All just seems way to over complicated to me. Think I am just better sticking to windows stuff .
There's the Windows way and there's everyone else's way.
If you're used to one, the other will seem complicated.

Just goto amazon and pick up a Sandisk 32gb card next day delivery for £10..... no stress then. You do realise you could use a bigger card also? Like a 64gb? It would work too.
ps - it has only written 1 partition. not the entire image to disk. You should use a dedicated app designed for writing disk images, like rufus or win32diskimager or balena etcher.

Yep, will have to order one.

That was done with rufus.
Will have to leave it for a few days now anyway because my hands are hurting too much again. Cannot really do much until my board's come back from fab anyway.

Windows is only ever going to see one partition, isn't it? Only boot is FAT32.
Does that SD card boot on the Pi, @exxos?
Making these Pi images is really straightforward normally. Why didn't the Pi Imaging software work?

True. I've not checked in Linux.

I've not tried it as I wouldn't know unless it connects to WiFi.. but that card has @Steve settings which wont work on my network... That's another problem..

Because @Steves 32GB card is 640MB larger than my 32GB card and it won't save the image.

Ah, you haven't got the micro HDMI cable yet?

I meant the normal install. I didn't understand why you abandoned that approach. Does that let you preconfigure all of this then you just log in and copy what you want from Steve's image?

Because @Steve said there was loads to configure and he hasn't tried the latest firmware yet. His setup works on the H5. So he wanted me to have a more "plug and play" experience. Nobody AFAIK has tested the latest firmwares , so it could be broke for all we know on the H5 now.
My HDMI cable has come, but I'm not at home today and need to keep off the pc for a few days now anyway. All this Linux stuff isn't RSI friendly.. I can't type more than a couple of sentences each day before I am in a lot of pain

Ah, yeah. Getting a PiStorm going will involve a lot of typing, I'm afraid.
