Description
I'm trying to write a Clonezilla iso image of a Windows system to a USB. Mintstick is detecting this as a Windows image (it kind of is) but it's not an image that boots into Windows. It's really a Linux image with a payload of a Windows image.
I get the reason that Mintstick shouldn't just write images to boot into Windows, but there really needs to be a way to override the write blockage. A "we don't recommend this, but write it anyway" option.
Either that or an improved "detect Windows" routine.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Clonezilla Windows-image case in Mintstick and reviewing the image-detection and write-blocking entry points. Decide whether the issue should be addressed with an explicit override or improved detection; done means the image can be handled safely without blocking valid Clonezilla media.
