Hi everyone!
I'm trying to clone my disk (windows 8.1) with Clonezilla, but I was never able to boot from a USB drive.
My specs: Laptop MEDION AKOYA P2211T, Windows 8.1, Intel Celeron CPU N2920 @1,86 Ghz
Ok, here's what I did
1. I downloaded CLonezilla ISO
=> Here, I don't know which version should I use for Windows (Alternative stable or Stable)?
2. CPU architecture AMD64 , i686PAE or i686
=> Here I selected AMD64
3. ZIP or ISO
=> I selected ISO
4. I Downloaded RUFUS to create a bootable ISO for my USB drive
Partition scheme: GPT
File system: FAT32
Cluster size: Default
ISO or DD: I choose **ISO **
In my BIOS:
> Main >Boot features
"Secure Boot Option" Disable
"BIOS Level USB" Enable
Advanced>USB configuration
"xHCI Controller" Enable
"xHCI Moded" Enable
*
Boot
1. USB HDD (USB drive)
2. USB FDD
3. USB CD
4. Hardrive* (I also tried to to put it in number 2 position)
5. Windows Boot Manager
Windows start normally, without booting from the USB drive.
Any Ideas?
Thanks for any help
Some suggestions:
1. Try to use different types of USB flash drive.
2. Try to use the method here, use the Clonezilla live zip file, and make sure you have a FAT partition:
