Open a terminal window and clear your dmesg using:
<pre>sudo dmesg -c</pre>
Now insert a new microsd card in your PC and then check your dmesg:
<pre>dmesg</pre>
You should see something like this:
<pre>mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address 0001
mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 00000 3.79 GiB
mmcblk0: unknown partition table
</pre>
Ensure all in your microsd card it's erased:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 count=1024

We will use the gparted program for create the partitions, if you don't have this program installed then you must install it with this command:
