microsSD card cannot format
1 answer
I have a 32 GB micro SD card which got kind of corrupted during file transferring from my computer. Now, I am not able to format it.
On Linux:
I have tried Disks utility of Linux, it has no effect on the SD card or its partitions. Sometimes it shows the error: error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)
GParted shows that it has completed the formatting successfully, but when it refreshes, the SD card comes to its previous state, unaffected.
Below is the output of fsck/dosfsck (which claims to fix the issue, but actually it does not):
snehasish@asus-x200ma:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sdb1
fsck from util-linux 2.27.1
fsck.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16)
0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt.
1) Remove dirty bit
2) No action

/dev/sdb1: 5469 files, 778346/967776 clusters
By default the SD card is getting mounted in read-only mode, and sometimes only the defected folder is labelled read-only. I have tried to delete all the contents of the SD card by remounting it in writable mode, but the contents come back when I re-insert the card.
I have also tried to re-write the whole SD card with dd using the following command:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=16MB
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=16MB
It completes normally, but the SD card is again unaffected.
The utility parted did not proved to be useful either.
On Windows:
I have tried formatting on Windows from the File Explorer, it says "Windows was unable to complete the format" for both quick and full format.
Disk Management also showed the same error message when I tried to format from there.
DISKPART also failed to format it.
CHKDSK detected the corrupted file, but in the process of fixing the issue, it ended normally after showing "6% completed...".
On windows, I am not able to delete the corrupted folder as well. It does not show any error message. It just does nothing when I tried to delete the folder.
All I want is to format the SD card and reuse it. I have already taken back up, so I don't want any data to be recovered. I have tried many other ways of deleting the contents/formatting which I don't remember. Any help in fixing this ghostly issue will be much appreciated.

Well, it's possible that the SD is really corrupted. SD cards can't last forever, the number of overwrites is much lower than in SSDs.
