==== A bigger size Compact Flash card. ====
\\
It is important to use a Compact Flash card with exact the same size.\\
\\
Each brand uses different data chips inside the Compact Flash card which can defer a few Kilo Bytes.\\
\\
A smaller one won't work cause it can't write all the data of the image.\\
\\
A bigger one won't work directly cause the system can't allocate the remaining data size.\\
\\
\\
When you do want to use a bigger Compact flash card you'll have to do the same steps as described before.
  * After writing the image with Dubaron DiskImage you'll have to start the Rack one time with the card.
  * Then take out the card again and load it again in GParted.
  * Here you'll need to extend the written partition not bigger than 3Gbyte (leave the rest unused) of the Compact Flash card.
  * With the unused space the next made backup will be compatible with almost all brands of cards with the same size.
Now the system will be able to read the card completely.\\

Doing this will also be at your own risk.\\

We don't have any examples on how to do this cause this isn't originally supported!\\
