I've had to go back to this as I have another stick which despite doing all manner of work on it, refuses to be recognised by my car.Rather than copying a partition table, can I dd one drive to another (they're both 32GB sticks albeit sold by different companies) and still expect the drive to work? The two drives which work are PNY devices like these - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/32gb-pny-key-attache-usb-20-read-25mb-s-write... whereas the other disk is a 32GB stick from Maplins.
Provided that they're exactly the same size, or the destination is larger than the source, I would have thought it would work.
Suck it and see - what have you got to lose?
