Hello.

I just bought a new switch and have been trying to install hekate all day. When I was about to access the switch, I realized that the previous owner I bought it from had already installed it. I then looked for a way to (for security) format everything and leave it factory default to proceed with a new installation correctly. However, I don't really understand why it is in a read format that cannot be modified in any way. I have used third party programs, official programs, commands, diskpart but I can not get in any way to disable the read-only mode or format and delete the various partitions created.

Sorry for all this text or if it is explained somewhere in the readme.md but I don't understand English very well and I didn't find a way to contact you except by Issues on Github. I will try to solve this issue in the way you recommend me so that it is not a stain on the repository.

Back to the topic, I'm mainly interested in knowing what does the nintendo switch or Hekate do that once I insert a micro-SD it becomes read-only forever. I say this because I had my own micro-sd that was not read-only and was to follow the installation procedure, backup and such Hekate that I became permanently read-only.

Best regards and sorry for the inconvenience.

P.S. I also couldn't search on my own if any previous issue asked this same question.
