How to Image a Flash card?
I've got two 128MB flash cards. One of them is a SanDisk brand, and from
what I've found on the web are prone to "dying". Mine has died. However,
before giving up on it completely, I thought I'd see if I could clone an
image from the second (PNY brand) to the dead SD unit. I'm figuring the
"dd" command is probably my friend here, but I really don't know for sure.
Can anyone give me a command with correct syntax for making a
bit-for-bit copy of one flash card to an image on the hard drive, and
then to copy that image from the hard drive to the second flash card?
Thanks!

(btw, and peripherally OT to the rest of this message, a third "card" -
a USB "Intelligent Stick" actually - had also become unpartionable; I
tried with Windows, with Mac, and with Debian Sid. Whereas I could get
it to work again Win & Mac, it was useless on my Debian boxes (tried 3
of them). But today, in testing a Knoppix burn, I tried fdisking it from
Knoppix, and it took! Whoo-hoo! So, why doesn't Debian's fdisk work if
Knoppix's fdisk does? I don't know the versions, but I tried it on a
recently updated Debian Sid this AM, and burned this Knoppix 3.3 CD
yesterday, so I doubt that's the issue.)
