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.

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
