Hi, I ordered two Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with a microSD card with the OS 32-bit installed and I think I broke both. I cannot boot either device. When I tried to connect one headless to the Imager app, it didn't give me an advanced options settings, so I set it to rewrite the SD card and now the SD card doesn't work at all. My computer can't recognize it. So I tried the second one, headless also but without rewriting it in the Imager app. I added a text file so it would connect to the Wi-Fi and an empty ssh text file as directed. But it also isn't recognized by the Imager app. When I plugged both into my computer for the first time, both SD cards were marked as corrupted. I have no idea where it all went wrong, I tried to follow the step-by-step and instead it is all bust. My only goal was to get the Pi-hole installed and I've been frustrated for months trying to decipher the tutorials.
