Download Win32DiskImager from the Raspberry Pi Downloads Page or from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download
Insert your SD Card and then run Win32DiskImager.exe. It may give an error message on startup, but you can often ignore it. It should find your SD Card drive or if not select it. Select the file '#.img' image file you wish to use and then press write. Once it completes you are ready to go, insert your SD card into the Raspberry Pi.
If you prefer, you can store photos and videos outside the Photos library—for example, in a folder on your Mac or on an external hard drive—and still view them in Photos. If you ever need to move content stored outside the library into your Photos library, you can do that, too. Annotate an image in Preview on Mac You can use the editing tools in the Markup toolbar to mark up an image file, providing feedback or pointing out something you want to remember. If the image is on a page in a PDF file and you want to comment on only the image, you can extract the image as. System image is still alive.for now, anyway. Sarah Jacobsson Purewal/CNET One thing that's noticeably missing from the new Windows 10 Settings menu is the system image backup utility. WinImage is a shareware tool to help you create, edit and generally work with various image types. At first glance the program seems a little dated. Click File New, for instance, and you'll find a lengthy list of options for building floppy disk images. My advice would to be to use TransMac for PCMac transfers. Like Winimage, TransMac is shareware and comes with a 30 day trial period. Format a floppy in your Macintosh then put this into the PC drive. Use Transmac to drag and drop.bin and.hqx files onto the Macintosh formatted disk in that drive.
Writing Your Own Custom SD Card Setup To A File
Run Win32DiskImager.exe
Ensure the Device drop down box has the drive your card is inserted into.
Press the folder button and select the folder and filename you want to use to write your image file to.
Press the Read button.
Example Instructions To Email To Someone
Here's the instructions to install your SD card ready for the Raspberry Pi.
1. Download and install Win32 Disk Imager from this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download
Unzip it.
2. Download the following file to a computer with at least <<<#>>>GB of free disk space.
<<<<LINK TO YOUR FILE >>>>>
Unzip it (this may take a while as its a large file to match the size of the SD card)
3. Plug the SD card into a SD card slot or adaptor for your PC.
4. Run the unzipped Win32DiskImager.exe application (may just be shown as Win32DiskImager depending on your windows settings)
Winimage 32
Ensure the correct driver letter is selected for the SD card – double check this is right in Windows Explorer as Win32DiskImager will overwrite the entire drive without warning if the wrong drive is selected!
Select the unzipped <<<<YOUR FILE NAME>>>.img file
Press Write and wait for the program to write the operating system onto the SD card.
5. Once the writing is done plug the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and power it up.
'Not enough space on disk' error
You created an image file from a 8GB SD card and when you try and write it to a new 8GB SD card you get this message. Yep, SD cards are not always identical in size and Win32 Disk Imager currently has no way to solve this.
Winimage Alternative
For example:
Image file: 15564800 sectors x 512 bytes per sector = 7,969,177,600 bytes
SD card: 15523840 sectors x 512 bytes per sector = 7,948,206,080 bytes
So we need to limit the space used on the card to fit within the number of sectors available. If you want pick a smaller size to give you an bit of unused space for possibly smaller future cards.
Then follow the guide here.
SmartVersion is a new shareware from Gilles Vollant (info@smartversion.com), the creator of WinImage.
SmartVersion is a tool for storing multiple versions of your files inside SmartVersion Files (SVF files). You may then send these SVF files to your end-users. Your end-users can use SmartVersion to extract the version they desire from the SVF files and update their product. You may also customize exactly which versions are delivered to your end-users.
SmartVersion uses intelligent compression and file comparison algorithms. Only the changes between the different product versions are stored in the SVF files. This eliminates redundant data in your SVF files and makes sure the patches you create for new versions of your products are as small as possible.
For some file's types (such as text file, HTML files, Word Processing files...), it takes a significant smaller disk space than compressing each version individually.
SmartVersion, unlike other patching schemes, is not limited to working with software products, or providing single version upgrades.
Just download and try SmartVersion!
Real world usage example:
1) A Book writer
Let's say you're working on a book. How can SmartVersion help you?
As the author, you can use SmartVersion to store several versions of the file of your book. Let's assume you work with an editor who reviews and modifies your work. Your editor has a slow connection to the Internet, which complicates matters when you are emailing him files of your book.
The first time you send the book to your editor, you will send a SmartVersion file which contains only one version of the book (an empty patch, which will be exactly the same size as a ZIP file of your book file). The editor does take a lot of time to download the book, but with SmartVersion, this is the only time he will suffer for the duration of the project.
So moving along, your editor makes some changes to the book, and adds a new version of the book with his changes to the SmartVersion file (adds a new version to a patch). As he makes further changes, he adds those to the SmartVersion file as well. When he wants to correspond with you to send you his best copy, he makes a new SmartVersion file which contains just his changes (a minimal patch with a version subset). In this way, your editor obtains a very small SmartVersion file that he has no trouble at all sending back to you, even over his slow Internet connection.
Finally, when you receive the file, you open it with SmartVersion. SmartVersion asks you for the location of file of the first version of this patch (specifying an existing version folder), and then lets you extract your editors latest version with all his changes.
2) A Webmaster
A webmaster designs a web site. Sometimes, he experiments with several different styles on his site, and wants to be able go back if the modifications are not satisfactory.
Each day, he adds the current version on the SmartVersion file for his web site. On days when he tries several modifications, he saves several versions of the web site inside the SmartVersion file (adding new versions to a patch). The website contains a lot of HTML files and images in the form of JPGs and GIFs, all contained inside the SmartVersion file.
Before the webmaster discovered SmartVersion, he had created 10 ZIP files containing 10 different versions of his website. But now, he just creates a single SmartVersion file with all these 10 versions. He imports his exising ZIP files (adding new versions to a patch) into a new SmartVersion file (starting with an empty patch). And he discovers that while the ZIP files together took up 10 MB, the SmartVersion file just takes 2.5 MB of space, and neatly contains all his website versions!
When he is done with his site, our webmaster has a SmartVersion file with, say 40 versions. At any time, he can extract one or several files from any of the versions (extracting versions from a patch). Let's say he wants to keep an archive of the evolution of his web site...but he doesn't want to keep all the versions of the site either...no problem! The webmaster selects the, say 10 versions he wants to keep, and then creates a new SmartVersion file for safekeeping (building partial patches).
