Is there any way to make a 2G SD card look like a 256M SD card to an old device.
My ipaq210 allows me to boot from an old small MMC/SD card but cannot boot from a new 'large' one.
Is there any way to re-format heads/cyl/sectors/...
a 2G SD card to trick the old hardware into thinking its a 128or256M card?
I don't know anything about this stuff.
Sorry for not finding through search.
no way if the sd card in question is sdhc then you can't use it
otherwise you can partitionize it just like one do a harddisk

Thanks for the help.
I tried partitioning several different ways.
Still only likes the small cards.
It does not even get to the boot loader.
Must be a hardware incompatbility.

I was new once also and have asked some DUMB questions so ill follow his comment wish a reason. Root does not store on your SD card its all internal memory files. Only hand SD had in the root was flashing zip files from the card in the internal memory
I appreciate you being helpful and nice about it I no I'm a noob just didn't want to mess my phone up and after thinking about it I just pulled it and everything was fine.

I actually have a question regarding this.
I want to upgrade to a 16gb sd card and was wondering if there is a thread showing step by step instructions to do so.
I'm rooted and have a couple roms backed up along with titanium backing up my apps.
Do I really have to format the new sd card to fat 32? the 2gb sd card that came with it seems to work fine which I believe isn't formatted fat 32.
Is it really as easy as copying and pasting over??? I did not partition the sd card.
Also, after searching the forums I ran into a concerning thread regarding sd cards that DON'T work.... should I be worried?

If you want to transfer your files from the 2gb sd card to the 32 gb sd card just copy all files to the 32 gb sd card. Be sure to format the 32 gb sd to FAT32. I dont know how you didnt have to format your other card to fat32 unless you havent turned s-off. But anyways to format it to fat32 just plug in phone to computer( make sure you put phone on disk drive not charge only) and open "My computer"(shows all your drives ex. C:, D:, ect.) Right click on the drive that is your sd card and choose format. Make sure its in FAT32 and click format. You can do quick format too. Hope this helps

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking it was a lot harder than just copying over the files.
I have S-Off and I am pretty sure it's not formatted FAT32. I just checked the properties and it just says "FAT" and if I go to format it the selection at default shows "FAT" as well. But if standard procedure is to format to FAT32 I will on my next sd card.

I've been running my A2SD for 2 weeks now and am happy with it - other than a few apps stutter a bit.
I've put this down to my slow 'non classed' 16gb memory card, so I ordered a Class 6 16gb one the other day.
Its turned up today, and I want to swap it for the current one.
As I don't have a Linux computer, whats the best way of doing this? I can't see the partition with the Apps on it in my Windows PC.
Should I just use Titanium Backup and do a batch backup of all my 'User Apps and System Data', then copy the contents of my SD Card to my PC.... then format the new card for A2SD, then copy the contents back and restore my Backup?
Any help appreciated!
download the ubuntu live cd here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download. it will run from a cd or usb stick and dosent need to be installed, you will be able to see your sd-ext as its a linux os, you can then just copy the apps to your hdd, partition your new card using the native ubuntu disk utility and then copy your apps to your new sd card
Thanks for the reply.
Sounds simple enough - I'll get downloading.
Do I just stick my SD in a USB reader and do it, or read the SD straight from the Desire?
Cant you just copy the files to your pc then paste them back when you put the new SD card in? Worked for me today... well all seems fine upto yet

He can't because he has a ext2/3 file system partiotion that he's using for A2SD and ext is not shown in windows.
You probably don't have ext2/3 and that's why it worked without problems for you.

I don't think it matters, it should work both ways.
Just out of curiousity.... will my Mac see the A2SD partition on my SD card since Apple OS shares a lot in common with Linux?
Wouldnt the easiest option to be to do a nandroid, partition the new sd card, then just restore the nandroid saves faffing about with other stuff.
Depending on what rom your using it may be a better option to use data2sd
Now that I've been flashing roms like crazy I'm thinking I need a bigger sdcard. 32 or 64gb? And I'm assuming there's a procedure on how to do it, not just switching them out without having to do anything.
Depending how much stuff you keep on your sd card (music and etc) stick with a 16 gb or 32 gb. When ready to swap cards, go to settings/sd card/unmount or remove sd card. Pop off the back cover, remove battery, push down on sd card and it should spring up, then pull out gently.
Unable to read SD Card on HTC Evo 4G
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I need help fixing my phone. The problem started when I unlocked my phone using the HTCdev method. I have since rooted my Evo 4G and I'm still unable to access the SD Card through the phone. I'm able to access my SD Card when I plug it in to the computer via USB though. I fat 32 formatted the card and used the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command with no success. What do you think is wrong? It doesn't sound like the card is damaged.
Thanks in advance,

sounds good but what about all the data on it ; rom zips, pics, music, don't I have to save it somewhere so I can put it on the new card? Is that what the umount does?

Just copy everything from the old card to your computer, then copy everything back to the new card.

This really has nothing to do with this thread. It could be a bad card, try it out in a card reader to a computer and see if it still works. And you don't need to format the card, android will format it the first time you put it in the phone.
Thanks
Thanks guys, I fixed the problem.
Hi, I'm with a 2GB Micro SD card and I'm thinking of upgrading to a 4GB these days, but for now I'm thinking of swapping every now and then another 2GB Micro SD card because just 1 card cannot handle that many music and videos.
Has any of you tried this? Will I get any errors? I need to know first before I get it off a friend. If I format it (like wipe everything off it) and then insert it on the phone just to start the music player will it have trouble loading? Because you know, on the old SD card there are lots of folders by apps and whatnot.
yes it will have problems because some of the data are saved on the sd card ..

How about copying those files into the new SD card, there won't be any problems then, right?

if you're planning to move from a 2gb to a 4gb memory card, just copy paste the all to the files and try to make sure that you also copy the hidden (invisible files) by pressing Ctrl + A (copies all files)
