Did NOOBS just kill my SD card? - Raspberry Pi Forums
yesterday attempted install noobs onto sandisk microsdhc 8 gb. used sdformatter default options, quick format , format size adjustment off. (the noobs setup page not give information options use, readme in noobs.zip says turn on format size adjustment, 1 part of confusion) after booting, installer tried expand fat32 partition. never got past part after 10 minutes stuck, unplugged pi. plugged in , same thing occurred. after reboot, pi gave me error saying not being able set partition. after that, sd card collapsed. not boot @ all, , not recognized @ on windows pc. tried search in diskpart , gparted both said there nothing found. gave , tried another, identical, sd card. reading readme, noticed says turn on format size adjustment, do. drag on files in noobs.zip , boot pi. gets way install screen asking distros want install, far further previous sd card got. choose raspbian , starts set partition it. ends failing. gives me similar error message , blank window size of distro installer along unusable language options @ bottom of screen. try holding shift, have turn off pi. worried same thing happened second sd card, try access on pc. had suspected, second sd card dead.
have 2 dead sd cards. there else can try resurrect them? noobs blame? sd cards cheap chinese rip-offs? did format them wrong? if so, why doesn't setup page explain if kills cards? don't know anymore, have yet install , boot raspbian after day of trying no luck. appreciated.
