My system configuration:
HP DX2250 Box

Dual 80GB Hard Drives
Windows XP PRO on Drive 0
Fedora 12 on Drive 1
No Dual Boot - Boot using F9 Boot Menu
No Floppy Drive
Here is some feedback on my experience with three of the latest
Clonezilla releases (2-31, 3-24, 3-27). I am going to stay with
Clonezilla 2-31 for now. I have used it many times to copy and
restore my hard drive image with no apparent problems It’s only
problem is encountered during “restore” of the image copy to the
original hard drive. It falls all over it’s self trying to resolve a
“boot record” issue and the lack of a floppy drive. It hangs and a
power down is necessary to exit the situation.
I have tried both Clonezilla 3-24 and 3-27. Both releases have the
same problem prior to image copying the original hard drive. At a
certain point in the process there is a rolling screen of repetitive
error messages (the same message is repeated over and over many
unknown times). I do not see these error messages in release 2-31.
The “Scroll Lock” and “Pause/Break” keys are ineffective and the
subsequent messages are sufficient in number to roll the last
iteration of the error message off the screen. Due to this, I am
hesitant to rely on either version for an accurate image copy. Also
release 3-27 has a significant problem at the end of the image copy
process. When the image copy finished I entered “3” to terminate the
task. It went into a non interruptible loop with a single line
message flooding a rolling screen, which required a power down to exit
the situation. Maybe a future release will include certain keyboard
interrupt handling to support better diagnostics/reporting of certain
error situations.
