I’ll explain a method that uses a live Linux distro for the job, and also link to a guide for accomplishing this within Windows. I have successfully used gparted quite a lot at home and at work, but this batch of sd cards is giving me problems, it might have been the cheap no-name card reader I had at the time of creating them? it could be the usb funnies that people have noted with the string usbc plastered into the mbr and partition tables.A note if you’re having trouble getting your disks recognized by Zos: some farmers have had success enabling AHCI mode for SATA in their BIOSĬlearing disks is necessary in order for Zero OS to make use of them.

Since then the software ought to be able to look at both mbr tables as well as both partition tables and at least warn you in advance that things are not straightforward. I agree it was MS that started the mess with straying from the original standard. Gparted ought to be looking deeper into whether the files are gone. The bit I have a problem with is that gparted tells me it had success in deleting the partition, when it clearly didnt, if I unplug and then plug it in again, I can read the files straight away, no windows involved. It is definitely not write protected, when I flicked the switch on the side gparted correctly told me it was unable to write. Ie: whatever the MS software wrote on the drive is not written in such a way that gparted can understand it correctly. What is most probably happening is that the data gparted is reading from the drive does not conform to the established standard.
Obviously, it was not an issue if it did not work with any other OS.Īll PCs were/are still sold with a MS OS, whether you want/ed it or not, so what problem could there possibly be?

The web is full of examples, the most annoying one being all the horribly written BIOSs Linux OSs have had to deal with for ages.Īs long any crap ridden BIOS worked with a MS OS, it was Windows XX Certified.

To MS, if it works with their software and the drivers hardware OEMs write for their OSs, it is good enough. MS software is and has been for the longest time notorious for not adhering to established standards/rules. many cases on the web of this ame issue occurring on Linux.
#Wipefs device busy how to#
I eventually learnt what to do and how to do it as well as what not to do. I've screwed up, by various means, more than a drive in my time. There are many other albeit less extreme examples. So everything was checked, re-checked and re-checked again. There was no fall back if the 25 year/US$ 10+ billion state of the art telescope's launch went south. It does not make things any harder and keeps you on your toes when using such tools. Ie: check the drive letter assignment twice or more before you hit Enter, knowing that if you screw it up its contents is all but done for. To me (again, my opinion) the only way is to do it right, from the start. īut (in my opinion) wipefs is a very powerfool tool and -backup gives the user a false sense of security by presenting a remedy/insurance of sorts to not having been thorough enough.
Yes there is - that's what the -backup option.
In Linux mint I can delete files from the microsd, which is more than I am getting here at the moment. Repeatedly read only in Devuan, and also in Linux mint it fails to delete the partition, but still gives me sucess messages? I take it back to a Windows PC and all the files are still there, I can copy in and out as well as rename all ok from windows. I have now tried to wipe it with gparted at least 10 times, gsdisk at least twice and also tried to zap it with dd.
It tells me that the operation worke ok, and it shows as empty, then when I try to add a partition it comes up with the preexisting fat 32 partition and shows the 30 or so percent full. As it was coming up read only and the files are mostly copied elsewhere too I used Gparted to delete the single main partition. In devuan it has been mounting read only, It has about 500 mostly PDf's on it. This PC with Devuan is a lenovo W520, I have a Lexar workflow SR2, a Sandisk adapter and a Samsung 8 GB micro SD.
