Hello everyone,
I have a request for information.
I am finding it problematic to write SD card images at this time. DD on linux
works but is extremely slow (slower than it ought to be - probably due to the
card reader/writer) being an external USB model.
I really want to find a quicker, reliable way to write images on Windows. I
have a built-in card reader/writer in the Windows laptop and I believe this
will work well with the right software. I don't want to install linux as a
virtual or secondary operating system on the laptop though.
Since it won't boot linux from CD or flashdisk, this means I need a Windows
based SD card image writing program until I can upgrade one of the linux
computers to have a built-in card reader/writer.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The Wiki says roadkill, but google won't
bring anything up on my attempts to find a program called roadkill.
The only other program I have found is from a website from a gentleman named
Alex, and I'm now certain his software doesn't work correctly for image writing.
