I ran the WM5 Storage method to partition a 4GB Mini SD and now it only reads as a 2gb even without the partition. Am I screwed or is this fixable? I am using a MDA G3 running XDAWM6
i would make sure it was formatted with fat32 rather then fat16

Hi,
since my orbit wont accept a 4GB memory card, is it possible to partition a 4GB into two 2GB partitions and have them both accessible?
Have you tried this?

Hi forum!
I've tried the Galaxy S lag fix and it worked perfect, but when i wanted to try out the fix with the ext4 file system i suddenly can't create partitions on my SD card anymore.
I'm using Paragon Partition Magic 11, and i can see and delete the partition on my the SD card, the data is now shown as 16gb unallocated, but when i try to create new partitions i get a strange error:
The disk already contains four primary partitions. Basic hard disks can contain only four primary partitions, including extended ones.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But i deleted all the partitions in Paragon?!
Windows Disk Manager can't delete or format the partition.
I'm using a Kingston 16gb class 10 Micro SDHC card, but i have also tried with an older Nokia 1gb Micro SDHC card with the same error.
Hope somebody can help...
I've made a discovery of my own...
It seems that even though Paragon deletes the partition on my SD card, it's not really gone.
After deleting the partition "successfully", i take the card out and put it in again... Paragon still sees a 16gb Fat32 Partition.
Windows Disk Management can also see a 16gb Partition, but it can't delete it.
Any suggestions?
I can't even format the SD Card
So.. i was installing RCMixHD Rom yesterday, i partitioned my card as follows (using Gparted in Ubuntu):
FAT32 14GB
EXT2 2GB
This Rom is awfully bad, it crashed few times and freezed that i couldnt even reboot so i had to remove battery when it was still running.
I decided going back to CM7 but i just realised that SD Card size is 12.84GB, and Gparted doesnt show any partitions on it, what the heck?
Use a card reader or connect the sd while in recovery and make sure all the partitions get mounted.
If android is booted the ext partition doesn't get mounted. Also if you created your ext partition while android was booted that probably messed up the ext partition and that's why the rom doesn't work right.
First of all a 16 GB cars is more likely 15 Gb in real life.
Moreover, the phone does not recognizes the ext partiton in the SD card menu (in settings), just the FAT32 one.
So 15GB-2GB-possibly some unpartitioned for data = 12.84 GB
That's OK.
Thanks, i think it's fixed now i got 14.8GB of space available again.
Is that a class 10 card? i am trying to figure out which card should i get for my desire, after bad experience with kingston 16gb class 10.
Its Class 4 Sandisk SD card.
if you want to partition the card try ext 3 for a2sd+
Minitool Partition manager is the way to go to create ext partitions on a sd card
free too..
Hello,
I know the sd card is standard formated as fat32, but fat32 has one limitation and that is that is that it can not store files over 4GB.
That means that most 720p movies will not fit on it because off the limitation. I wonder how I can get the sd card to ext4, when I booted in gparted live usb it could not find the sd card. I have succeeded partition it in ext4 using minitool partition wizard home edition. Now I only wonder if the phone does not overrule it, I have right now RCMix3D Runny 4.0
I've just bought a desire(used) with a used 8gb micro sdhc.
The phone wont read the 8gb sdhc,but it read my ****ty 2gb sd...I thought that the sdhc was broken but my notebook can read it .-.
try partitioning the SD card from your phone because i think it might be a different partition from what your phone accepts (FAT32 for Desire)
Make a fat32 format Gparted CD and everything will be fine!
