Applications :: Format The SD Memory Card Or Any Other Alternate Way To Format The Card?
Jan 25, 2011
I am trying to format 4 GB sd memory using mkfs.vfat. I want to use the card both in linux and windows so I am formatting with Vfat filesystem. When I format the card from command line with "mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk1" I am getting a warning message like "unable to get drive geometry, using default 255/63" but the data in the card is erased.
But when I mount the card and checks for the size using df -h its showing 1 GB instead of 4 GB. how to format the SD memory card or any other alternate way to format the card.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I have a few 2gb CompactFlash memory cards that I bought to use with my FujiS7000 digital camera. Only problem is that that camera will only read/write to 1gb memory cards. I don't suppose there's any way to format these 2gb cards so that the camera sees them as 1gb cards?

I am wondering if it would be possible to format an 8g SDHC card in a way that it will be able to be written to and read by an SD reader?
Reading about SDHC vs SD suggests that the only difference is the block/cluster/byte configurations. Is that true?
Could I format the 8g FAT32 SDHC with gparted to a 1g FAT16 partition with the rest of the space left un-formatted so an SD reader could handle it?

I've tried everything--from the CLI to GParted and back--but I can't seem to format my SD card. I know it's not the card because it is recognized in three other devices, which offer to format it because they don't think it's formatted.When in GParted, I can create a new partition table and create a new partition, but after that completes, the card remains grey and the GParted tells me the disk label is unrecognizable.When I go at it with fdisk/mkfs.vfat, I'm told:
Code:
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x24edb58b.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)[code].........

I tried to format my SD card from ext3 to NTFS... But when i right click, i am not able to find the option for formatting...I am dual booting, so able to do it in Windows.. But was wondering, whether we can do it without help of any program like gparted, as we are able to do it windows?

I'm not that new in Linux I've been using for years since 2010 mostly, and formatted a number of flash drives with allegedly fat32 fs however, this time I need to be sure I'm formatting it as fat32 for experimental reasons and I can't seen to find a mkfs.fat32, both vfat and fat are fat16 and I don't know what msdos does...

For the last several weeks i've been trying KDE and it's been working quite fine. There are however several minor issues with KDE.
First - how can i format a usb stick? In GNOME after the usb stick has been plugged in one just have to right click on it and select "Format". Here i don't see such an option. I googled it and i read somewhere that the tool for this would be KDE partition manager. I installed it but it looks like an overkill for the task. KDE partition manager is high level tool like GParted, whereas i'm looking for something that integrates into the desktop so i can just right click on the usb drive and select format. Besides KDE partition manager asks for a root password which is logical because it can format all your partitions. However i don't see the need for a root password when one is going to format a usb drive.
Second - i tried to use my micro sd card yesterday and while it mounted automatically i couldn't write anything on it or delete any of the files on it ( didn't have this problem with the usb stick though). How can i change that? I have a default Debian install with a nearly default KDE 4.6.5. In GNOME the SD card was always mounted writable by default.
Third - i am using Iceweasel, Rhythmbox and GIMP which are GTK applications. To make them look OK in KDE i installed gtk2-engines-oxygen and kde-config-gtk-style and i also installed the Oxygen KDE Firefox theme (from here [URL]). I then configured the GTK applications to use the oxygen engine and Rhythmbox and GIMP look perfectly OK (i've attached a screenshot at the bottom of my post) however Iceweasel doesn't look completely OK. The problem is that the color scheme of the window is slightly darker than the color scheme of the upper window border - i've attached screenshots of Rhythmbox and Iceweasel so you can compare. I've tried KDE 4.7 with Arch Linux and Firefox there looks OK just like Rhythmbox. It is a small detail but it bugs me...
Fourth - i have problem with the KDE theme for Firefox which i've installed. Without it Iceweasel doesn't look that good. With it, the find menu (activated with ctrl+f) doesn't work - instead of the regular search field just a very small box appears. I've posted a screenshot for that as well.

I've got some trouble trying to format a SD card. I tried to format it in the GUI and the terminal, but couldn't make it. I couldn't even copy or move any file to the directory in the SD card, even logged as root.
It's a SD card from a digital camera. When I insert it in the camera, it says the card is blocked, so that it's not possible to take any picture.
I tried using "fdisk" to set a new fyle system in it, and tried "mkdosfs" trying to format it under the current file system.

I was attempting to reformat a 16GB MicroSD card in my camera when the battery died mid-way. After that, any time I try to read the card in my camera, it gives me a "Card Error" and does not allow me to reformat it in my camera.
So, I thought I would plug the camera in to the laptop with it set to host the card as media when plugged in as USB, in an attempt to fix the formatting issue.
However, when I plug it in to my linux machine, it does not register as a device (e.g., /dev/sda) due to some errors, therefore I cannot reformat it. Essentially, I think I need to fix the partition table but I'm not sure how to when it doesn't register as a device. code...

I am running Linux AS4 Update version. I have one lan card and the primary IP-Address is 192.168.0.215 & subnet is 255.255.255.0
Now I want to assign an alternative IP-Address on the same card & the IP I want to assign is 192.168.15.215.
I run the following command from root user:
Now when I ping this IP 192.168.15.215 From Windows machine then its reply me & properly reply comming from this Ip.
But when I want to access this Ip by \192.168.15.215 from run prompt then it gave me error. The specified network name is no longer available..
I already restart the machine & network service but the problem remains same.

I'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.
ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?

I downloaded the ChromeOS,the file that I downloaded is in .raw format, the site tells me that I must put the .raw image in the USB pendrive using ImageWriter(the site refers to the windows version).The problem is that the ImageWriter's version for Ubuntu cannot see files in .raw format, but only in .img format.I searched the internet how to put the OS'image this format inside the USB from Ubuntu but unfortunately I haven't found anything.
