Re: Trying to get the team on CAD

Ah. I got the normalization working, and right now I'm imaging the disk to a file.
So far my steps were
  1. Follow this guide http://ftanada.wordpress.com/2009/02...ckflash-drive/*
  2. Install Inventor
  3. Generalize the OS
  4. Boot Clonezilla, save image
  5. Restore image to Flash Drive with Clonezilla

*Changes to Guide in my case
I Used a physical disk, partitioned to have one same-size minus 1GB as the flash disk (of what the computer sees, not what is on the label, my 32 GB drive was actually 30.9 GB, so, partition was 29.9 GB), and another occupying the rest of the disk space. Formatted both as NTFS, named the additional space (The second partition) "Image Cache" and the 29.9 GB "Windows"

Clonezilla, image the "Windows" partition to the "Image Cache" partition, then restore it to the USB drive. (My reason for imaging is so that if I need to make duplicates, it's very easy)

If you were being clever, you could get a 500GB hard disk, chop it into 5 partitions
(Windows installer disk, Windows install partition, Image cache, Clonezilla, and a universal bootloader) and make a laptop that you simply can set up, image, and prepare for restore without any external drives.
