Help!

Win 32 disk imager says: An error occurred when attempting to get a handle on the device. Error 5: Access is denied.

Please help just trying  get Pi SD ready!! :0)

If you want to erase an SD card completely, there’s an official tool from the SD Association here:

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC

This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.

The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.

Shame about the lack of a Linux version (that I could find)

Yes – worth pointing out that the SD Association has tools for PC and Mac only – mind you, there’s already a few good ways to obliterate an SD card in Linux.

but how? i’m using ubuntu 11.10 LTS.

Do I also have to format the SD card in a particular ext format before putting Debian on it?

thanks in advance!

True, but the dd command to will pretty much wipe the card as it writes the OS / partition image onto it.

alahu: No need to prep the card in any way if you’re using the Linux ‘dd’ method to write the image.

And some folks need to stop being fanboys and see the forest behind the trees.

(One of the best lines I’ve seen on this board lately)

Problems with Win32Disklimager don’t seen to be universal.  I’ve used it to copy various iso files to the same SD card with no problem and no need to do anything else.  The original problem could be because it needs to run as administrator, when I run it it asks for UAC elevation automatically.

I agree they aren’t universal, but I’ve had problems (whether running as admin or not) trying to reburn SD cards that already had an image on them (e.g. trying to upgrade to the latest Debian image). The only way I found to resolve the issue was to remove all the partitions on the card before hand.

I tried under XP and win 7 — same problem.

Chris, copying an .ISO (CD/DVD image file) to an SD card (presumably, FAT formatted from the factory) has nothing to do with what we are talking about here.

I said I could write an ISO to a previously used SD card without doing anything else. If that’s not what you are talking about then exactly what are you talking about.

Bear in mind that I only talk about what I have actually tried and have personal experience of, not unfounded speculation.

Hey Guys, first time posting here as my Pi finally arrived this morning.

Like a child on Christmas morning!!

Anyway, I got this error this morning and used the SD formatter as @linker3000 suggested.

Win32 is about 50% there, I’m sure I’ll be back later for more advice, Thanks for the help!

I had the same problem ‘error 5’ …after doing a quick search I found this thread and the solution I was looking for.

….Having tested the cards ‘writability’, switched to admin account and a I found that a quick format using SDFormatter the Error 5 message vanished and Win32DiskImager can now write to the SD card.

I think maybe you should add a side note to the beginner’s guide (e.g have SDF on hand incase you get hit with Error 5) ^_^
