I need to make an image of a micro SD card
I have a USB adapter so can make an image of usb instead
I've tried some software but both fail because the SD card has a hidden partition and some corruption
I'm looking for a free SD card/ USB image making software that can exclude either hidden partition or exclude any corruption
Any ideas?

Not sure I understandDo you have an image currently on a micro SD card that you are having trouble seeing?Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0

My SD card includes several partitions, several formats from several operating systems, some hidden, some corrupted
An "Image" is a bit-by-bit reflection of a SD card, usb, HDD, cd, dvd drive saved as a single file, irrespective of the format
I'm looking for an SD/usb image creator/writer that can supress errors
Do you know of one?0 -
Partition wizard?
It's free for the basic version though some features are restricted0 -

What do you think a bit-by-bit copy and recreation of a corrupt partition would look like?0

There may be more sophisticated imaging software that understands the file system structure to allow functions like ignoring unused space, but that is unlikely to have much tolerance for file system corruption.
What are you trying to achieve here? Would making a backup image and then running data recovery software against the card/image be a better approach than looking for something that will both create an image and fix it up?
