I came across the same problem and I had to use sudo in front like this sudo grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/media/MULTIPASS /dev/sdb

try using WinSetupFromUSB...

I used WinSetupFromUSB to add windows 7 and windows xp pro to my Multipass...

I finely got clonezilla and gparted to work....

I hope this will help others in this Forum...

I just now try boot it using the ISO and is still does the same thing... I really want to get it going on my multipass. I try googling it myself before I started to post in here and could not make heads or tails about it... it just means I need to keep on trying out things to see if I can get it working..

yes it does but it does it when it trys to look at the multipass as a drive and it is FAT32... I tryed it on both computers that I have which one has windows 7 and the other has windows XP Pro SP3...

do you mean I need to check each file in my clonezilla and gparted folders for the for that ASCII characters filenames then rename them??? I don't really want to do that so I will see if mounting the iso will work... thank you for your help...

yea that could work but that does not help me with the FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO for FAT Filesystems, Filesystem will be case sensitive error that clonezilla and gparted keeps giving me... plus the WinSetupFromUSB_0-2-3 make it easy to get the windows setups to work...

Ok this is my first time posting in this forum... Yes I am also a noob with the USB Multipass. The problem that I am having is when I try to boot clonezilla or gparted I get a error saying now I did read all 19 pages of this post and tried all that I found but none of them worked... all of my menu.lst are as follows My Main Menu root (hd0,0) configfile /winsetup.lst savedefault Hiren's BootCD root (hd0,0) kernel /HBCD/memdisk initrd /HBCD/boot.gz title Offline NT Passwd Reset root (hd0,0) kernel /ntpasswd/vmlinuz rw vga=1 initrd=/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz /ntpasswd/scsi.cgz title DBAN (Darik's Book and Nuke) map --mem /dban.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Kon-Boot map (hd0,0)/konboot.img (fd0) map --hook map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) title FreeNAS map --mem /FreeNAS.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Vista Recovery Disk map (hd0,0)/VistaRecoveryDisc32.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title SpinRite 6 map --mem /SpinRite.img (fd0) map --hook map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 rootnoverify (fd0) title Reboot reboot My Windows Setup Menu (which I used Win Setup From USB that someone said to use but don't remember who) default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=/billpordiosero.xpm.gz title First part of Windows XP Professional setup root (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)/$WIN_NT$.~BT/SETUPLDR.BIN savedefault 1 title Second part of Windows XP Professional setup root (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)/NTLDR savedefault My Memtest86 Menu default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=/darthvader.xpm.gz title Memtest86 version 3.5 kernel /memtest86/ISOLINUX/MEMTEST title Memtest86 version 3.4 kernel /memtest86/ISOLINUX/MEMTEST.34 title Memtest86 experimental SMP version of 3.5 kernel /memtest86/ISOLINUX/MEMTEST.SMP My Gparted Menu (will boot but gives me the FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO for FAT Filesystems, Filesystem will be case sensitive error) default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=/darthvader.xpm.gz title GParted Live kernel /gparted/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia initrd /gparted/live/initrd1.img title GParted Live (To RAM) kernel /gparted/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 toram=filesystem.squashfs ip=frommedia initrd /gparted/live/initrd1.img title GParted Live without framebuffer kernel /gparted/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt ip=frommedia vga=normal initrd /gparted/live/initrd1.img title GParted Live failsafe mode kernel /gparted/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt acpi=off irqpoll noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nosmp ip=frommedia vga=normal initrd /gparted/live/initrd1.img title mainmenu root (hd0,0) configfile /menu.lst savedefault My Clonezilla Menu (will boot but gives me the FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO for FAT Filesystems, Filesystem will be case sensitive error) default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=/darthvader.xpm.gz title Clonezilla live kernel /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs nolocales noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="" ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="" vga=791 ip=frommedia initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd1.img title Clonezilla live 800x600 kernel /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs nolocales noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="" ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="" vga=788 ip=frommedia initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd1.img title Clonezilla live 640x480 kernel /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs nolocales noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="" ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="" vga=785 ip=frommedia initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd1.img title Clonezilla live (To RAM) kernel /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs nolocales noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="" ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="" vga=791 toram=filesystem.squashfs ip=frommedia initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd1.img title Clonezilla live failsafe mode kernel /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz1 boot=live union=aufs nolocales noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="" ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="" acpi=off irqpoll noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nosmp ip=frommedia vga=normal initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd1.img title mainmenu root (hd0,0) configfile /menu.lst savedefault My Ophcrack Menu DEFAULT 0 TIMEOUT 30 splashimage=/darthvader.xpm.gz title Ophcrack Graphic mode -
