Failed creating Raspberry SD Card at all and several ways - reproducible

ischilling

Trying to create the SD card with the Windows installer under Windows 10 x64 EE fails.

1st try fails with "(, 0) Failed writing partition content for "boot"" second try afterwards with "+00:49 (, 0) Failed writing partition content for "system"". The ladder error is than consequently the same.

The SD card is 64 GB Samsung EVO PLUS and works perfectly with Raspian - hence I believe it isn't defect. A test with two more, new cards, resulted in the same issue. An alternative card reader, changing boards and devices didn't make a difference as well.

I did meanwhile checked with smaller SD cards, the issue is still reproducible for me.

how do you even select an sd card? i have one in my pi but it is not showing up in the instalation wizard. can anyone point me in the right direction?

You're running the installer on your PC while the SD card is in your Pi? Of course that won't work, you have to put the SD card in your PC.
