Getting Images onto smaller cards - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi gents/ladies,

@ point, every lady/gent find sd card configured how needs project work, , want make backup.

worthy goal, writing config files when don't need mugs game.

needed myself, found win32diskimager tool using full size of card image, not space used.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

annoyed me because had been impatient when got rpi's , used camera sd cards intentions of buying cheap 4-8 gb cards later.

bought cards today, , use images on them, didn't appear possible.

solution found use minitool partition wizard.

http://download.cnet.com/minitool-parti ... 62200.html

did plug in card wanted up, , on smaller card.

plugged in usb memory stick (i didn't have 2 card reader spots)

copied partitions sdcard memory stick, replaced 64gb sdcard cheaper 8gb sdcard , copied usb memory stick sdcard.

works. able go whatever lowest value card can take partition information.

once have on lowest value card fit on, can use win32diskimager make image backup @ smaller size.

favour because if want share projects people less bandwidth, , greater accessibility using smaller card sizes.

is http://download.cnet.com/minitool-parti ... 62200.html ? tool talking about?

saying let downsize existing rpi cards smaller ones (assuming we've left enough unused space of course) ?
