So I think I "bricked" my old sd card into read only mode and wanted to know what all I would need to do to a new sd card to make my Wii work with the new one.

if you bricked your old sd card into read only mode, verify that the slider is unlocked, and try running check disk on it

The drive should be 2tb or smaller, formatted to MBR and have a single primary FAT32 partition with 32kb (32768) or 64kb (65536) cluster/allocation unit size.
Double check the partition style is MBR: https://www.howtogeek.com/245610/how-to-check-if-a-disk-uses-gpt-or-mbr-and-how-to-convert-between-the-two/

Drive is 64gb or less: Format it to FAT32 with 32kb (32768) cluster / allocation unit size.
Drive is larger than 64gb: Format it to FAT32 with 64kb (65536) cluster / allocation unit size.

If the drive is larger than 32GB, you will need third party software like GUIFormat or Wii Backup Manager to format your drive to FAT32
