![]() +1 You can use one of the Partition Managers like "gParted" to do this. ![]() * You can use the "USB stick formatter" in your menus for Fat32 (for smaller sizes), NTFS (for larger sizes), or Linux Ext4 (for larger sizes). How are you accessing (using) the microSD card with a USB adapter, in a laptop port, and what size is the miscroSD card? If you run " inxi -Fxzd" and " lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information. It would help to know more about your system setup. I just read your post and the good replies to it. In your specific case and again barring fake-flash, it is extremely unlikely that anything fundamental happened to your device you likely just need to reformat it but now to something that the software with which you want to use it is familiar.Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum! ![]() As far as this forum is concerned it needed to be commented that it is NOT the case that one shouldn't format SD cards through any means one may care for. There is of course also always the possibility of an overly Chinese controller in whatever you used to format the card through that utility with, but I finally in that sense also find your post peculiar: the card became "unrecognized" after you used that utility yet that one is the right one to use rather than normal OS utilities?Īnyways. I.e., you now having had that utility format the card to exFAT with you not being ready for that although Windows of course is / should be, at least Linux generally is not: exFAT is a proprietary Microsoft filesystem format burdened with software patents it's only recent that somewhat full/good Linux support for it existed at all. If yours is not fake-flash though, what I expect is the matter is the basically same as above: you confusing software and hardware layers for example in this sense: zon-72165/ (it's an epidemic the Windows program H2testw tends to be advised to identify fakes Linux alternatives easily found). The Amazon marketplace has been known to also be infected with flash-scammers first google hit. If the card can be (correctly) read/written at all using a given controller, it can be formatted by anything, and to anything that that first anything supports. It fundamentally can not, and this is why your above authoritatively stated quote does need comment from a technical-advise forum such as this. It does not discriminate between bytes which are to to it unknown software part of some filesystem as such and part of on said filesystem stored data. The thing I said above as to "formatting is the process of writing filesystem-structures to a device" is to say that the device in this context is merely a "data-canvas". You still don't link to anything specific I'm not going to dig through that enterprise-speak marketing-humbug website to try and dig up something potentially related myself, because. Few in the technical community are aware that SD cards, as well as microSD cards should NEVER be formatted by OSes, like Linux or Windows.įew are indeed, and this is because it's nonsense.
