There is a gadget-expert brother-in-law over there who may be able to help; if he doesn't, I will probably be back with a follow-up to the story. Thanks again for all the replies. | |

| Dec 3, 2018 at 6:44 | comment | added | Xirdal | I hope the errors are due to botched formatting of the new card, and now I'm in the lengthy process of hard-formatting it (at 512 GB it will take a while). Stay tuned.... | |
| Dec 3, 2018 at 6:12 | comment | added | Xirdal | Thanks for the reply. I found a software called EaseUS Todo Backup Free. After one failed attempt, it claimed to have successfully backed up the original card. Then I put the new one in the reader and told the soft to restore the data onto it. It started doing so in "disk-partition mode" or something like that, and was apparenty going to recreate the exact structure of the old card, including the same capacity - which would obviously make the whole investment pointless. | |
