Who is the VMWare expert?

Maybe it can't use the USB because no vmware tools have been installed yet. Can you create a bootable ISO of Clonezilla? VMware is designed for cloning, any reason you dont use VMware to clone the disk or VM? You could also create a VM disk with what you need and mount it to the VM as a separate disk.

I have the bootable clonezilla ISO that loads, it connects to my USB drive that has the image to clone but it wont install. I do it all day long on actually linux machines, just never on a vm. We are using clonezilla because it is for roughly 50 individual timeclocks a day and at the time we started cloning our company was cheap and didnt want to pay for the vmware license to allow cloning. Let me mess around with it and take some screenshots.
