does "error 0xc00000e" mean from MS windows?

From what I understand, "0xc00000e" is related to Vista/W7's bootloader. Did you succesfully save and restore an image of a Windows7 partition into/from a second partition on the same disk? Maybe cloning a disk to another disk works, but not when just imaging a partition?
Actually, what I would really like is to
1) have CZ restore the MBR so that I can use the real, native bootloader instead of Grub, and
2) find the explanation for the switches available in CZ (eg. -g, -t, -t1, etc.). Currently, I just use the default without knowing what they do.
Thank you.

Found it: It's not a CHS issue, but rather it appears that Windows7 uses the 4 bytes in the MBR to identify a disk and isn't happy if this information is overwritten when restoring another image before testing Windows7:
"Vista's MBR Disk Signature"
www.multibooters.co.uk/mbr.html
"Helpful Info #1 - BEFORE Local Image Creation"
www.clonezilla.org/related_article/txt2html.php?txt_url=./002_BEFORE_Creation_Image_Local/BEFORE_Local_Image_Creation.txt
So if you get error "0xc00000e : Can't run WINLOAD.EXE" after restoring a Windows7 image…
1. Boot with the Windows7 DVD
2. Choose the Repair option
3. Reboot the repaired Windows7
4. Remove all entries in the Registry HKLM\System\MountedDevices\ except Default
5. Reboot with CloneZilla to make a new image
6. Restore the new image: You should now be able to boot Windows7
Hope this helps others.

Yes, I did disk saving and restoring and it was successful.
For partition clone, yes, you have to tune some option in the expert mode, e.g.

Thanks for sharing this. We have put this on

And for owners of CD-ROMless netbooks there is a (finally!) tool from Microsoft to make bootable USB flash drive:
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
If you boot from USB flash drive do not use autofix or it will "fix" a partition on the USB drive, not your hard drive.
Instead from command prompt issue:
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
And your windoze will boot straight away. Voila!
