Ok. Moderators, If this violates the rules please delete the thread. So I paid a pretty penny for my OEM Ferrari Becker Cascade navigation CF card and wanted to make sure I could back it up and put the original away for safe keeping. Took me a few tries with buying different SanDisk cards but finally had success. First I’m in a Mac with latest OSC and already had a old no name USB 2.0 CF Card adapter. I have no clue how to do this on Windows as I haven’t used a Windows machine in 20+ years. First step: You need to make an image of your card. You will need to put the card into the system and locate which “device” is your card (not the partition mount point). I used the console command and located the unnamed partition, the device ID for the drive is listed next to it. diskutil list Mine was /dev/disk6 Next, create the actual image I used the following command. sudo dd if=/dev/disk6 of=Becker30_Cascade_SanDiskUltraII.img bs=4m Second step: To write to a copy of the card, unmount (not eject) any existing volumes on the CF card using disk utilities then use the following command in the console to write the image to the device. sudo dd if=Becker30_Cascade_SanDiskUltraII.img of=/dev/disk6 bs=4m Here was the trick. I bought a few 2GB SanDisk cards (I have the version 3.x nav card, version 4.0 is 4gb card), the only one that worked was a SanDisk Ultra II I bought on eBay. The regular Ultra didn’t work as did the other San Disk cards. I didn’t try an Ultra III, I have one on order to test when it arrives. Anyway that’s it. I now am using my backup and am keeping my original in a box with other stuff from my car. I also plan on backing up my system CDROM which is also needed if you reset or reconfigure the radio but that should be easy. Cheers, Corey Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
