Another useless answer from Dougie becuase he failed to read the question properly.DougieLawson wrote:Have you tried formatting those cards with the SD Assoc. card formatter? Or format them in your camera, phone or tablet?
Hardly, since that will determine whether the SDCards are end-of-life and need to be dropped in the bin.drgeoff wrote:Another useless answer from Dougie becuase he failed to read the question properly.DougieLawson wrote:Have you tried formatting those cards with the SD Assoc. card formatter?

When writing an image, the card is completely overwritten. How it was previously formatted is irrelevant.

As above I stated use PiClone all you need is an USB Card Reader and a microSD Card plugged into the RPi, not faffing around with Windows NT OS no worries with different byte sizes... Then just swap cards as and when needed, I do this weekly after updating Jessie..Brad_Pieeater wrote:Hi Guys, I have the exact same issue as the OP and I wouldn't have a clue how to write a c program to fix the issue.
I'm new to RPi and so far have managed to create a working RPi 3 Rispbian Jessie Pixel solution running Kodi. I'm happy with where I've got to so far and have created a backup of the SD card using win32diskimager. I'm now testing restoring the image to a brand new (FAT32) SD card of the exact same size but am getting the same error as the OP.
Is there a fix for a techy numpty who only has a Windows 10 laptop to sort this out, or is there an alternate backup / restore strategy which I should be using so that I can clone SD cards.
Thanks

It is in the Official Blog I linked to........Brad_Pieeater wrote:Thanks for the advice fruit. Before I order a USB card reader could you give some (very) simple instructions on how to invoke / use piclone, or post a link to instructions. I've searched the forum and the wider net but am struggling to find a "how to".
My Pi 3 boots straight to the Raspbian / Pixel desktop (the one with a picture of a road) and I can't find piclone in any of the menus. Do I need to install it or is it something used from command line.
Assuming I get piclone working will it do as I wish i.e make an exact copy of an existing card which can then be inserted straight into the same Pi or a different Pi and work immediately without any tinkering, or am I being too naive ?
Thanks for the advice and assistance, it's much appreciated by us novices.
The way I read the info on that app it does not have the ability to create an image file.fruitoftheloom wrote:Raspbian Jessie now includes PiClone SD Card Copier, no need for another machine, just a USB SDHC Card Reader:
