Topic: Raspberry Pi Gparted 16 GB micro SD card will not Boot - Details Below
Rpi 16 GB uSD card will not boot after using:
1) SD_CardFormatter0500SetupEN (SD Association's SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows Download: Texera Version 5.0.0 Beta – no waranty) to overwrite format and
2) win32diskimager-1.0.0-install (Image Writer for Windows Release 1.0.0) [http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager] to copy image from 8 GB microSD/uSD to 16 GB uSD.
Gparted used via SIIG card reader to properly build the 16 GB uSD card on a
Gigastone 16 GB microSDHC UHS-1 Extreme 600X Speed card
Both 8 GB and 16 GB uSD metrics are below!
