So I kind of need some help here. Let me summarize what happened real quick:
>Buy a 64gb micro sd card a while ago for my phone
>manage to corrupt it somehow
>made a backup of data since i want to format the card
>when i try to format it says the card is protected from writing (the switch on the adapter isnt set to lock)
>tried tons of shit trying to remove the protection, to no avail, tried different adapters too
What do I do? Is my sd card fucked?

Just delete the whole partition and create a new one. If the partition shows an impossible size or whatever, then delete the partition table and make a new one, then a new partition, and then format it.

That's how SD cards behave when they're fucked, yes.
>>343079
the delete partition option is grayed out
>>343086
Unmount it first? Delete the partition table if it still won't let you.

But the disk doesn't show up on the disk management menu when I unmount it. How do you delete the partition table?
>>343092
Really faggot? That menu is an abstraction layer. Address it by its physical mount point instead.
>>343095
eh what?
>>343096
The mount point where it is added to the system. In linux those are those dev/sdX XX points. Try Linux or TestDisk, that utility is very powerful.
>>343096
Just delete the partition table bro.

>>343124
Linux
Live System
>>343126

>>343127
Get it. It's free.
Don't even need to install, run it as a live system.
