Hello
I would like to transfer my hidden partition emunand to a new SD card but NXNandManager is not picking up the partition.
The hidden partition was originally created using SXOS but have moved onto Atmosphere (without recreating a new emunand). I wanted to move this partition to a new SD card but when i use NXNandManager. It's not picking up the 32gb partition, only the FAT32 partition. In the Windows Disk Management, i can see the a "unallocated" 29.13gb partition. Which i guess is that hidden partition i am after.

I can give EmuTools a shot (as this was the tool i first used to backup my original emunand) but unsure which options i should be choose since i am now using Atmosphere and the partition is created using SXOS.

e.g. "Unsure"
Source: SXOS hidden partition
Target: Atmosphere file

Then restore as
Source: Atmosphere file
Target: Atmosphere hidden partition

Thanks Shadow, do have a bit of an issue with requiring an extra 30gb. Any chance of a PC method? If not, then i'll probably have to start clearing out the SD
