This is a good reason for NOT using oversized SD cards to be honest.Īt the moment I am using a pair of Aldi 8Gb cards for experimenting with and having got a good base setup using the first card in my third Pi I created an 8Gb ,img file.
img file - takes a long time and takes up a lot of space. img file will be the same size as your SD card - so if its a 16Gb card, you'll end up with a 16Gb. img file onto a new card - the two cards do need to the same size OR the new one be bigger than the old oneīut do beware the. Stick with win32diskimager and as said just take an image copy off your original sd card onto your hard driveĪnd then use win32diskimager again to restore your.
