why the inserted fragment can not be cutted ..... - the inserted fragment can not cutted by the enzymes used (Nov/22/2005 )

Hi, I have a strange question which is always disturbing me very much.
I clone a PCR fragment in to the vector by using ECORI and BGL II. comparing the colony number on the plate of the vector only control and that of vector + insert , It seems the cloning is perfect.
also, using PCR , we got the insert band. but why some clone I could not digested by ECORI AND BGL II. the sites corresponding to these enzymes are less like be methlated , How could ? actually, the thing happened to me several times before.
dose any one can explain the reason?
Thanks

How big is the insert and how big is the vector? Do you have an image of a gel showing the digestion to upload?
