Once we know the number of the disk we want to format we can proceed.
In the example above I have a 32GB SD Card which shows as number ~1~.
Our next step is to again user powershell, this time to format the sd.
Checking the disk we can see some partitions that exist already from
previous use of the card. To delete these partitions you can use the
~Remove-Partition -DiskNumber X -PartitionNumber Y~ command where
~X~ and ~Y~ relate to the output of your disk and partition number.
Due to the risk of data loss this step is not automated. Once existing
partitions have been cleared we can use the following block to:
- Create a new partition using masixmum available space
- Assign a drive letter in windows
- Mount the disk in WSL so we can copy to it
- Copy the install media over to the partition
