I have a 16GB SD card with 10%FAT32 90%EXT4. I want to get a single disk image file that would contain all of the disc contents. How can I create a disk image of such a disc on Windows 10?

  • You cannot create an ISO image (colloquially: CD/DVD image) from an SD card, for obvious reasons. Perhaps, you should ask about your actual aim.

  • @DanielB Are you sure about that?

  • @infamoustrey Yes. Though there is no difference in file structure (both are raw images), the term “ISO image” refers to an image of/for an optical disc. SD cards obviously aren’t optical media.

  • @DanielB Though the nomenclature might be correct, one could build an iso from any file structure could they not? Including that of an SD card?

Linux dd.

    The question asks specifically about Win 10, so you might want to add a sentence about doing this with a Live DVD session on a Win 10 machine (including mounting a persistent drive).

  • Given that the card has an ext partition, and the asker knows as much, it can be taken that he/she/it has at least a glancing knowledge of Superior OS'. I thought stating all that would be redundant, and if they were going to pursue my answer a 40 second search would put them right. I don't know how or why "persistence" comes into it.

    It is unclear from the answer if /dev/sdX# means disk or partition... I mean if you'd wrote /dev/sdX it would be 100% that you meant disk, but why bother with additional #? From the context I think you meant disk...

You could use a tool like ImgBurn, it will read a usb to an iso and also write it back.

Perhaps you may find in the Control panel a tool "file history" there on the bottom left by "see also" go to "System Image Backup" and "create a system image" it should create an iso-file.

If you need a backup you could also use backup tools with gui for windows.

Or try the solution above with ImgBurn or CdBurnerXp.

E.g. Aomei this or Paragon this or Acronis.
