Hi Steven, It would be difficult to provide the VMWare image as it is quite large. However, the problem appears to be reproducible. Simply use the CentOS 5.3 distribution ISO from centos.org and install using the default options. Reboot (to ensure that the machine works) and then reboot again, this time into Clonezilla.
Thanks,
Mike
