It complains that the image is too big at 1.8Gb for the stock 2Gb card i took out of the kobo device, a way of imaging the card and what to do get my kobo back working would be great i have been looking on here for hours and getting nowhere. I am not a linux guru either, i gather the card needs to be formatted ext3 hence using linux is the only route? or is there a way using windows to image the sd correctly, sorry to be a real pain...... you are providing a sterling service to help others where kobo help and support centre are both useless and really dont care and wasted 25 minutes with me yesterday......

Hi

I have Kobo Touch N905B. It works fine but wanted to make backup image of the SD card. Both USB Duplicator and Win Disk imager crash with CRC errors. I managed to make backup using HDDRawCopy portable as this ignored CRC errors. However when I tried to write to a blank SD card to see if it worked USB DuplicatorIMage writer or HDDRAWcopy both failed.

Please could I get an image download link please?

Best wishes

Please ignore my previous post. After doing factory restore on Kobo Touch and also using a different Card reader I was able to create image of file and restore onto another blank SD card so I know that it has worked. Hope that may be of use to someone else reading this! Many thanks for informative Forum.

Have a look at Memory Upgrade Mod Guide for how to do the imaging. It is for the Glo, but the basic steps and tools needed are the same. Once you have read this, if you don't understand anything come back and ask.

As to the file name, you can call it what you want.

Could use the image

David, thank you for keeping up with this page after all this time. I found the post, read through and thought there was no chance to find it still being watched after all this time.
