You need a working MicroSD card reader, to do this. If the card reader is working in other programs, you may need to use a different image writing tool. Google "flash drive image writer".
Place your new MicroSD card into your computer. Again dismiss any prompts that popup.
Next, open up "Flash Drive Image Writer". Here you will select the .img file That you were sent. Also select your destination drive. Click Write Image. Read the prompt and click yes if you want to format the destination SD and continue.
Step 3. Setting up the new SD Card:
Next load up “MiniToolŪ Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.8”.
In the main area (top half), select your newly setup SD card. To verify you have the right drive, it should be set up as follows, or something close: (Unallocated) 10MB, rootfs(EXT4) 256 MB..., recoveryfs(EXT4) 256MB.., KOBOeReader (FAT32) 1.33 GB.., (Unallocated) [however big the rest of your sd card is. 5.9GB for the 8GB card in the pictures].
Select the KOBOeReader drive (either in the upper or lower half).
Right click it and select Extend.
From here move the slider all the way to the right. You should see a total of both the unallocated space and the KOBOeReader partition. In the case of my pictures, it’s 7.19GB for the 8GB sd card.
You’ll see at the bottom of this window that the new size of Unallocated will be 0.00KB, that’s how you know you’ve done it right. Click OK.
Verify that the unallocated space at the end of the SD card is no longer there and that the KOBOeReader partition is taking up the bulk of the SD card.
Click Apply in the upper left of the application and yes to the prompt AFTER reading it ;-)
It will go through it’s process. It hangs a bit at the end, that’s normal. Click OK once it’s done.
Luck;
Ken
