I stumbled across this today and it is exactly what I have been looking for!
I have been able to get a few of my desired tools working 100% (dban, gparted, ophcrack, UBCD) but what I would ultimatly hope to get working is CloneZilla!
I was able to get the Clonezilla user interface to load correctly but when I choose any of the options I encounter an error "ntfs volume version 3.1" repetitively. I have a feeling it is because I am launching the iso wrong in my menu.lst config file for grub. This is what I have. Does anyone have any ideas?
Granted this isn't a "fix" to the problem but I do have a work around for you. The newest version of Parted Magic has Clonezilla built into it and Parted Magic boots just fine using the default Grub menu.lst that is created by the Multiboot.exe.
I stumbled across your post because I was trying to do the same thing (and getting the same error message) but after a few days of hardcore Google searches I stumbled across the fact that Parted Magic had built in Clonezilla, gave a try, slapped myself of the forehead, and moved on with my life.
Things change quickly in linux, and the latest versions of PartedMagic no longer have Clonezilla. There was also a GParted Clonezilla live-cd, but Gnome no offers the combination.
The PartedMagic release notes mention the size of PartedMagic with Clonezilla as the reason for it no longer being included.
Similar settings for the stable version 1.2.2-31 had a repeating FAT error and the kernel is "vmlinuz1" and the initrd is "initrd1.img"
You are a god among men, sir. Sure enough the Karmic version works great with these settings. The normal version scrolled the same old tired NTFS error. Seeing as both versions function the same way I am now a Karmic user.
Hope the OP is still paying attention to this thread!
grub4dos USB booting for Clonezilla standard version
After following the info posted by "icerjosh" I managed to get the standard 32-bit / i486 version of Clonezilla to boot on my USB stick with grub4dos.
I copied his menu.lst entry for the "karmic" Ubuntu version of Clonezilla, but then I went to the liveHD instruction page (here: clonezilla dot org / livehd.php ) and checked on their kernel parameters and they were different. I compared the two and did some editing, and here's what I ended up with that worked:
It booted up and I was able to image a Linux hard drive with it successfully. This was my 3rd or 4th attempt to get the USB stick to boot Clonezilla. I have the 32 and 64-bit versions of Clonezilla standard on there. Next I will try to put in the boot entry for the 64-bit one...
I just started looking into using Clonezilla BTW, after having trouble using Acronis to image an Ubuntu server.
