Thanks. However, I was one of those 'lucky ones' that chose from a set of 2 16gb micro SD-cards the biggest one to begin with. Trying to write the image of the original Samsung card to another one didn't succeed since the size of the card was a few Mb's smaller.

After skipping a bunch of Linux based solutions, I came across the advice to use a Windows tool, HDDRawCopy. It did generate an error after writing 99%, but nevertheless the 2nd card booted fine and writing to the card works as well, the same for Xbian updating to Krypton.

None of the suggested 'remove write-lock' tricks for micro SD-cards worked, so I have called for a RMA. Although with low prices nowadays it is almost a waste of spending a post stamp on returning the card.
