Clonezilla Live on USB
I'm trying to create a 32GB USB Clonezilla Live disk. I'm logged in as root on Lenny.
I created a new partition on the USB drive using fdisk, set the id to b (w95 fat32), and toggled the boot tag. The instructions on the Clonezilla website describes using the mkfs.vfat command to create a file system but Lenny returns a "command not found" result when I try. I tried using mkdosfs but it also returned "command not found". What Am I doing wrong? Please help. p.s. Can mkdosfs format a disk with the bootable tag toggled? |
Are you using the commands as root? If not you should be root for the admin tasks.
You can also using mke2fs -t vfat if mkfs.vfat is not working. |
Or else you can also use a windows machine to format the usb drive to fat32.

Chaitanya,
I tried mke2fs -t vfat but got back a comment that the drive must be unmounted. I tried to unmount the drive and got "command not found" again. I rebooted and reran mke2fs -t vfat, and it worked. Wierd. Thanks for your help. By the way, This install won't display 1920x1050. I had an earlier version of lenny installed on the same machine that did display 1920x1050. Any ideas? I'm not too keen on some of these new-fangled automatic features. Thanks again for your help. Nodnol |
