Hello,
I use openelec for PC for more than 4 years and I am very happy with it. I just bought a Raspberry Pi 2 and install it on a 2gb SD Card (that I hade) in order to see it. It was great. So I bought 2 16GB SD Card (Samsung).
I used the 1st one to install openelec, and it was perfect. Until one day (1 month later) I got a message that openelec could not mount system
I install openelec in the second SD and everything wer fine until the same thing happened. Searching google found out that some SD cards causes problems. So I bought a new Kingston 16gb SD card and This is the one that I have now (almost a month and hopefully forever).
Trying to reuse the old SD cards I found out that I could not format them. I try to delete partitions (initialize disc):
1. Use Disk Management
2. Gpart form linux
3. Diskpart
4. fdisk
5. Low level format tools (about 6 of them)
6. Hairens boot CD (all partition tools)
7. Mobile phone
NOTHING. It deletes the partition and on refresh …….. appeared again. Delete files in the fat32 partition, remove it and mount it again …… the files are back. Even the old 2GB SD card can’t be used.
Searching internet I was no able to find something useful. Some posts that I was able to find the answers were not so good for me.
I don’t know what to do (the 2 SD that are 16GB are only 2 months old !!!!!)
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for you help
