    I'm hoping someone can help me before I pull the rest of my hair out. I've been trying for weeks to get an automated USB flash drive restore to work. I have scoured these forums and have tried everything I can possibly do to try and make this work.

    I have the USB stick booting up and finding the image in home\partimage locally on the flash drive, It states that it is recovering, but when I boot up I get an error message that states no boot volume. I suspect something is up with the MBR. Now I have no issues recovering with this same image from a USB Hard Drive that is partitioned or off a network restore. The PC will boot up just fine to windows xp. But if I use this flash drive it will not.

    Here is my syslinux.cfg info…

    label Clonezilla live
    # MENU HIDE
    MENU LABEL TF DISASTER RECOVERY
    # MENU PASSWD
    kernel /live/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -p true restoredisk TSDELLGX620DRXP sda" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="NONE" ocs_live_batch="yes" ocs_lang="en_US.UTF-8" vga=791 toram=filesystem.squashfs ip=frommedia nosplash'
    * LOCAL IMAGE RESTORATION FROM USB FLASH DRIVE FOR DISASTER RECOVERY
    ENDTEXT

    PLEASE HELP.

    I receive "Error Loading Operating System" when imaging from the Flash Drive.

    "Error Loading Operating System" -> This means the problem is on boot loader. Therefore please make sure your syslinux is installed correctly:
