I had to start the makeboot.bat with admin rights (or I get an access denied message), but then it says, that it doesn't know the command "syslinux.exe" Do I need to access the whole device with full admin rights on Vista? If yes, how?
Also it should be mentioned in the guide!

I think there might be an error in the MakeBoot.Bat file…
Syslinux.exe kept terminating before completing (though the batch file continued to run to end). The USB HDD would not become bootable.
I changed the paramater for "syslinux.exe" in the batch file
from: -maf
to: -sfmar
(keeping the drive reference the same) and it ran fine. The USB HDD became bootable..

Thanks for sharing this.
Sure, you can make such a change there. "-s" option will use the "safe, slow and stupid" version of syslinux. We will add a prompt in the makeboot.bat (as did in makeboot.sh) to prompt the option "-s".

Hi,
I am using Windows Vista and want to boot CloneZilla fomr USb stick.
I've downloaded clonezilla-live-1.2.4-28-486.zip and followed the instructions here:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/liveusb.php
I had to start the makeboot.bat with admin rights (or I get an access denied message), but then it says, that it doesn't know the command "syslinux.exe" Do I need to access the whole device with full admin rights on Vista? If yes, how?
Also it should be mentioned in the guide!
Now I booted via Windows DVD and tried to execute the makeboot.bat from the usb stick again and it worked. The device is now bootable.
Maybe it has really something to do with the admin rights.
OK. Please let us know if you encounter problem again.
Steven.
