Simple, need that SD card formatted- Don't require anything fancy... you'd setup that SD card to boot a R Pi project... you've since discoverred how to boot offa SSD instead- oh those lovely few seconds of boot saved- hey they add up!
Alright this was supposed to be a post to just share a quick link... to a basic SD card formatter...
So, here we are...
Format away.

How much more legit can you get than a SD card formatter from... SDCard.org.
Any SD card experiences to share? Would love to here 'em. Leave a comment.
Oh, if for whatever reason that SD card is toast...did you try to use it on a Pwnogatchi project? Some reason, certain versions of the firmware, I'm gonna say all the new versions. "Kill": SD cards... afterwards, can't use them for anything... can't re format, can't erase... un-usable. Not really. If you truly require use of that SD card, get yourself a partition manager... the firmware at some point in time creates another partition... a blank one before the main initial one.. so, when attempting to do anything, that first partition is ...nothing. Delete the partitions, recreate them as you wish, and pray it work. Some days it ...it does... others you just gotta re try. I suggest just starting a new- get new SD cards.
Stear clear of SD cards with SP on them which are white and light green. These are cheap- not chearfull. I've never had this happen to any other cards... where they snap in half. Physically.. crack, snap...in half. All of them...every single one i've purchased...maybe just under 20... not that..THAT many... but, still...too many.
OK, enjoy formatting your SD card.
Mostly for me to remember, but Windows at times has a lapse in judgement with certain devices, DIY gadgets, peripherals that you maybe trying to connect to- for me, it was my HackRF( I have since stumbled upon a better way to start for the HackF if having driver woes- which I will cover in another post- but keep reading, since this is still good knowledge to know regarding driver issues )- no matter what, my PC could not recognize the HackRF/ or would recognize it, but as a keyboard. I required Windows to apply the correct drivers to the device so that it could be recognized for what it is... a...SDR. A HackRF. Guessing What's Right... Making Assumptions. Getting it Wrong. So, really what we see here is that when connecting that never connected before thing into your PC, Windows is making an assumption on what that thing is, and then applying the best driver that it thinks suites that thing... From experience, and a general rule of life... "assumptions" aren't the b...
