Who is the VMWare expert?

Ok I finally got the upgrade downloaded and installed. I still cant get clonezilla to install the clonezilla image correctly. Here are some screenshots.

USB with the clonezilla image I need to install. This is basically just a Linux OS.

Clonezilla iso connects to the vm just fine.

If you're trying to restore a clonezilla image from the usb drive to the virtual disk in the VM, it may be that you need to format the virtual destination drive first?

Have you tried to put the image on a network share and browse to it? this was always the best option for me for storage and performance. I'm a MS guy, so Linux mostly looks like chicken scratch to me. The USB (virtual drive) must be emulated, and Clonezilla may not be able to do that properly. It you copy your cloned image to a newly created VM disk it will appear as a second "local" drive and therefore not require USB emulation. Give up on USB and go "local" or "network" through Clonezilla.

If you have the original machine running VMware converter may still work. The only release for Linux is 4.0.1 but is still downloadable, for Windows you can use the latest. Converter will connect to the machine and convert it to a VM. You can the create a copy and open it in Workstation/Player/ESX. If you are on a Windows host for Workstation the Converter will work like a snap-in and can run through VMware Workstation.

This worked. Thank you!

Now to the real problem, I have downloaded atleast 10 font styles for japanese but I am still getting incorrectly encoded characters on the screen. I know this is a shot in the dark, but anyone know how to fix this? We only have like 3 people in our company who knows any advanced skills for linux and none of us can figure it out. This works on a windows machine just not linux.

Ive looked on StackOverflow already but no luck.
