Burning a .iso file to my microSD card

I have been using Win32 Disk Imager to get the Raspbian OSs onto the SD cards for my RPis and the extension it uses is .img, not .iso.

I now want to get the Windows10_InsiderPreview_IoTCore_RPi_ARM32_en-us_14295.1000.iso file on a SD card to use on my RPi 3. How do I get this on my SD card?

Re: Micro SD Card and Win 32 Disk Imager

This image written to the SD card is of a 4GB filesystem, so when you boot it for the first time, that is all it can see. Then you run raspi-config either from the command line "sudo raspi-config" or from the GUI. One of the first options it gives you is to expand the filesystem to cover the whole ...

Re: Micro SD Card and Win 32 Disk Imager

This is perfectly normal. The card gets divided up into different parts (partitions). The first (small) part is the bit that contains the initial boot files. There is another larger part that contains all the Raspbian Linux files. Windows refuses to acknowledge the existence of anything other that ...

Micro SD Card and Win 32 Disk Imager

I’m using a Samsung 32GB EVO MicroSD HC I, and I used SD Formatter to format it using Full Erase and no Size Adjustment. When finished, it showed 29.8GB. It shows up in Windows Explorer as 31,991,955,456 bytes. Everything great so far, right? I then used Win32 Disk Imager to burn “2016-03-18-raspbia...

Re: What programming tools do I need to get?

Thank you everyone for your replies. To rpdom: So, you're saying that the best way to program the Pi is from inside the Raspbian environment itself? That is so different from what I'm used to! I can adapt for sure. On further reflection, I guess it's not so different from writing a VB application fo...

What programming tools do I need to get?

Hi! I am new to RPi, but not new to programming. I have programmed with Visual Basic, C, C++ and others in the PC environments and also used C++ on the Arduino platform. I have delved into all the different Python IDEs and it looks like it's going to take a long time to sift through all the stuff to...

B+ Schematic

Hi Everyone, I am new to the Raspberry Pi - I just got my B+ yesterday. I am not new to electronics or embedded hardware and programming having worked with PICs and Arduino's. About 2 weeks ago, when I ordered my Pi, I went to the Schematics Page | Model B+ | -Revision 1.2, and got the Raspberry-Pi-...
