SD card BAD?
Posted by kll · In RPI · 1853 Reads ·
as the cards are cheap now you could just get it over with and put it in the trash bin.
but if it is in question if the problem is with the card or just the installation or other hardware issues
or you want try to claim that now possibly lifetime warranty of a sd card
brace yourself for a day trip!
*** as format and block read write tests are "destructive" try:
+ + + image backup
+ + + deep format
+ + + write read test
+ + + image restore
-a- win32diskimager 1.0
/my/windows/path/temp_sdcard_readback.img
[read]
for a 16GB sd card it gives a 16GB .img file
if you want to keep it you could zip down, slow but effective.
-b- sd formatter 5.0
[overwrite][label=]
-c- H2testw
[english][all available space]
-d- restore from backup img file
win32diskimager
/my/windows/path/temp_sdcard_readback.img
