    Hi,

    I am trying to boot my PC from Clonezilla Live USB version clonezilla-live-2.1.0-26-i486.
    I tried both the GNU/Linux Manual way and also the MS Windows Tuxboot way to install everything
    on my external pendrive and make it bootable. I have also set in the BIOS boot settings on my PC that I want the USB removable to be first priority boot device. Still it does not work. The machine loads the Grub of from the Harddrive and doesn't
    even notive that I have the Clonezilla live usb plugged into the USB port. I tried all USB ports but nothing.

    For a cross check I also tried a standard Ubuntu live usb and my PC can boot from that, so the BIOS settings are correct.

    Any ideas what the problem can be? Perhaps some Grub problem? What should I check?

    thanks,
    Balint

    Do not use Tuxboot. Sometimes it gives any problems.

    You could take a
    2GB SD card  , new formated with NTFS .

    Download among
    Browse All Files (!)
    clonezilla-live-2.1.0-26-i486.zip
    All extract..
    go to folder 'clonezilla-live-2.1.0-26-i486'
    mark all extracted files and folders in it
    Send to .. USB_SD_card 

    Go to USB_SD_card 
    G:\utils\win32\makeboot.bat start with open  # that's important for you

    Now you can use clonezilla.

    @radbal,
    That's weird… Did you try to use different USB flash drive to install Clonezilla live on that? Maybe the issue is on the hardware itself?

    Steven.
