    I have a 32GB class 10 Toshiba SD card that i used for Dreamshell for awhile. But last year I installed linux onto it, then somehow in the process of removing it. I destroyed the OEM partition, and all partitions on it. Then when i tried to use it again for Dreamshell, it is not detected

    I've formatted with Windows, and it works fine for storing files, but Dreamshell will not detect it

    Does anybody know the proper format type and partition type i need so Dreamshell will detect the SD card again? I'm pretty sure its that i destroyed the tiny manufacturer info partition. But I have no idea how to fix this

    formatting with "ERASE (OverWrite) and "file adjustment" then editing the post with results

    edit: @megavolt85 it worked. it took so much time for that simple fix lol
