I don’t get a very detailed error message but it fails and tells me to try reinserting it. I’ve tried a few times. It fails at different percentages sometimes. Any thoughts or ways to get a more detailed error message? I have Mac and Linux too.

    Hmmm… This used to have NOOBS installed on it, so perhaps. Regardless I think it’s been partially formatted because I can’t see the files in it like I could when I first plugged it in.

      I haven’t used the NOOBS install for some time, but if it’s anything like the normal raspbian image then you would have a standard VFAT partition for the initial boot, plus an EXT partition for the linux filesystem – and Windows is probably choking on that partition. You should be able to drop the SD card into either your linux or mac machine and reformat it from either of those (or at least delete all the partitions and then format it on Windows).
