Compact Flash with 2 partitions howto coppy ?

[123funske]

Hi everybody,
I need to copy more then 500 cf-cards. Managed to do it with HDD raw copy tool. But...
I'm looking to automate this job.
Is there a commandline interface to copy for ex. 2 partitions to a new cf-card?
This is how de cf-card is partitionned:

Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Primary 11 MB 31 KB
Partition 0 Extended 992 MB 11 MB
Partition 0 Logical 992 MB 11 MB

DISKPART>

Does anyone know how to clone this disk in a way that can be automated.. ?

Thanks for the effort,

Regards,

You could use DD in Linux.

+1 for DD, and a bash script or whatever.

make sure you test the first ones, and also test if you have any different SD Cards, even slight differences.

I had issues with cloning/re-imaging cards that were slightly smaller than the original, as they are not all the same size, they are best described as approxiamately the same size.

Thanks for u reply's.
I'm a windows guy,.... is there a windows equivalent for dd ??

I have to dig into it otherwise, use a bootable linux.
w'll see.. .

funnily enough if you chuck "windows equivalent for dd " you do get some options

I think I saw a dd for windows quite a while ago, so you may be lucky. But if you need to use a Linux boot CD I think it shouldn't be too bad to get it figured out. you can always post your challenges back here to get where you need.
good luck
