Before starting, make a clone of the VirtualBox machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 01 – Add Bootable Clonezilla ISO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modify the VirtualBox settings to add the boot ISO for clonezilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Notice that the IDE has clonezilla.iso added<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 02 – Start Virtual Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the machine boots up, you should see the clonezilla startup menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 03 – select language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 04 – Select default keyboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 05 – stuck on keyboard setup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was not sure what to do at this point, so I researched a bit to see if others had a solution. First I tried this link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/p\/clonezilla\/discussion\/Clonezilla_live\/thread\/ab9b8d6957\/?limit=25<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wasn’t helpful, so I tried pressing Ctrl-C and it skipped to the next step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 06 – Start clonezilla <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure if the next steps will work or not as a result of pressing Ctrl-C. This is the screen that came up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 07 – Select device-image <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It appears that pressing Ctrl-C did not cause a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The instructions on this page are important. I’m interested in creating an image that I can move to a physical device. so I’m selecting the first option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just occurred to me that I read somewhere that the VirtualBox disk image needs to be fixed instead of dynamic. I chose dynamic, so I may have to start over. I’ll try anyway just to see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 08 – Select local-dev<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I want to put this image on a USB thumb drive, so I’m selecting local-dev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 09 – Mount point for image?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I had my USB drive inserted already, but since the message at the bottom of this screenshot said to insert *now* I removed and reinserted. I waited about 5 seconds, then pressed enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 10 – Insert USB Drive and select<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m having trouble with this step. My host computer detects the USB drive, but my VirtualBox does not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 11 – Tell VirtualBox to use USB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I just realized that there is an option within the VirtualBox menu to select a USB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This worked! The USB drive showed up after about 5 seconds when selecting that USB drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 12 – Detect USB thumb drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

See the USB drive is \/dev\/sdb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 13 – select USB drive for image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is an important note here to select the USB drive which was detected in the prior step as sdb1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 14 – select destination on USB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do not have any folders, so I just select \/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tabbed over to Done and pressed enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 15 – Confirm \/home\/partimag <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation of destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 16 – Select Beginner Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I just realized that my screenshots to not have an asterisk next to the option, but if I press tab, the option selected is blue. In this screenshot I forgot to press tab and just pressed enter, but it worked. Fortunately it was the option I wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 17 – Save as image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 18 – filename for image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I changed the filename to include the machine name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 19 – select source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 20 – Option to repair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m choosing not to do the repair. Not necessary probably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 21 – Oops – check readable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m missing a screenshot here because I accidently skipped past. the option said to check if readable. sorry about the missing screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 22 – Encrypt the image?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m choosing not to encrypt the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 23 – Choose Reboot or Shutdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m choosing to shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 24 – Confirm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are some instructions about future command to run at the bottom of the screenshot. Pressed enter to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 25 – Another confirmation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pressed y to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 26 – Let’s do it!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of screens that automatically go by, but I was unable to capture them all. This screenshot is running and shows the progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
