- Identify the partition of microSD card
Run sudo fdisk -l, insert the microSD card and re-run sudo fdisk -l again. Identify the newly inserted device which partition is normally /dev/sdc or /dev/mmcblk0, then export it as variable and enter Sudo mode:
sudo su
export sd=/dev/mmcblk0
- Format the SD card
Warning: This will destroy all the data from the microSD card.
Run fdisk $sd and type in the following (<E> means enter, ignore the spaces):
o <E> n <E> <E> <E> +30M <E> t <E> c <E> n <E> <E> <E> w <E>
For your information, this will create 2 partitions on the disk (fat32 and linux).
