Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:52 am

the SD delivered by the vendor, works fine on 4GB card

when copy the contents on PC to a 16 GB SD
/ microSD Samsung Class 10 (part No: X000BF2LOX from amazon)

formatted properties/quick format/ Fat32
the 16GB SD give error on start
not finding the correct files!!!

1- could we make copy of the functioning SD to another SD?
2- does SD have to be same size or different size does not matter?

!!what the correct way to make a copy f the vendor SD or back up purpose

I have to assume you are using Windows but there are similar for Mac.

Windows option
Look at using Win32DiskImage with the read option to create an image file of your original card then use the Win32DiskImage write to write that image to your new card It will take a while.

Theres a load of stuff on the wiki re-this.
Noob is not derogatory the noob is just the lower end of the noob--geek spectrum being a noob is just your first step towards being an uber-geek ;)

If you find a solution please post it in the wiki the forum dies too quick
