If you have a9lh installed, just load up emunand9 on a known working card, select SD format, and before you press the button combination, swap out the card with the 200GB. If it detects the 200GB card, it'll format it to work with the 3DS. If it doesn't detect the card, then the card is faulty and should be replaced.

1. Tried 32KB cluster Quick Format and moved contents from 128 GB to 200 GB - Didn't work
2. Tried 64KB cluster Quick Format and moved contents from 128 GB to 200 GB - Didn't work
3. Trying 64KB cluster Full Format now.

Not looking good :(

I don't quite understand why you are avoiding my suggestion
Considering you bought it online, I suggest running it through this program

I purchased it off Amazon
I've bought plenty of SD cards off amazon that turned out to be fake, just saying

Not ignoring - it's next on my list :)
Cool~ Seriously though, don't always trust Amazon. I actually bought a 32GB a few months back off Amazon. It even came from the same warehouse my boyfriends work in. So obviously should have been legit.
Yeah, turned out to be fake. It was actually a 4GB Class 4 and not the 32GB Class10 that they claimed it was.

I've already set up a return just in case option 3 and option 4 [yours] fails. Either way, I think I'm still going to return it even if either of these 2 options work as it seems unstable already. Sorry about your situation as well! And of course, thanks for all the help :)

No problem. Since your flag says you are in the US, I might suggest just stopping by Best Buy or Wal*Mart. Sure you pay a little more at times, but I've never had an SD nor MicroSD fail/fake from them. Hell, my current 64GB is from Wal*Mart and it's been running amazing since the day I got it.

I said download and boot from emunand9. I didn't say "power on and press start and use whatever you have." Download emunand9.bin, move it to the root of your SDcard, rename it to arm9loaderhax.bin, backing up Luma, and boot. This should boot emunand9 immediately. Select "SD Format Options", and select one of the options, depending on your setup. If you don't have any emunand/rednand, then select the format options without emunand. After that, swap to the 200GB card, and then press the button combination.
Please read and follow these instructions carefully. Failure to follow is the fault of the reader, not the guide.
