Linux on your pc along with a card reader makes this easy. (You can make a live disk to use if your pc is running windows. Puppylinux works for me.) Once running linux, use gparted to create the partition(s) you want on the card. Then copy the files to be extracted there. To extract use the "tar" command i.e. "tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz" |
