Please help me. I wanted to make a complete raw copy of my old 8GB SDHC card that I had in my Samsung Galaxy S2 onto a brand new Medion 32 GB card. So I used HDD Raw Copy Tool and made a copy of the 8GB to a file and then copied that onto the new 32GB, but now the latter shows as 8GB in size in the PC and on my phone as well. What is there to be done. I tried formatting it in windows 7 the short and the long way... Please help me!

I used the SD Formatter on https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ to format to the original size...

Yes, but that means that HDD Raw Copy Tool ins't very usefull for making a clone of an SD card...if you have to format it afterwards.

Some cloning tools (eg Acronis True Image) will allow you to expand the partition to fill the target drive. The HDD Raw Copy Tool creates a byte-for-byte image which means that the target will be an exact copy of the source.

I use AOMEI Partition Master to re-size clones. It's free for personal and commercial use, and works very well.
