Winclone imaging error

[InnCom]

Before I bring up the particulars, here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a hard drive with a Mac and Bootcamp partition, and I'm trying to move those over to a new iMac. The Mac partition copied over just fine, but I'm running into a problem imaging the Bootcamp partition.

I'm using Winclone, and after a couple minutes it tells me that it encountered an error and to check the log. I copied it and have it just below. Can anyone make sense of it for me?

I don't know what type of Mac or Win OS your are using but all I know is WinClone is doesn't work well. Thus the reason it hasn't been updated since the summer of '09.
I tried WinClone on my '07 MBP with WinXP Sp3 and now Win7 Ultimate and I never got it to work right.

Got a better tool for the job?

Did you format the BootCamp partition to NTFS prior to trying the restore?

Did you actually install Windows and then use the Winclone restore or just format the partition and then restore (the latter is what works for me)?

Is the Winclone backup stored on a NTFS partition?

Try this method instead. LINK

I can't even get winclone to create the image... I'm trying to store it on the osx partition, its ntfs/windows7

chscag, that failed also, 'input/output error' when creating .dmg
