Hi,

I have Zorin 16.2 Linux and wish to clone the drive so I can uodate Zorin.

I have a USB drive plugged into the Linux box and have downloaded Clonezilla which I hope to use to clone the drive.

I have extracted etcher zip to the usb and given etcher in the Linux box permission for the exe and after ‘Flash Drive’ it say it looks like it is not bootable because it does no contain a partition table.

How can I correct this please?

Thank you

Are you trying to install “Clonezilla Live” on your USB flash drive? If so, you need to install Etcher on your Zorin drive. You can follow the steps on [Clonezilla Live on USB](https://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php) under the section “GNU/Linux Method B: Etcher”.
