The message "You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it" means that Windows can not read the file system on the uSD card. Well, Windows can not read Linux file systems, so this is OK, and you should ignore the message.
The ".img" file and Etcher will install a Linux file system on the card. Are you trying to install an image on the uSD card, so that you run from the uSD card? Or, are you trying to install a flasher on the uSD card so that the uSD card will install the image in the Flash memory on the BBB? Make sure you are using the correct image file to do what you are trying to do. Is Etcher providing any errors? If so, what does it say? If Etcher does not report any errors, do not reformat the card like Windows says, and just put the Etcher programmed card in the BBB and run it. --- Graham == On Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at 7:53:43 AM UTC-5, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello, i have a beaglebone black board. i want to use "Debian 9.5 > 2018-10-07 4GB SD LXQT" os image for it, i downloaded it from > http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ and i try to write it on micro SD > with "balena etcher" but it cann't write correctly, i repeat this process > over and over and i deal with "You need to format the disk in drive E: > before you can use it" any time. > 14 daya ago, i did this process successfully, but my micro SD damaged and > i have to change it, after that i have above problem. > i did this process with other os images, too but i had this problem, > again. > please help me! give me a solution! > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
