Hello Mo,
on the basis that no question is stupid, here goes:
I have been looking at the guide and my queries are as follows:
When you say:
Start the computer and press your up arrow key as soon as you've
pressed the on button.
do you mean
keep pressing and releasing until you hear a beep
or do you mean
hold down the up arrow until you hear a beep?
orwill either work?
You say:
next, we're asked what we want to back up. an entire disk, or a
specific partition. for this guide, its strongly recommended that you
choose to backup an entire disk, especially where windows is
concerned. this yields the most reliable restore results if you're
storing your failed system as it doesn't skip any part of the disk
being backed up. select the save disk option and press enter.
Each of my systems has a hidden partition
the purpose of which is to restore my system to its factory state.
This makes me nervous about backing up and then erasing everything
from the hard disk.
Should I be nervous here?
What is likely to happen if I just delete and restore the active partition?
Having set the restore, in motion you say:
press capslock and enter to mute speech.
Why would I want to mute speech during the restore?
What am I missing?
when the restore completes, will the system automatically attempt to
boot up into Windows?
(assuming, of course that I have removed the CD?)
Hope this does not make me too stupid!!!
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.
