Using v 1.1.0-8 on a Dell system with 80MB hidden VFAT partition
and 60GB NTFS partition I saved to an image directory on a USB
drive. When trying to restore this to a 160GB drive, Clonzilla
stops with a message that it can't find hdb. When I reboot, the
second drive is no longer formatted.
Problem 2:
When I do a disk-to-disk clone on the same system, the second
drive is identical to the first but when I make it the master, rebbot
halts with DHCP...... "No Boot Device Detected".

About your problems:
1. How many disks do you have when you save an image ? Looks like there are 2 ? But when you restore, how many disks exist ?
Please also enter command line prompt, then run:
a. sudo su -
b. cat /proc/partitions
then post the results.
2. Which operating system on the disk ? Did you remove the source disk ? or did you tune the jumper of disk ?

disk-disk:
2: Windows XP sp2 home edition. I left both disks in and swapped master/slave
by changing the jumpers on each drive. This acts like a partition wasn't made
active, which I used to have to do with fdisk in Win98, but haven't seen in XP.
When asked to copy some MBR (I don't remember the wording) I checked "yes".
I would like to get the current disk-disk copy that is now on the slave working
without copying over it if possible. That's because I installed Ghost 10.0 on the
current 60GB master and stopped when it wanted to install .NET Framework 1.1
when I already have 2.0 . It didn't make sense to me so rather than uninstall it,
I would like to go back to my most recent copy which is currently on the 160GB slave.

Weird... Since you can see hda in /proc/partitions, no idea why clonezilla can not clone that for you.
Maybe you can tune some advanced parameters when restoring, or use partition to partition clone, and try to get more verbose message so that it's easier to identify the problem.

Hi, I'm having a different problem (backed up LVM drive with partitions to one external drive and restored to another larger one, which is recognised by the OS, but clone refuses to boot). Anyway I just thought it might help your descision if I point out that the .NET 1.1 and 2.0 frameworks are entirely separate and can coexist happily. You do not need to worry about messing up .NET 2.0 by installing .NET 1.1 after it.
Hope that helps!

Scott ,
Thanks for your info, however, I am sorry I do not understand that your reply is something to do with this topic " image restore doesn't see hdb" ? Any relationship ?

image restore:
1: There are 2, a 60GB master and a 160 GB slave. The slave is sometimes formatted,
sometimes not.. it doesn't make a difference.
Currently, the slave has a disk-disk copy on it with the hidden & primary partitions.
cat /proc/partitions: hda hda1 hda2 hdb hdb1 hdb2 loop0 sda sda1 .
