I followed instructions on clonezilla website. first tried tuxboot. used tuxboot with iso and also thru their auto download. i also used 7 zip to extract files to the usb and ran makeboot.bat. any way i try this i see the image shown above.

I tried copying a older knoppix disc to the usb and ran makeboot.bat. when i popped it in it says some thing like cannot find kernel linux

im using a hp 6200 biz desktop .

i receive unknown command errors for find, root, and setup. .

It might help if you posted the actual commands you used to get unknown command errors.

Also might be helpful if you explained exactly what you are trying to do. The image you posted is GRUB2 prompt. I haven't used Knoppix lately, I would be surprised if it uses Grub 2 but maybe...?

You don't really have enough information to get any realistic help and I doubt many members are going to be willing to go to the clonezilla site and read through everything trying to guess what you are doing.

followed this to try and fix. instructions are for knoppix, but im using clonezilla. i suspect its the same issue but clonezilla doesn't provide the utils to allow the fix.

i tried method a and b using web addy below. i didnt really expect ppl to read the instructs and repeat. i wanted to let you know what i already tried so you dont tell me to do it again. Pls help fix grub.

The first link in your last post is to a site explaining how to install Knoppix to usb. Is that what you are trying to do? Did you copy the three files from Knoppix to the usb? It starts at step 5, I didn't see a link to a page with the first four steps but didn't look that hard?? The examples it gives for drives are incorrect. It will not show (sd1,0) but rather (hd1,0) as an example. The commands referenced on the page are regarding Grub Legacy. The image in your first post is output from Grub2, which is a totally different version of the bootloader and the commands from that page will not work with Grub2.

So where does the Grub2 come in?
What are the first four steps?
What exactly are your intentions?
If you simply want Knoppix or some other version of Linux on a USB, I would suggest using unetbootin or pendrivelinux. Just google either for information on them.

I have made some clonezilla usb's but always from linux, not windows and it worked everytime. If you have already have a knoppix cd, why dont you boot your computer with it and use the linux instructions:
a) insert usb
b) format usb
c) copy clonezilla files to usb
d) change directory to the tool/linux folder
e) run makeboot.sh /dev/sdxx <- usb device.

and thats it. Good luck
