As others pointed out, cp works as well as dd and is simpler, no need
for obscure parameters. "No medium" found may indicate that /dev/sdb is
an empty drive or card reader, a defective drive or an "ejected" media.
The target device must be unmounted but not ejected, as this disable it
and makes it unusable for read/write operation. Unfortunately, some file
managers do not have a separate "unmount" option, only "eject" which
performs both unmount and eject.
