"THE PARTITION WHERE YOU MUST WRITE DOWN THE IMAGE IN CASE OF USB SAVING, MUST BE FORMATED IN EXT3 (linux)" -> This is not true. The image can be on NTFS, vfat or any file system which GNU/Linux supports.
If you have CRC error frequently, try to check if the hardware is flawless, especially RAM (using memtest).

I tryed 2 usb HDD, a conceptronic and a generic one
i ran memtest (1 hour) because you recommend it a lot, and i read previous posts with a problem similar to mine,
i also made images with both debian based clonezilla and ubuntu one because in virtualbox forums i was told that the debian one uses to give problems.
Also i tryed making a P2V from 3 different PC's, one of them was a virtualized one.
no success.
Things in commom? hdd formated under NTFS in windows 7 formatting wizard, quick formatting.
maybe that is the problem? otherwise, i still need a proof to believe NTFS works creating and restoring linux

i dont know what is going wrong, but i can save a disk with no errors, but everytime i restore the image, it says CRC ERROR AGAIN, and it stops.
I have clonezilla latest release, in stable, in debian and ubuntu releases.
I doub if i have to mount the HDD or something, but i cant find info about it in any howto, clonezilla seems to be very straightforward.
So i insert an USB HDD, select souce SDA disk, destination SDB disk, wait to finish, reboot, and get the image to a SDA disk in other PC.
What is going wrong?
thx
ok solved.
Just i case, feel free to add this note in the faq or elsewhere.

Hello steven.
I tryed 2 usb HDD, a conceptronic and a generic one
i ran memtest (1 hour) because you recommend it a lot, and i read previous posts with a problem similar to mine,
i also made images with both debian based clonezilla and ubuntu one because in virtualbox forums i was told that the debian one uses to give problems.

no success.

i will add, that my first 10 times out of 10 i saved and restored under NTFS failed
i tryed only ONCE in ext3, and it was success.
Which version of Clonezilla live did you use?
Steven.
