    Take a CD with clonezilla live.
    Your PC (40GB XP ?) can not read a USB thumb drive correctly.
    Disconnect your USB Printer and other USB devices.
    Make a memorytest too.
    BTW give you us always more information,

    Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't help.
    More information about my problem:
    - Material: Dell XPS L501X
    - Windows 7 64bits
    - I had a problem with my hard drive and an alert message from the bios, and also on Windows.
    - I tried to fix it with a disk defragmentation, checkDisk, but it doesn’t work and I saw a bad quality of the hard drive with Defraggler.
    - I installed Clonezilla with Active Iso Burner on a CD
    - I used the CD to make an image of the Hard Drive, with a verification of the image and I had no problem.
    - I bought a new Hard drive: WD – 2,5 pouces – 500Go – 7200t
    - I put it in place, and I booted my computer with Clonezilla CD, and after choosing my resolution I had the lessage “"Loading /live/vmlinuz.."
    - I decided to use my recovery Windows CD, I reinstall windows (without driver)
    - I tried again to reinstall my clone (to avoid to reinstall all applications, drivers, settings,..), and I had the same message “Loading /live/vmlinuz..". I wait more than 3 hours but nothing happens
    Any ideas?

    Which "alert message from the bios" did it gave ? (acoustically ?, how many times ?)
    Have you made a memory test (your first screen) ?
    Have you startet in RAM mode (second screen) ?

    Hi Fusi,
    I had an alert « bios » message before to change the hard drive each time I launched the PC. But maybe this is a Dell feature, I had the same kind of message when my battery with HS, with the text: “press F1 to continue”
    By selecting Memory Test using MemTest86+, I have no problems found.
    By selecting Clonezilla Live (800x600) or RAM mode or Safe Graphic mode or Failsafe mode I arrive on a black screen with the message “Loading /live/vmlinuz.." and nothing happen after.

    Looks like it's kernel/hardware support issue.
    Please try different versions of Clonezilla live, e.g. i686, i386, amd64.
    Also, those Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live also give them a try.

    Steven.
