    Hello,

    I "installed" Clonezilla on a FAT32-partition on my internal drive (nvme0n1) - on ThinkPad P43s.

    When I boot afterwards clonezill to start efibootmgr to set the drive in my NVRAM he starts clonezilla from my internal drive intead the pen drive. I think because search uses --set in the grub.cfg. So I changed --set to --label followed by my pendrive label. But the it complains the secure boot prevented loading and asks for a key to press. When I press, everything runs smooth. I use the alternate download as advised in another post.

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Normally when uEFI is used, we boot Clonezilla live USB flash drive by pressing the hotkey, like F12, to select the USB device to boot. Then it just goes. Maybe you can try the same way?
    BTW, I believe you do not have to use efibootmgr to add the USB device to your uEFI BIOS, unless the USB flash drive is always attached.

    I want to add a partition on my drive to the UEFI, and therefore I have to use efibbotmgr, there is no open source known to me for Windows which can access UEFI and add an entry. My poblem above is solved, AFAIk I used to set the boot directly to the drive and than the problem vanished. Grub is hard nut to crack :-)
