Formatting the remaining slave SD cards


Before copying the image to the slave cards, you must first format them by using the SD formatter for the Windows applications. So go ahead now and switch over to the Windows environment. Download the SD formatter for Windows applications file from the following website; https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/index.html. Insert a loaded SD card adapter into the SD card drive slot on the main PC, and double-click on the applications icon. Select the drive containing the SD card to be formatted (in the authors case it was the L drive). Click on the Option button, and change the settings as shown in the following screenshot. Click the OK button:
