      Hello,

      I have 2 Samsung 128GB SD card and want to clone one, but one Win32 Disk Imager is saying the destination card needs 178MB of additional space. I'm only using about 90GB within the .img file I have saved on my PC.

      I remember using a tool reduce the size of the 128GB .img file so I could clone it but can't remember it.

      It was possibly a Linux VM or bootable usb key I used to resize, but it's been a year or 2 since I did this, has anyone done this?

      Can anyone help?

      Thanks
