[arm-allstar] Issue starting Allstar Img.

[Michael Webb]

Louis,

I use Windows so I'll detail the way I do it.

Shut down your Pi. Take the card out. Put it in your Windows PC with
whatever adapter you need.  Download and install Win32 Disk Imager.  Open
that after installation.  Select your card drive letter.  Choose a file
name and folder locaiton with .img at the end like allstarbackup
20201125.img. There should be a folder icon next to the path so you can
select the name and location. Hit READ.  DO NOT HIT WRITE. Once it is done,
I like to use 7-zip to compress the file to make it even smaller.

If you are writing to the card, then you would uncompress the file and
select it and hit WRITE to put the full image back on your SD card.

There are a few youtube vidoes out there showing use of that software.  And
others may like using other sd card burners but I like that one.
