I have an sd card for my dashcam that is corrupt.
It had video clips on, I tried to delete the clips but it wouldn’t.
I then tried to format it but it still wouldn’t de;ete the clips.
I then connected it to a usd adapter & tried following instructions which I have used to recover a usb before.
**How to recover the USB stick for "normal" use again**
After system installation, you may want to reuse the stick as you would normally to write things on it. In that case you have to reformat it. Often people complain that Windows fails to do it.
Typically, you would simply start fdisk:
# fdisk /dev/sdX
and select:
o create a new empty DOS partition table
and then:
n add a new partition
(primary, number 1, default size to use the entire device)
t change a partition's system id
Use type 6, FAT16
w write table to disk and exit
Finally:
# mkfs.msdos -n SOME_NAME /dev/sdX1
This last step is necessary, particularly the -n SOME_NAME, or the USB stick will mount with the iso name.

Could it have changed to sr0 or is my pc not picking it up?

Hi
It’s not detecting it… maybe it died…? Is the card reader
internal or external?

If it’s a 64 GB SD card then, it’s exFAT – « Meaning, Redmond licensing issues and, for Linux a ‘difficult’ driver … »
[HR][/HR]The only solution I can suggest is:
Use either Redmond’s 10th operating system or, a recent Apple MAC, to reformat the exFAT SD Card.
