Part 1: Why Would You Format SD Card as Internal Storage?.

Oh how I yearn for a tablet with a desktop Ubuntu system on it!!!īTW, the error I get when trying to format the sd card on my tablet is a java error referring to a time out that has exceeded the expected time limit.

I assume that it would need to be formatted in the same sized partitions that I found the sd card had after the failed formatting on my tablet. Now that the card is recognizable by all devices again, I would like to format the sd card in Ubuntu, to the expectations of my tablet, so that I can get it to work despite the fact that the size of the card may not be otherwise supported by the device. However, I can delete the partitions and then get it reformatted as one 128 GB FAT partition by using a Chromebook I have, but neither Ubuntu, Android nor Windows recognize the sd card until the Chromebook formats the card. The sd card is unformatable in its current state in either “Disks” or Gparted. The Android device doesn’t recognize the sd card after formatting, and the partition types are not recognized in “Disks”. One that is 17 MB and one that is 126 GB. When I look at the sd card using “Disks” in Ubuntu, there are two partitions.

Normally I would use the Lenovo Forums, but they are so glitchy that when I log in, I keep getting prompted to log in, even when the website recognizes that I am already logged in. The unfortunate thing is that the formatting wizard exits with an error after some time, regardless of whether I try to format the 128 GB sd card for contiguous (RAID?) use or as an sd card that can be shared between various devices when moving data from one device to another. Why, weeell - I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10' tablet the other day. I want to format an sd card for an Android 6.1 device on Ubuntu-Mate. This is a tad OT, but I don’t know where else to turn.
