I downloaded the necessary files for Raspberry Pi onto a MicroSD card, although the MicroSD card is no longer readable. When I put the card into the computer through a MicroSD to USB adapter nothing shows up in Windows Explorer. The card isn't present in Windows Disk Management either.
How do I fix the MicroSD card to get Raspberry Pi running properly?
If the Pi won't boot off it (ie can't read it) and Windows can't read it I would assume the card has died, is it a good brand or a no name one? It may be worth just grabbing another one to test with.

I have purchased a raspberry pi 3 b+ kit from Amazon. No complaints, but recently I decided I would update NOOBS from 2.7 to 3.0.
When I connect the SD Card to my PC (Debian Stretch), it shows as if there’s 3 separate SD Cards. Being case sensitive, they’re called SETTINGS, System and Storage.
Why does this sd card show up as 3 separate card on my PC?
What I have tried:
I deleted the contents of System, Storage and SETTINGS and replaced
it with the files from NOOBS 3.0
I google searched for why the sd card shows as 3
I put my phone’s sd card into my PC and it showed as 1 sd card (but
I’m not willing to switch cards)
If you already run Debian on your PC, I would probably recommend you ignore NOOBS altogether, and just flash the whole Raspbian image to your SD card.
Then touch boot/ssh to start sshd and add a wpa_supplicant file to boot partition so your WiFi can connect.
When you then start your RasPi, just run sudo raspi-config and expand your root partition and all will be good.

SD card is not necessary, you can flash it to board internal storage.
To get it working you need to press and hold power button for 1-2 seconds, after board was connected to PC
I pulled my Raspberry Pi out from storage and have forgotten my username and password. I don't have access to a microSD reader at the moment. Is there any way I can simple reset the Pi to it's default? I have no important files on there, so I'm fine with wiping and starting over (as long as I still have Raspbian installed).
How would I go about wiping and starting over from the login screen?
I was able to wipe and start over by restarting (control-alt-delete) and hold down shift. I then installed Raspbian, which wiped the card and started the Raspberry Pi from scratch.
I have two OS's Raspbian and RetroPie. Both are store on two separate micro SD cards. I have a Retropie's SD card connected to a usb adapter. In the picture you can see that the file is right above the terminal window. Right now if I want to switch back and forth I have to take the Raspbian SD card out of my Raspberry Pi and put in the RetroPie's SD card. I'm wondering if there's a way that I can just boot it through Raspbian. Any ideas?
I don't think the Raspberry Pi supports booting from USB but if you had a large enough SD card you could dual boot from the same SD card using NOOBS.
You will find everything you need here : HOW TO BOOT FROM A USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE ON A RASPBERRY PI3
But you will always need an SD card at the beginning. I think some people booted pi1 and 2 with usb by putting special boot files into the SD card. Needless to say, it will be easier with a pi3 !
I have a raspberry pi B+. I installed raspbian OS on 16GB SD card and put it in to raspberry pi(work properly). Now I want to install opencv on it. But it shows only small available memory.(cannot install opencv on it, because of not enough free space).

Fresh raspian images are 2GB. If you copy such an image to a SD card, everything beyond that is unused. Fortunately this can easily be fixed.
In a console enter:
sudo raspi-config
The menu, which appears has as first menu item:
1 Expand Filesystem Ensures that all of the SD card
storage is available to the OS
1 Expand Filesystem Ensures that all of the SD card storage is available to the OS
Use it and you are done.
