Issue
I've got a 16G SD-card. The SD-card was working great with my Raspberry PI and contained Rasbian OS. However, when I attempted to format the SD-card in order to swap the OS for another one I got stuck. Now I cannot change anything anymore, everything I do either reverts back to the existing state or returns an error code.
fdisk:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 8192 122879 57344 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdb2 122880 7866367 3871744 83 Linux
all attempts to remove, resize or create new partitions result in "succes" (according to Gparted) while the change is reverted back to where I started.
Diskpart in Windows also result in failure.
dd in linux ends in "success" but nothing has changed.
How do I format the SD-card to 16G unallocated (or whatever else there is)?
Solution
I just use Window's built-in formatting tool with the default options, and if that doesn't work you could try the SD card association's formatting tool https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
