Hi!
I formatted my SD card to use with A2SD earlier today in GParted, but I forgot to format the rest of the card to FAT32. Now my SD card says ReadOnly and I can't find the card on my computer...
Should I use a card reader or what should I do?
Thanks alot in advance!
By computer, do you mean your Windows, or in gParted?

I ve using pocket mechanic to format my sd card in fat32 instead of FAT. Now i can t see my sd card anymore. I ve been trying to format it again but none of them reveal my sd card.
Is there any solution Thanx in advance.
Problem solved
Thanx i v used card export to reveal the storage card then a format program for ppc
Your Artimis can read Fat 32. When I used a Fat 32 format with the card IN the device I had to do a soft re-set before the card appeared.
Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.
I've just bought the new SD card 32 GB and tried to partition but when mount on the phone, there is error " SD card damged, need to reformat again"
After format the card by using the phone. The card can be used. Is there problem with the card or my ROM's phone?
I'm using Zte v9 mytap Optus and it has been rooted
How do you partition the SD-Card? On your PC? - Which filesystem have you choose? (ext3?)
Kotake
Yeah. I did it on PC using mini tool partition with win XP. I don't have card reader. Just plug the phone to PC and mount the card. The card was formated fat32 and ext2
No one cannot help me ?
Try Gparted.
Remember that the first partition needs to be FAT32, followed by your smaller ext partition.
sd died, i thick that her life finish...

If you can use the card after you formated with your phone, everything is okay.
The card just came unformatted or in the wrong format, it is not deffective.
Hello,
I have a 16gb SD card that I am trying to format. It has an EXT4 folder on it that I cannot delete. I cannot write to the SD Card as it is showing as in use.
I have a back up for my Desire but it is on my PC, therefore I cannot write this to the SD card. I can only access the SD card through my PC as when it is in the phone it will not mount.
Could someone explain how to delete the EXT4 folder so that I can write to the SD card? At the moment I have no Mobile!
Many thanks,
Simon

I guess you mean that you have an ext4 partition (formating normally doesn't care about folders).
I would suggest formatting the sd-card with an sd reader outside of your phone.
An alternative would be re-formatting your sd via recovery if you have clockwork mod installed. (or e.g. via adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714)
OK, managed to delete the file through EXT4 Recovery and mounted to my PC. Thankd for the help by the way!
Simon.....
I just inserted and put files on this new sd card. They files work but when I go into Clockwork mod I cant view any files.
There is an ERROR MOUNTING SDCARD. Can anyone please help me get this to work?
Thanks!
If it isn't already, have you tried formatting your sd card to FAT32?

I think that solved it. I downloaded some partitioning program and formatted to FAT 32
