Hello,

I am in a classroom setting in which I have a dozen identical computers. These computers have 500GB hard drives with 2 partitions (#1: Windows 7; #2:Nothing for now).

I would like to take an image of the first partition and store the image on the second partition (image repository). Also if possible, I would like the second partition to be bootable to Clonezilla.

With this setup, no external USB drives or bootable CD' of Clonezilla are needed. Imaging would all be localized to that machine.

This setup would allow us to easily roll back to a standard image after a class is done.

Does anyone have a step by step guide for this type of setup?

Thanks for your help.

When you boot Clonezilla live, there is a customized file
/usr/share/drbl/samples/custom-ocs-2
It's very similar to what you want. You can modify that to meet your need. Some comments are inside that file, remember to read that.
