Hi Peter, > I used gparted first to clean out all partitions and leave them blank. A disk is logically just a sequence of bytes. It's convention that some at the beginning are used to "partition" the remainder, like the contents page of a book. Since the image you're copying onto these disks

[Dorset] Using DD to write image file for R-pi problems

Hi, I am trying to create systems for my Raspberry Pi on MicroSD cards, but not having any luck. I am using a USB to SD card adapter, a SD card to MicroSD card adapter, and aKinsgston 8GB Class 4 Micro SD card. I use Gparted to create a primary ext4 partition on the uSD card, and this
