I’ve tried cloning SD cards without much success so I can’t say it would work but it seems like it might suit your needs if you can find the way to do it. I’d look into cloning the disk somehow, using something like Acronis or a similar disk imager (or there may be open source options available). I can’t suggest a quick fix, but note that if you check out the file/disk size properties, there’s always a discrepancy between “size” and “size on disk” so its not too surprising that you can’t render things to be exactly the same size on different media.
You are solely responsible for anything that happens as a result of using this code ? Please make 150% sure you are selecting the correct disk so you don’t format your hard drive. This hack will only work in in Vista and Win7 because diskpart in XP won’t recognize the card.īefore starting, please remember that you can seriously mess things up if you make a mistake using command line disk management.
After a few hours of online research and trial and error, I finally figured out how to do it using the windows “diskpart” utility. Unfortunately the camera only supports up to 2GB sized CompactFlash cards but local retailers only carry 4GB cards these days and I didn’t have time to order one online.
I recently had to put a new CF card in an older infrared camera for one of our field sites.
