I have a Micro SD card which was created with an embedded Linux, it is used to boot up a device. I need to take this card, plug to a flash reader and plug the reader to my Windows laptop. The ultimate goal is to make a copy of the card and save the copy at my laptop because I need to burn the card with an updated image.
My laptop has Hyper-V VM installed running Ubutun 20.04.
I already asked question how to make Micro SD copy using dd command in Linux.
I also found this article how to mount a Windows' USB drive to Linux VM.
I just plugged the flash reader to my laptop, at the File Explorer, I see the USB drive E. When I double click E, Windows has a pop-up saying it needs to format the device.
I do not want to risk damaging the card and did nothing.
Can you confirm if my plan is good:
- Plug the reader with the Micro SD card to laptop
- It is expected that Windows cannot read the card since it is Linux format
- Go ahead to follow this article to mount the card to Hyper-V VM
- Run dd command to make copy
- Need to unmount it afterwards
Thanks.
