    Vicntc - 2013-11-04

    I have read and tried a number of the scenarios in the Clonezilla live docs and I haven't as yet been successful in creating what I hope I can. I have also searched the Forum here (via key words etc) for possibly similar scenarios and again, have not been successful.

    I built an Ubuntu installation with one Java based app and TrueCrypt on the HD of my laptop. Using Gparted, I shrank the partitions for Ubuntu and TrueCrypt to 8gb and 4gb respectively.

    I have a non-U3 16gb USB drive that I would like to transfer the two partitions onto in such a way that I can boot directly off the USB drive. Ideally, I wouldn't have to re-create the TrueCrpt partition but if I did, that wouldn't be a show stopper.

    I used CloneZilla to create an image of the two partitions and save it to a third partition (sda4).

    Can someone please point me in the right direction to instructions that will allow me to create a bootable USB version of the two partitions on the HD?

    I've tried part image to part image
    disk to disk (USB too small)
    Basic mode
    Advanced Mode

    Help, please?

    Any and all assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
