Not a good experience thus far but confirming others having this issue are not dummies. I am confident I will get the 16GB Kingston Class10 card working on my Pi 3 again.eventually. I do believe I will be using a VM in Linux and GParted instead of SD Formatter 4 to format my cards from now on. I then retired to bed tired of screwing with it. The SD formatter hung not responding multiple times, and would recover when I pulled out the SD card.

It booted my Pi and complained of space allocation problem (not the first time seeing this error) so I used SD Formatter 4, had a couple retries enabling option to expand the SD card and quick format, then later attempted erase, and even full format. I installed the latest 2.0 version of Raspbian downloaded today (late nov 2016) not using SD formatter 4. I used an internal SD slot in a Dell All-in-1. Note: GParted failed to write anything when the drive showed locked (That was 85% of the time) His 32 GB SD was in a USB reader he previously did not have issues with. I had to use Linux at the end mounting the USB reader to the Virtual Linux Box to completely clear the drive. It was not able to delete all the custom partitions. Windows was able to delete the rightmost partition and identify when the drive was write enabled. Using "Disk Management" in windows (Choose 'Manage' after right clicking My Computer and select Disk Management) it frequently showed "Read Only" when locked and "Online" when not locked in the leftmost block of the device in Question -"Disk 2" in our case. We installed VirtualBox using a GParted (Gnome Partition Editor) ISO (faster download but any distribution with gparted in the repository would have worked after installation). I used TeamViewer to go through this process with him. My friend ensured the SD adapter was unlocked on 4 adapters, cleaned contacts with alcohol, and at random was finally able to clear the drive with my help.

My friend is running Windows 10 and I am running 7. Ok so I've gotten the soft switch demon too - twice. I've tried Gparted, but that didn't detect the SD card, ill try Knoppix and post here if it works for anyone else having the same problem. It's possible Gparted may be able delete all of the partitions and then replace them with a single FAT32 one - unless the "write-protect" issue persists, in which case I'd assume the card's now NBG. FWIW, examples of GParted's display can be seen in a page linked from that in my previous post). (It's good at picking "SMART HDD info.", but, I guess that won't apply to SD cards. Running Gparted should tell you what partitions are still on the card and, hopefully, whether there are any other issues. I've usually used "Knoppix" since that includes a number of "repair utilities" etc. The only other thing I can think of is for you to try booting up a "Live Linux distro" from a CD or bootable USB stick. I ve tried everything from tape to different computers to different card adapters and even just the card to no avail, it still says the disk is write protected is there anyway to "force" format the card?Īpologies, I've just re-read your first post and I'd missed your reference to the formatting tool there. My problem is the program thinks the card is write protected. In particular the latter shows the settings required for the formatting tool to recover and re-format all of the SD card.įrom the research i've done, you're understanding is correct, i am familiar with that tool, I have used it many times on usb drives and even on this card. That tool is used when preparing and SD card for use with NOOBS and, FWIW, I've posted screenshots of the "process" at. You probably need to download and install the SDA's formatting tool as referred to here: and use that. There can also be issues with "internal" card "slots".
