I have not been able to reproduce this, but will look into it as soon as my new dev system is setup (Intel NUC with Windows 7/8.1/10 multiboot).

I had the same problem.

I guessed that my micro SD card was pre-formatted as FAT32 and the image file is 4 Gbytes (ie too large for FAT32). I reformatted the card as NTFS and was able to write the image with no problem
