 The Non Traditional Way to clone from Linux/Ubuntu Desktop/Laptop to VM  VM = VMware Workstation. Reason :  I tried CloneZilla or Traditional DD commands. it was taking lot of time and was confusing. The method shown here is working for me. It may or may not for you.

To boot into live version , you need to use few softwares 1 - Live CD as iso or live cd. 2 - Boot order setup optio
