First of all, thanks a ton for making this piece of software, it sounds very useful.
Unfortunately I've ran into some trouble. I want to backup an Acer laptop that runs Vista, but when I start the machine with the Clonezilla USB stick or CD inserted, it remains stuck in BIOS. I see the giant Acer logo (as I would before it boots Windows), but it doesn't get beyond that point. I can still press F2 to make it say that it's about to enter the BIOS menu, but it can't manage that either, it just keeps displaying the logo. Without the USB stick or CD, it boots Vista normally.
So, I guess it freezes really early in the process. Any hints on what to do? I'm no expert with these things at all.
I tried both the i486 and i686 versions, same thing happened. I also tried using UNetbootin, no luck there either. The laptop is a modernish Core 2 Duo machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You'd better to do md5sum or sha1sum check after you download the Clonezilla live iso or zip file. Make sure the file integrity is OK.
