Make a bootable clonezilla USB drive

Clonezilla is a free opensource disk imaging tool. In order to make a bootable USB drive for this product, follow these steps:

  1. Download the product from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla_live_stable/clonezilla-live-1.2.3-27.iso/download
  2. extract the contents of the ISO to a USB drive.
  3. From the utils/linux directory run bash ./makeboot.sh under an administrator account
  4. Change directory to the root of the usb drive (most likely mounted under /mount/(USB name)
  5. execute cp isolinux/isolinux.cfg syslinux.cfg
  6. execute cp isolinux/vesamenu.c32 isolinux/ocswp.png .
You should now have a bootable clonezilla USB drive
