- garrettgrimsley 12y agoThis is not safe! The SD card write switches rely on the host to respect the state of the switch[0] [0] http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/?p=2620 http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/?p=2620
- BuildTheRobots 12y agoWow; I had no idea. -Thank you for the warning :)
- matteotom 12y agoUnfortunately, many/most laptops do not support booting from SD cards. If you were to store the main image on an SD card, you'd still need a cd/dvd/usb drive to load the bootloader.
- diziet 12y agoWrite switches on SD cards are not hardware specific, the host can choose to ignore them, unfortunately.
- crdoconnor 12y ago>Tip: Most laptops have an SD card reader Not all of them will boot for you though. Mine doesn't.
- RachelF 12y agoMost will, they just see it as a USB device. The BIOS won't list it unless it is populated.
