    Hi

    I tried to use Tuxboot to install Clonezilla to a USB thumb drive and initially it wouldn't recognise the drive. I thought I'd "just" save the Clonezilla files to my regular hard drive, then copy the files across to the thumb drive. I later figured out how to get Tuxboot to recognise the thumb drive so went ahead and created the thumb drive successfuly, then deleted what I thought were all the relevant Clonezilla files on my main hard drive.

    Problem: Now when rebooting my hard drive I go straight to a linux prompt telling me:

    SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copyright…
    ERROR: No configuration file found
    No DEFAULt or UI configuration directive found!
    boot:

    I clearly did not delete all of the correct Clonezilla files on my hard drive. Can anyone be patient enough to tell me how to bypass this linux prompt and get into Windows (7) in order to delete all the Clonezilla files? At the moment I'm stuck on the linux screen and can't see a way past it. Help!

    It's booting from the USB thumb drive. Therefore I believe you can just turn off the machine, and unplug your USB thumb drive, then boot the machine.
    Your windows should be able to boot now.
    Good luck!

    Steven.
