Long story short, i have an ADATA 64GB SD card, last week i wanted to format it, as soon as the formatting process began on my phone, Viber starts updating and i had it installed in the SD card, which corrupted it i think as Play Store was writing into the SD Card and Android was Erasing it at the same time. When i tried to format it again on the phone, the process is stuck at 40%, then reports a Java script error(Doesn't show up for long enough for a screenshot sadly). So today when i got some time, i plug the SD card to my PC, using disk manager, the SD card is detected, the assigned letter is there, so it the partition, marked healthy and all. Using Diskpart same story, the the disk is detected as is the volume, but it's in RAW. Trying to format directly from This PC reports a"Windows was unable to complete format". Using the Clean then Create partition primary command reports "No usable free extent could be found...". Selecting the volume and using the format command completes but then goes back to 0% and says there was and error. right now i've selected the SD Card volume, and using the command "format fs=ntfs" is in progress, sitting at 32% and going. is it gonna work or what, what do i do? I have tried third party software but that doesn't work either. I had it used as internal storage when this issue happened BTW.

 

Thanks chaps

When I have a problem with a drive such as the one you describe, I use AOMEI Partition Assistant.  Works every time and I haven't had any problems with it.  Best of all, there is a FREE version, that's the one that I use.  Maybe it can help you with your situation.  Good Luck.

Did you try creating a partition?  You need to create a partition, then format that partition.  That piece of software works great but is kind of screwy in that you have to click the "Apply" button up in the top left corner in-between the different steps you take.  So first you would highlight the drive you want to work with and then select the partition function.  Then click on the APPLY button.  Don't understand it but it works.  Just go along those lines and hopefully you will be able to fix the drive so that you can use it again.  Good Luck.

The Create Partition option is grayed out,  SD card remains labeled "unformatted" despite formatting partition or volumes completing with success, which leads me to think that's not the case, as I said, operating are not actually taking effect. Nothing works, i think i'mma just give up, second SD card I loose this way Goddamn it. I don't care bout the data on it, it all backed up, anything else before I pull the plug, anything dude. 

Thanks for ur time.

Sorry but I put all my cards on the table already so I'm completely out of any new ideas.  At least we gave it everything we had.  Better luck next time.

i assumed that you already done the step using CMD command diskpart > "format fs=ntfs", but why did you use ntfs format? i believe it is only used by windows OS. try formatting it using format fs=fat32 quick. once done, insert your SD card again to your phone and let it format by itself. lemme know if it works.
