Hi all!
I'm trying Clonezilla for the first time after reading a lot about it. Downloaded the clonezilla-live-2.4.6-25-amd64.zip Live ZIP file. My system is set to UEFI boot, OS is OpenSuse Leap 42.1. Installed first on an usb stick (flash drive). --> WORKS FINE <-- When system initially start to boot, "F8" leads to a boot menu, where the Clonezilla Live usb stick is shown as an UEFI boot option with the name of the usb stick's manufacturer. Selecting it, boots Clonezilla Live. Tried the same to install on a partition on the designated backup usb hdd, following the doc on http://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php, "GNU/Linux Method B: Manual". --> DOES NOT BOOT <-- When system initially start to boot, "F8" leads to a boot menu. Doing this the with the USB disk plugged in for the FIRST TIME, my system detects 2 additional (new) UEFI boot options, both with the name of the disk manufacturer (HGST). When selecting one of these uefi boot options, screen goes black for a short moment, and then the uefi based grub2 menu of my system's ssd starts, with the OpenSuse system. This happens ONLY ONCE, when rebooting (even after a power off), DOES NOT show again the two usb hdd uefi boot options anymore. Any ideas why my usb hdd does not boot the Clonezilla live system? Clonezilla's doc says: "Ensure that the partition starts on a cylinder boundary" - how do I check this?? FYI: Output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" Festplatte /dev/sdb: 3,7 TiB, 4000786149376 Bytes, 976754431 Sektoren Einheiten: Sektoren von 1 * 4096 = 4096 Bytes Sektorgröße (logisch/physikalisch): 4096 Bytes / 4096 Bytes E/A-Größe (minimal/optimal): 4096 Bytes / 4096 Bytes Festplattenbezeichnungstyp: dos Festplattenbezeichner: 0xf5c3715a Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdb1 63 976575347 976575285 3,7T 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sdb2 * 976575488 976754430 178943 699M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) FYI also: The 699M EFI partition was created after the NTFS partition (/dev/sdb1) was shrinked from "whole disk" to the current size. Both the NTFS and the EFI FAT32 partition, or exactly their file systems, have been checked with MS WIN "CHKDSK /F", no errors found for both. Any hints would be great !!!
