As is well-known, some compactflash cards work great out of the box in a Muvo2, many do not. I have a Sandisk 512mb compactflash card that is working great. I have a Simpletech 512mb card that doesn't work.
People have claimed that if you do a bit-wise copy of the original 4gb compactflash drive that comes in the Muvo2 (I don't have one), you can get these non-working compactflash cards to work...
So now I'm thinking that if that's true, then maybe if I do a bitwise backup of my working Sandisk card to the non-working Simpletech card, the Simpletech card will work.
However...how do I do the bit-wise copy? I have tried Ghost 2003...I can use a Dazzle USB compactflash reader, and Ghost sees the card in DOS mode. But it won't let me copy the card (probably because it doesn't have a recognized structure).
Can this be done easily in Linux? If so, would the preference be to use the USB reader, or to use a compactflash PCMCIA adapter? How would you go about it in either case? I guess using the dd command...but how specifically? Does Linux have innate support for a compactflash PCMCIA adapter? (I would be talking about one of those Linux-on-a-bootable-CD distros; I am not going to be installing Linux on the laptop I'd use with the PCMCIA adapter...)
