linux question
Hi,
I have an encoder that boots from a little CF card and the card has become corrupt, fortunately i copied it using clonezilla copying the contents to another CF card. when i boot up using the new card it doesnt like it and i am thinking the operating system on the cf card somehow ties in with serial number of bios.
Is there anyway of delving in to the image file and searching for the serial number so i can get back to the manufacturer?

Can you expand on where you say it doesn't like it.
ASKER
it basically tells me that the operating system cannot be found, and what is even stranger is i copied the same image to a USB drive and booted from that and it booted although it being a lot slower.
That means there is no boot loader or active partition on your cf card.

I have used clonezilla, cloning dev to dev and when i copied original cf card to usb, the USB will boot but the replacement cf card wont work
Is there anyway i can put in a bootloader or make the partition active?
