hi mike.

excellent, i'm glad you managed to download the files. if you try to change the boot priority using the HW setup utility to USB CD first, perhaps that would allow you to boot arch? you could boot it on your netbook just as a test to see if it indeed does allow you to change bios settings. good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hello Mo,

I have successfully downloaded the ISO image and the guide.
I have recently purchased some CDs from amazon
and a USB cd drive since the internal CD drive in my Thinkpad machine no longer seems to work.
This will be interesting since having worked out how to burn an image
and plugged in the USB drive I will find out something about the boot order for devices.
The thinkpad has no such software as the HW Setup on my Toshiba netbook
so I may have to seek sighted assistance.
I will also try to get some help to discover how thid HW Setup software
works on my Toshiba netbook.
However, I am excited about this project and look forward to getting started.

I will now start to have a good look at the guide.

Many thanks,

Mike.

Hello Everyone.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's expressed an interest in testing my guide for how to use clone zilla. you'll find all the information you need below. if people would also like to have a chat via voice, i do have a ventrilo server that we can use if people are interested. there are clients for most operating systems and because its accessible and push to talk, there's noone talking over each other. the guide for clonezilla was written with inexperienced users in mind, so please persevere with it i know most of you are advanced users. also, feel free to ask any questions on list if something's unclear, no matter your level of experience no question is stupid.

download link for the iso image:

please be sure to save the iso image to your computer as opposed to clicking on run.

Good luck!

all the best,
