Mysterious Clonezilla problem (?)
A partition and disk imaging/cloning program

Hello
I have used Clonezilla successfully for years, ie version clonezilla-live-1.2.6-59-amd64.zip on Win XP. I have it installed on 2 external USB harddisks.
Recently, I noticed that I can no longer make one of the harddisks bootable through the command window. After choosing utils > win32 > makeboot.bat, the window does open and when prompted, I press any key, but then nothing else happens. Later still, connected to my notebook, the harddisk does boot, and the image is being made. The same is true for my netbook.
Still for safety's sake, I formated the respective partition on the harddisk, then converted the file format to FAT32, finally re-installed Clonezilla, but that didn't change a thing.
No such things happen on the other harddisk, where everything continues totally normal.
Is this something to worry about? If so, what do you suggest I should do?
Best regards

Did you try to use tuxboot for that?

If you insist to use makeboot.bat, try to run that in the command line prompt (remember to change to the drive of your USB flash drive) and see what the error messages are.
