Creating a Disk Image of Zotac ZBOX ID41 with Clonezilla

INTRODUCTION
The Clonezilla site is:
http://clonezilla.org/

I will not repeat the documentation here.

I only want to describe how I managed to boot Clonezilla from an USB attached to Zotac ZBOX ID41.


PROBLEM
I got a problem when trying to boot a USB memory stick with Clonezilla on it in order to create an Image of my yaVDR 0.3 Installation before trying to install the version 0.4 of yaVDR.


After the splash screen and having chosen the default boot method, I got a black screen.
On other computers the USB stick booted whithout problem.

I also tried other versions of Clonezilla without success (somethines I did not got even the splash screen, but only a blinking cursor).

SOLUTION
I downloaded clonezilla-live-20120127-oneiric.iso (from Download alternative stable releases) installed it (as in my other tries as described) with Tuxboot and inserted it in the front USB port.

ABOUT CLONEZILLA
I often use Clonezilla in order to create Disk / Partition images of my Computers without problem. It works perfectly performing images of Linux and Windows (XP / Vista) (FAT32 / NTFS). The interface is character oriented, but it does what you want.
