It will prompt you for the source of the ISO file
and will ask you for the destination, if there is more than
one usb drive target.
I have used it without fail !!!
Great, but I do not have an ISO file. I laboriously built the card
starting with a xzcat through configuring stuff after the 1st boot. So I
guess the first step is how to make an ISO of the existing drive...

This is a Fedora arm problem, but probably more experience with dd and sd

SO I boot my Cubieboard2 from microSD. I grabbed 8 16GB cards from the bin
at the MicroCenter checkout counter. They work fine for building F21 arm
boots, but I am getting far enough into the process that if I do something
wrong, I don't want to go all the way back to the beginning. I rather clone
the card, play around, and soforth. So I tried using:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror; sync
the target sd card has been previously use. The copy fails in use as
follows:

=======================================================
I put the card back in my build system and looked at it with Gparted which
shows the whole drive as unallocated, even though the system successfully
mounted /boot (but not /).
So the question is: HOw better can I clone the card? SDFormatter in
Windows is one suggestion, but I don't want to have to jump over to the
family XP system.
thanks
