Hello. I am new to linux mint. i am trying to copy my sons driod4nook sd card which is a 8gb card to a 16gb card. its is bootable and as several partition on it. can some one please help me. i was able to do it through windows but i cant figure out how to use the full 16gb. please help
The first step would be to boot Mint, open a terminal and run this command: sudo fdisk -l(Lower case Letter L in the command)
You will be prompted for your user password, enter it and you should get output showing your drive/partitions. Have both cards plugged in before you run the command. With that information, someone should be able to give you more details
I would definitely check what partitions are first.
I'm pretty sure you could dd the entire SD card into another, then use a disk partitioning tool to resize them appropriately.
I really like parted, for anything related to disks :D and with the front end (Gparted) its the best tool i have found :D
