Format SD card after flashing image #444

Hi, I'm having troubles to format the SD card I used with fang hacks. All attempts at formatting fail with very weird error messages.

I tried formating on Mac, Windows and Linux with different tools and on terminal. Each produces their own error message and I can't seem to find the pattern. Only guess is that fang hacks applies some unknown filesystem or parameters when flashing which none of the tools can figure out.

Anyone has some ideas?

Edit: I can also re-flash the image (0.2 and 0.1) without any problems, but attempting to flash a different image (e.g. Ubuntu) fails as well.

use fdisk or some other partition editor to open the device and remove all partitions inside, then create a new partition of your liking (ntfs, vfat, ext...) which fills the whole drive and then format it

You can get the free official SD card formatter from sdcard.org. Just accept the license and it will download.

If your SD card flashing image and not detect in your computer open cmd use command 'diskpart' note : (if you have only 1 ssd or 1 hardisk ( disk 0) and your sd card is (disk 1)) following this command DISKPART> select disk 1 Disk 1 is now the selected disk DISKPART> clean DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk. DISKPART> create partition primary DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified partition.

than your sd card can detect again in your computer and you can format it again
