Those 2 files were just random installer files (either .exe or .msi)
that I happened to have handy. I forgot exactly what they were, but I
put them on the desktop as a way to see whether any files got damaged.
By the way, the hashes only changed when I cloned to a smaller hard
drive; they remained the same, as they should have, when I cloned to a
hard drive of identical size. Further evidence that the files did get
damaged can be found in the missing icons; those 2 installers had
icons on the source drive but not on the destination drive after
Clonezilla had finished restoring the image. This basically shows that
cloning to a smaller hard drive caused the file corruption. Clonezilla
remains perfect for my imaging needs when I restore an image to the
same hard drive (and I assume it works just as well for larger sized
hard drives).
I really don't mind doing testing, but since I've exhausted even
Steven's method and Gary's method, I don't have much hope at this
point. If anybody has any new suggestions or corrections to what I
did, I'll be happy to do the testing.
