In this tutorial i will explain how to format SD card to EXT4.I came across this issue when my Raspberry Pi cant detect an SD card .I goggled it and here is a quick fix.
Before we format it to SD card i will explain why we should format it to EXT4.
I used Mini Tool Partition wizard Home edition 7 software to do this.
Click To download
GUI of partition wizard is self explanatory. Right click on your partition ==>'create' then choose "ext4" from drop down of file s/m then "ok".Then Click on "Apply" on top left corner to start formatting. Once formatting is done place your SD card in linux s/m as you cant see that drive in windows.

- SD cards which are formatted with NTFS/FAT cant be recognized by Linux based systems.
- Even if some Linux based OS can recognize it when you try to edit it you will get "permission denied " error even if your are "root" user.
