Thanks for the info guys.? I was able to reformat the SDcard using an old laptop with the new Linux on it. gparted worked, but was a bit scary to use.? I used the instructions here: ? ? ? Used Format with FAT32 instructions.? The first two command lines worked fine. I couldn't get the boot partition to format or output instruction to work but the print of the partition table did work.? However the listing under the File System column was blank instead of fat32.? Attached is the File System listing of the now blank card. Anyhow, I tried that SDcard in the Pi and was able to copy my working card on to it with the Pi. Best regards, John,? W0GN

It is strongly recommended to use the SD Memory Card Formatter to format SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards rather than using formatting tools provided with individual operating systems. In general, formatting tools provided with operating systems can format various storage media including SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards, but it may not be optimized for SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards and it may result in lower performance. SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards have a ¡°Protected Area¡± for SD Card security purposes. The SD Memory Card Formatter does not format the protected area in the SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards. The protected area shall be formatted by an appropriate PC application or SD host devices that provide SD security function. The SD Memory Card Formatter doesn¡¯t support SD/SDHC/SDXC Card encrypted by the ¡°BitLocker To Go¡± functionality of Windows. Please format the SD/SDHC/SDXC Card after it has been unlocked.

Disregard this link. It applies to a specific task and seems too complicated. Just add gparted from add remove software. 73

I presume your search was performed visually.
The Linux operating system has a find command that will walk filesystems
searching for a file name provided to it a one of the required arguments.
Here's a suggested command you might try:
find / -name WSJT-X\* 2>/dev/null
^ Send error messages to the bit bucket
^ The (prefix of the) file name to find
^ The directory in which to begin searching
^ The find command
I've attached a few find shell scripts I've found useful over the years.
Best regards,

You can expand the extra capacity in raspi-config on first boot on new medium. In terminal, sudo raspi-config. 73

Re: Raspberry Pi-400 - Hermes Lite 2
Hi Nigel
Does this work on the Pi 4B+ 8GB also? I am thinking of migrating from my old laptop
I use for home use, which has a 500GB SSD courently and it would be nice to keep a
near like but more up to date replacement.
