How to safely format sd card on my windows 11 pc?

Using a Linux environment to reformat an SD card is an effective and free method, especially if you're encountering issues with Windows or if you want more control over the process. Here's how to reformat SD card:

How to Reformat an SD Card Using Linux Environment Methods

1. Create a Bootable Linux Live USB/CD
    Download a Linux distribution like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Fedora.
    Use tools to create a bootable USB drive.

2. Boot from the Linux Live Media
    Insert the USB or CD into your PC.
    Restart your PC and boot from the USB/CD (you might need to change boot order in BIOS/UEFI).

3. Open Disk Management Tool
    Once Linux loads, open the Disks utility:
     In Ubuntu, search for Disks in the application menu.
     Or use terminal commands if comfortable.

4. Identify Your SD Card
    In the Disks utility, find your SD card by size and label.
    Be very careful to select the correct drive to avoid erasing the wrong disk.

5. How to Format SD Card
    Select the SD card.
    Click Format Partition or Format Disk.
    Choose the desired filesystem:
    FAT32 (best for SD cards used in cameras, phones)
    exFAT (larger files, newer devices)
    NTFS (Windows-specific, less common for SD cards)
    Confirm and apply.

6. Wait for the process to complete
    Once done, safely eject the SD card.
