You can get a small script that erases the primary GPT table
from the front of the HD and the secondary GPT table from the end of the HD.

Then follow instructions found here.

This will leave you with fat32 format on your md cards. Then insert into 
ms/windows system and use windows explorer to select the drive letter of 
the md card, right mouse click for pull down menu, select format to 
reformat for ntfs format.
