are there any logs of what happens on the disk. something like dmesg, but i think dmesg is just for boot output.

i could try clonezilla, can it save to a windows share?
I'm not positive about that. I've always used it locally to an external hard drive. I do remember when you hit the screen to select where the image gets saved there are a few options. I remember seeing Samba Server, SSH Server, and 2 or 3 others. I always just chose the default (local drive) and shot the image over to that. It's worth a shot to check out though, after all it's a free ISO and 1 blank CD. Maybe you'll catch some luck with it.
