Just before Christmas I posted a query regarding failures I was experiencing trying to restore XP partitions (Subject: Failed to Restore). This was not resolved due to time constraints and I ended up using ghost.
I now have an old laptop with XP installed on a FAT32 partition to practice on but I am getting exactly the same error on attempting a restore.
My laptop is divided into 3 FAT32 partitions with XP on the first primary (hda1) and the other two of equal size and spare.
My XP partition was successfully saved using clonezilla to an external USB drive and I attempted to restore the saved image file to my spare partition (sda2) but get the same error as I was getting last year in a different computer.
I downloaded a LiveCD around June 2009, not sure what version as I have dispensed with the CD
Just before Christmas I was getting similar (possibly exactly the same) trying to restore 2 different XP NTFS partitions, I gave up and used Ghost as it was not my computer and could not keep it too long.
I am now experimenting with an older laptop with XP on FAT32 and was getting the error as shown on the image referred to in my original post.
I downloaded the latest Stable LiveCD two days ago and again the image reports a successful save but will not restore suggesting the image is corrupt.
I am puzzled with this.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Can I reproduce it, if you mean did I try it more than once then yes and each time the same error.
I did not do a memory test as initially I didn't consider that could be a problem as the computer is working OK, and I have the same problem with a second computer so I would think a memory problem is unlikely.
I am wondering if it is a simple problem such as a flag.

This is the screen error output, http://www.3lanes.eclipse.co.uk/temp/czerror.html
Any clues as to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.

Which version of Clonezilla live did you use? Is this problem always reproducible in every machine?
Steven.
Steven,

Is this problem always reproducible? Did you do a memtest to make sure the RAM is flawless?
Steven.

Yes, maybe you can try to save the image with option "-q" in the expert mode, and restore it again?
Steven.
