Hi @asdffdsa6131 – thanks for the additional info. I just want to clarify one point to make sure I understand correctly: at the end of your message, you say “so this is not just an etcher problem. i have tried a few other tools and they all fail.” Can you confirm:
- You have tried to flash the original SD card that gave you problems (call this “card A”), using Etcher, and that does not work.
- You have tried to flash card A, using tools other than Etcher, and that does not work either.
- You have tried to flash additional SD cards (call them “cards B, C and D”) using Etcher, and that does not work – you get the same error you posted above.
- You have successfully formatted cards B, C and D using Windows standard tools.
Can you please confirm whether I got all that right?
Assuming for the moment that I do: can you try a couple of workarounds and see if they work for you?
Thanks, and please let us know how it goes.
All the best,
Hugh
