Title: How to prepare a SD card using Windows?
Post by: IWriteCode on February 20, 2013, 09:03:15 PM
Does anyone know how one can prepare an SD card using Windows?

The linux version is on the website, but I assume it should be possible to do this using Windows as well:

Anyone any suggestions? I can't find a partition tool which allows me to make a 0x53 type partition...

With a Linux virtual machine running on your Windows, you can reduce the problem into preparing an SD card using Linux.

Maybe also cygwin could help with the partitions ?
But virtual machine way is better.
