I have formatted an 32 GB USB stick complete with fat32 and installed the following clonezilla version:
clonezilla-live-2.3.1-18-i686-pae.iso
i have a tablet win 8 HP UEFI and i want to make an autorestore from the disk image i created: W8TBLMERCH201502-img.
First i made the backup W8TBLMERCH201502-img to a NAS
Then on the usb disk i created a /home/partimag directory and copied the W8TBLMERCH201502-img files in that directory.
When i restore the image manually i got following notification from clonezilla:
/usr/sbin/ocs-sr -g auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -p true restoredisk W8TBLMERCH201502-img mmcblk0
To make it unattended i assume i use grub 2 so i edit this file /EFI/boot/grub.cfg and placed at first menu item following:
I have tried many other combinations but i keep stuck on the field Configuring console-data
Then i select don't touch keymap
Then i see clonezilla tries to run the command:
The jobs in /etc/ocs/ocs-live.d/ are finished. Start "ocr-sr -batch -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -j2 -k -p true restoredisk W8TBLMERCH201502-img mmcblk0" now.

Any input would be great, thanks !
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In your grub config, you should mount your image repository on NAS, like:
ocs_prerun="mount -t nfs 192.168.200.254:/work/exp /home/partimag"
(assuming your NAS provides NFS service, and its IP address is 192.168.200.254)
Then you should have the image in /home/partimag/ .

Before i could restore the win7 images on laptop from 1 partition on usb created in the /home/partimag directory, now that doesn't work anymore.
With the 2 partitions i mount the partition with the image and that works also perfect.
Great challange to create a 2 partition usb stick, with the tool 'dummydisk-setup.exe' it was possible to create physical hdd partiotions from the usb stick.
Thanks for reply and your kindness *

Hi Steven,
thanks for reply, i have manage to create the bootable image following this tutorial:
http://alltutorials.org/creating_an_unattended_disk_cloning_solution_using_clonezilla_and_usb_stick/
Before i could restore the win7 images on laptop from 1 partition on usb created in the /home/partimag directory, now that doesn't work anymore.
With the 2 partitions i mount the partition with the image and that works also perfect.
Great challange to create a 2 partition usb stick, with the tool 'dummydisk-setup.exe' it was possible to create physical hdd partiotions from the usb stick.

OK. So now it works there, no more problem, right?
