This is the output of my terminal but here is what I did without the command line stuff.

determined my SD card's mount point by ls /dev/sd* (sda usually will be your primary HD if you see something like /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb5" that is a good indication of your primary drive)

used sudo fdisk /dev/sdc to open my sdcard

deleted the existing partitions

used command "n" to start creating a partition

specified 1 as the start of the first partition

used +512M to specify the first partition as 512 Megabytes

used "n" to create a second partition and used the defaults to take up the rest of the card with the 2nd partition

formatted the first partition ext2 with sudo mkfs /dev/sdc1

formatted the second partition fat32 with sudo mkdosfs /dev/sdc2
