  1. Repeat for additional .bin config files in additional slots, if needed.

+== Alternate Method ==
+
+ 1. Insert the SD card. Take note of which drive letter it is assigned in Windows Explorer.
+ 1. Open a command prompt '''as administrator''' and change directory to the folder containing your .bin file
+
+'''Copying the .bin file:'''[[BR]]
+ 1. Run this command, replacing the last three arguments with the correct values:
+{{{
+win-dd bs=512 seek=<N> if=<yourFile.bin> od=\\.\<sd_drive_letter>: --progress
+}}}
+  1. ''<N>'': depends on the target slot number; use (131072 + slotNum*32768). More details [wiki:..#Copying.binFilesSDCards here].
+  1. ''<yourFile.bin>'': the binary FPGA configuration file
+  1. ''<sd_drive_letter>'': Drive letter for the SD card as mounted by Windows
+
+'''IMPORTANT''': Note the output argument is '''{{{od}}}''' ('''o'''utput '''d'''isk), not {{{of}}}, as is common with {{{dd}}} in other operating systems
+
+For example, if your .bin file is {{{ref_design.bin}}}, you're writing to slot 0 and your SD card is mounted as {{{H:}}}, you would run:
+{{{
+win-dd bs=512 seek=131072 if=ref_design.bin od=\\.\H: --progress
+}}}
+
+ 1. If successful, dd should report the following:
+{{{
+18032+1 records in
+18032+1 records out
+}}}
+ 1. win-dd may report "Error reading file: 87 The parameter is incorrect". In our experience this is normal and not an actual error.
