How to Format Unformattable SD Card in Windows 10/8/7?

Geeks - SD cards are a convenient and portable way to store data on your computer, but sometimes you may encounter an issue where the SD card becomes unformatted or unrecognized by your computer. This can be frustrating, but there are steps you can take to try to fix the problem and get your SD card working again. Here's how to format an unformattable SD card in Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7:

Insert the SD card into your computer's card reader or a card reader that is connected to your computer via a USB port.

Go to "My Computer" (in Windows 10, this is called "This PC") and find the SD card listed under "Devices and drives." Right-click on the SD card and select "Format."

In the Format window, select the "Quick Format" option and click "Start." This will erase all data on the SD card and reformat it to a usable state.

If the "Quick Format" option is not available or if the SD card is still not recognized by your computer, you may need to use a third-party formatting tool. There are several options available online, such as SD Card Formatter or EaseUS Partition Master.

Follow the instructions for the formatting tool you choose to format the SD card.

Once the SD card has been formatted, you should be able to use it normally again.

It's important to note that formatting an SD card will erase all data on the card, so be sure to backup any important files before formatting. If you are unable to access the data on the SD card, you may need to use data recovery software to try to recover the files before formatting the card.

In some cases, an unformattable SD card may be a sign of a hardware issue with the card itself. If you have tried all of the steps above and the SD card is still not working properly, it may be necessary to replace the card.

By following these steps, you should be able to format an unformattable SD card and get it working properly again.
