I've pulled my hair out trying to sort out numerous USB devices that I have corrupted with Ubuntu 12.04. Ok let's get started. Plug in your faulty USB device and start up disk utility you can find it by typing disk utility in the Dash home icon very top left left coroner of the Unity Dash board. Once it's open look on the left hand side and locate your faulty USB device click on it and a page will open, on the right hand side of the screen you should see Device: then what should look like /dev/sdb or maybe /dev/sdb1 depends on what your screen says.

Was the card used on a Windows 7 phone? They can make use of the secure aspect of a SecureDigital card. The phone embeds a password into the card, bonding the two together. After they are bonded, another phone, camera or PC should not be able to use it - even to format it. That said, if you have other devices that can read the card, try formatting it there first. Based on how complete that devices support for the SD device format is, you may be able to format it there, and then reformat it on the PC if needed. share|improve this answer answered Mar 10 '11 at 16:55 Jim 734 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote You should unmount the device # umount /dev/sdb1 and then format it with Gparted. You can install it with # apt-get install gparted share|improve this answer answered Apr 12 '13 at 17:39 injaon 1 gparted is normally standard installed with ubuntu. Maybe you should explain how to format the microSD with gparted. –Thomas15v Apr 12 '13 at 18:06 add
