Re: [Clonezilla-live] 'Upgrade' windows systems with clonezilla?

Yes, you can run your own script before and after Clonezilla job is run.
The boot parameters you can use are ocs_prerun* and ocs_postrun*:

Just place your script in the appropriate path and use that parameters 
to run it. You should be able to make it.
