Hello all;
I got unexpected results when I used Win32DiskImager to create an image of a uSD card I had just prepared. It seems that no two 8GB uSD cards have EXACTLY the same number of bytes, do if you make a back up image of a uSD card that is just slightly bigger than another 8GB card (even from the same manufacturer) then you can't copy it to the smaller card. To get around this problem, I used fdisk to create an installation that was about 6GB in size. When fdisk asked for the last sector I gave it a size of "+6000GB" instead of accepting the default. I thought that by doing this I would end up with a ~6GB image from Win32DiskImager. Instead, I got an 8GB image. (The approximate size of the uSD card I used.) Am I doing something wrong here, or should I try and using Linux "DD" instead ?? I have never used "DD" before. Thanks again; Bill "No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."
