clonezilla (disk imaging) quickstart

[NOTE: I have found Paragon Backup & Recovery tool to be better fit for me, and really like it:  http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/]

Steps for setting up Clonezilla an a USB thumb drive:
  • go to http://tuxboot.org/download.php
  • click Files on SourceForge
  • download tuxboot*.exe (or other, depending on your currently booted OS)
  • run tuxboot
  • the defaults are good usually:
    • clonezilla_live_stable chosen
    • no Pre Downloaded images selected
    • MD5 Check selected
    • Type: USB
    • Drive should be already the USB drive you have plugged in
  • hit OK
