Didn't see any error message details from Jeff or any indication that he found a solution, so, I'm just guessing my info is relevant. I do the same thing as Jeff with ntfsclone (compiled ntfsprogs v2.0.0 with '--enable-really-static' and use cast-o-matic to include ntfsclone, ld-linux.so.2, and libc.so.6). Basically, there's no "/etc/mtab" included/ created in the cast-o-matic PXE image, causing ntfsclone complain when try to save image file: # ntfsclone --save-image --overwrite /test.img /dev/sda ERROR(2): Failed to check '/dev/sda' mount state: No such file or directory I just included "touch /etc/mtab" in the "Commands to be executed before udpcast menu:" and then ntfsclone works.
