I am trying to replace the memory card on my kobo mini in windows (xp) I have the 3 programs usb duplicator image creator and writer and the partitioning software but I can't even get to step 1

when I open the image creator I can set a destination image file but I can not select a source removable disk drive. it simply does nothing when I click that box or the drop down button.

same in the writer program. I can select a source file (I don't have one yet of course) but I can not select a destination drive. I assume it should list the drives in that larger window and I select my desired removable disc. I thought it was my mSD reader unit so I tried something different (stuck the cards into an 808 cam) no joy. no change.

suggestions?

I think I found a solution

one program for imagine and writing the image. its writing the image now will report back if it works or not :-)

Worked a treat NO problems. installed the 16gb card rebooted the device and flawless.

14219mb now :-) nice :-)
