  1. There are many ways of doing it. I am assuming that you have a card reader.

    Start gparted and make the partitions.

    You can do it from the terminal.

    List all disks

    sudo fdisk -l

    You need to figure out which disk is your card; it's usually something like /dev/sdc. I will use "xxx".

    sudo fdisk /dev/xxx

    Some fdisk commands:

    • d: delete partition
    • n: create a partition
    • l: list types
    • t: set type (c for fat32. 83 for Linux)
    • w: save
    • q: quit without making any changes

    Then you create filesystems with a command: 

    sudo mkfs -t vfat -F 32 /dev/xxx1
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /def/xxx2
