    Hi.
    I just tried ISO 53 from CD boot on my windows xp pro sp2 system.
    My C: drive and USB flash memory devices show up but not D:, which is to
    be the destination drive (C: is source for clone op.)
    My C: drive is a mirror, raid 1 setup. D: is SATA drive.
    Do you have an idea why?
    Thanks.
    Mike

      UPDATE:

      CZ IS detecting D:/, a 500Gb removable HD, and F:, a 2Gb Flash stick.
      It is NOT detecting my C:/ drive, a RAID 1 mirror.
      I want to clone C: ->ISO on D:/.
      Only drives showing are D + F.

      The confusion arose since all three drives are the same type and, oddly,
      I hadn't memorized the SNs.

      The C:/ configuration is 2 ST3500320AS 500gb drives in RAID 1 on a Promise Tech TX2650 card.
      Hope this rings a bell with someone here.
      Thanks.
      Mike

      ps - CZ failed at point of Source drive selection:
      all it showed was the 2gb Flash stick device.
      Whether I pressed space bar to remove asterisk and pressed OK;
      or clicked Cancel, CZ would not let me out of that screen.
      I had to power off!

        mikecuth,
        I guess this is kernel support issue. Maybe you can give testing Clonezilla live (1.2.2-*) or experimental Clonezilla live a try. Both of them comes with newer kernels, so your device might be supported.

        Steven.

      Hello Steven.

      Thanks for the suggestion.
      I will try once more to use -53 version.
      If not, I will try one of the newer ones.

      Meantime, did successful clone (not restore yet) of another, older RAID1 mirror using Promise Tech TX2000.
      Went just fine - all 6 attached devices correctly listed.
      Cloned ISO from C: mirror to G: USB HD drive.

      Mike
