    I have installed Fedora 10 x64, and the partitions are
    setup as follows.

    #  Device     Mount Point  Size  Type
    *************************************
    1  /dev/sda1  /            50G   ext3
    2  /dev/sda2  /mnt/2      145G   ext3
    3  /tmp                     4G   tmp
    4  /dev/sda5  /image       33G   FAT32

    Don't ask me why it numbered the last one as "5".

    FYI, "/dev/sda1" has approximately 15G used.

    Anyway, I followed the prompts to clone /dev/sda1
    to /dev/sda5.  I was prompted to set a default mount
    point for the folder/files generated on /dev/sda5.  I was
    also prompted to split the saved
    files to "chunks", which I left the default of
    2000MB.  I also left the default compression of gzip.

    Anyway, it finished, then stated a message in red that
    it failed.  I rebooted, and now "/dev/sda5" shows nothing
    and will not even appear when I run "df".  When I change
    to "/image", nothing appears in the folder.

    If I go into Volume Manager, it shows all volumes as not
    initialized.

    I was under the assumption that Clonezilla would simply
    clone "/dev/sda1" to a set of files on "/dev/sda5".

    Any ideas of what happened?  I used Norton's Ghost
    on an old Linux box along time ago to do this, and it
    worked flawlessly.

      When it stated a message in red, what the error messages around that ? Maybe show 20 lines above that to us.
      Please also turn on "-nogui" so it's easier to catch the error messages.
