Force Format SD Card that Cannot Be Formatted in Windows 10, 8, 7
Geeks - If you are unable to format your SD card in Windows 10, 8, or 7, there are a few possible reasons why this might be happening. The most common cause is that the SD card is corrupted or has become damaged, but it could also be due to a problem with the SD card reader or the computer itself. To fix the problem, you can try the following steps:
Check the SD card for physical damage. If the SD card is damaged or has bent pins, it may not be able to be formatted. In this case, you will need to replace the SD card.
Try using a different SD card reader. If the problem is with the SD card reader, using a different one may fix the issue.
Try using a different computer. If the problem is with the computer, using a different one may fix the issue.
Try using a different SD card format. If the problem is with the format of the SD card, trying a different format may fix the issue. For example, if the SD card is formatted as NTFS, try formatting it as FAT32 instead.
Try using a disk formatting tool. If none of the above steps work, you can try using a disk formatting tool, such as Diskpart or EaseUS Partition Master, to format the SD card. These tools can sometimes fix problems that the built-in formatting tools in Windows are unable to fix.
If none of the above steps work, there may be a problem with the SD card that cannot be fixed. In this case, you may need to replace the SD card. It is always a good idea to make sure you have a backup of any important data on the SD card before attempting to format it.
