The card comes up as I: in a card reader

And I do this with dd to get 50M off it

dd if=3D\\?\Device\Harddisk5\Partition0 of=3Dd:\dd\card.img bs=3D1M=20
count=3D50 --progress

After filling selected sectors with known values with Frhed, would
I use this to write it back to the card ?

dd if=3Dc:\dd\card.img of=3D\\?\Device\Harddisk5\Partition0 bs=3D1M=20
count=3D50 --progress

Just checking. The last thing I need is a wayward write to one of the HDD
