    Hi, I have a problem similar to that discussed in http://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/a7e2fa6d/.
    I'm using Clonezilla Live 2.1.2-20-i486. I've done a successful partition save of a ~203Mb DOS partition to a USB stick. I want to restore this to a vhd accessed by Virtual PC 2007. The first problem is Virtual PC 2007 does not recognise USB sticks. To get round this I used Magic ISO to create an ISO image of the saved partition. I created a 210Mb vhd, and created one FAT16 partition using a WIN98 boot disk. On the Virtual machine created and following the instructions in http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image referenced in the above thread (boot Clonezilla to RAM so I can remove CD and restore partition from CD, choose language, choose keyboard,Start Clonezilla, device-image, local_dev to recognise the CD drive, "insert" (virtual) CD and wait five seconds before continuing) I find when I get to select /home/partimag the only option available to me is the vhd I created, the CD drive has not been recognised. Any help/advice appreciated.

    Forgot to add this is the command used for saveparts:

    /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -z1 -i 2000000 -p true saveparts 2013-08-28-19-imgDOS sda1

    "local_dev to recognise the CD drive, "insert" (virtual) CD" -> Clonezilla by default won't mount CD as the image repository. If you want to create a recovery CD, you can follow
    http://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/04_Create_Recovery_Clonezilla
    to create a recovery iso file, then burn the iso file on your CD.

    Steven.
