Ubuntu Sd Card Image Writer

Plug your SD-Card to your SD reader/writer. Format the SD-Card using default Windows format utility or SDFormatter Warning: Make double sure you know which device represents the SD-Card. Formatting an incorrect drive will erase all data! Use the Win32 Disk Imager GUI to select the SD-Card image file (.img) and write it. Ubuntu images (and potentially some other related GNU/Linux distributions) have a peculiar format that allows the image to boot without any further modification from both CDs and USB drives. A consequence of this enhancement is that some programs, like parted get confused about the drive's format and partition table, printing warnings such as.

My preferred method for writing an Raspberry Pi SD card image is a tool called Etcher. It is free, works on Windows, Linux and Mac and has a nice clean interface. The newer version even allows multiple SD cards to be written at the same time.

Download and Install Etcher

Etcher can be downloaded from https://www.balena.io/etcher/. The Windows version is available in Portable and Installed versions for both 32-bit and 64-bit flavours. I use it on my Windows PC and Ubuntu laptop.

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.

To our surprise there was nothing out there that fitted our needs. So we built Etcher, a SD card burner app that is simple for end users, extensible for developers, and works on any platform. – resin.io Team

Using Etcher to Write a Raspberry Pi SD Card Image

The interface looks like this :

Step 1

Browse to the image file. This can be a conventional img file or a zip file. This allows you to burn Raspberry Pi images without even extracting them from the source Zip files.

Step 2

Select a drive. The list of drives provides a nice set of information so it should be clearer exactly what physical device you are selecting. You can select multiple drives and it is possible to write multiple SD cards at the same time.

Step 3

Wait for the process to complete.

Once the process has finished you have the option to burn the same image again or to choose a different image.
