Prepare SD card
<NEED SUDO PRIVLEDGES or remove sudo and run as root>
echo -e "n\np\n1\n2048\n+15M\nn\np\n2\n32768\n+240M\np\nw" | sudo fdisk /dev/<CARD_LOCATION> && sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/<CARD_LOCATION>1

Copy the Code

I am going to try this, this weekend if anyone else wants to report back, and let me know if it format your SD card and created two partitions.

You should be able to load gParted on another linux machine and then just edit the drive; right after you restore the OS image. It's how I do it. No fuss. You could even create the drive then crate another and switch between the two in a card reader to edit them with gParted. It is imporant you edit the drive image before you do anything else with the newly created OS drive; only to prevent loss should anything go wrong. However, updating and upgrading it first probably wouln't be a bad thing but it might be a waste if the drive reformat goes wrong. I have a video of it around here someplace. I can upload it to Vimeo or YouTube if you like.
