Milhouse: Your latest instructions for resolving this problem seem clear and excellent, a praiseworthy characteristic of all your contributions to this forum. Fortunately, however, my fumbling resolution to my difficulties as reported a bit earlier in this thread have achieved substantively the same outcome as you propose for the 4GB card, and as I've already loaded up data on the FAT portion of the card, I'll just let matters stand as at present. However, for others who are perhaps encountering the same problem from the wiki as I did, your new solutions should really simplify things for them.

On my earlier cloning of my 2 GB card, which following your instructions was highly successful -- I've now remembered the reason for that (which I had momentarily forgotten when sending off my previous message referring to the 2 GB card). For that cloning, I hadn't used the wiki instructions for partitioning but instead had partitioned my card using gparted. But for the 4 GB card, I'm currently away from home and didn't have my usual ready access to gparted.

Anyway, problem solved, for myself and I assume as well as for similarly affected others, and again my many thanks. Regards, Jim
