I used Win32 Disk imager. Maybe there's a fault in that. Anyway, it boots from the larger card so I'm happy to carry on with that.

Definitely tightrope walking without a safety net, so I'm also setting up a nrf24l01 network using an Arduino attached to a PC so that I can backup my own files from the SD card. It's likely to be a bit Heath Robinson.
