Hi everyone,
I have a problem: I think I've ruined my 16GB Micro SD card.
I've tried to partition it using MiniTool Partition Wizard, into fat32 + ext3. Somehow, now Windows only sees 11.38GB on the card.
I've repeatedly formatted it to no avail. I've tried deleting all partitions using MiniTool, but it just keeps getting smaller! What am I doing wrong? How can I start again....I just want those 4 or 4 GB back!
Hi there. If I am not mistaken, Windows cannot recognized the ext partition. This is why you will only see the fat32 size. I suggest you to use Gparted live cd to repartition again your SD card

Yep, use Gparted and use a card reader or the phone in recovery. In recovery don't forget to mount all the partitions.

hi, i am using desire S-ON with 512 mb of ext partition created through rom manager. Now i want reformat my sd card into 1 gb ext 3 partition. Rom manager doesnt have any option of 1Gb. i tried using gparted live but that doesnt detect my sd card. I am connecting my sd card Via phone. Any clue on how can i get my sd card reformatted?
Use a usb card reader with gparted instead of through your phone

Connect the phone to the PC and mount the SD card from recovery BEFORE you turn the PC on and GParted should see it then.
Thanks a lot . mounting the phone before pc starts worked for me. Cant believe i wasted so much time because of this simple trick. Thanks once again
I was using gparted to give myself some more ext3 space on my 16gb microsd card and I may have unplugged / unmounted my phone or something so the partitioning failed. gparted (and other programs) now only see 12gb of space on the card. Is there anything I can do to recover the 4gb?
Have you tried to delete all the partitions and fully format the sd card?

Yeh, still 12gb.
And if you put your sdcard in a cardreader on a pc or laptop and run a tool like partition wizzard (or Something similar) is there a partition that says unallocated space ?

I did this once as well
open the card up with Gparted again, delete all the partitions, unmount then remount the card, and you should have the full size in unallocated memory.
i have an 8gb sd card on my HTC wildfire S, i used this rom manager app to partition my sd card but instead of getting more internal memory now my 8gb card is showing 6gb total memory !!!! even after formatting it no change.
"plz guide me to get back my partitioned memory" thank's
Download minitool partition wizard for your pc, run it and delete tge partitipns on your card.

Partitioning your SD card doesn't give you more internal memory

Boot into cwm recovery click mounts and format sd

try partition your SD from clockworkmod to 1GB external 0M swap then go to play store and install link2sd.
partitioning SDcard give you virtual 2 SD's. 1 of them, 1GB ext3 partition can be used as internal memory with link2sd. just select all apps and click create link... you will get so much memory. i have installed more than 100apps.
do not need to return your sdcard
because，now 2G you can not see it，but still can use。you can link2sd or data2sd，very useful。

From what I can recall cwm only recognizes fat 32. You can format your sd card to fat 32 using a specific windows app. It's called guiformat.

You can also use Easus Partition Manager.
I've been using it for years. It's what I used to format my own 64GB MicroSD in Windows to Fat32.
It's free btw

Well, I have a class 10 16 gb micro sd car. today after installing the Increase Internal Memory mod by XtremeSilencer, I partitioned it using the Minitool partition wizard. after booting it can't recognize the sd card but detects it in cwm. So I know my sd card is alright. so I flashed the whole rom(Revoluotion HD ICS) but still it can't recognize the sd card although detected in cwm just like previous times. After then I tried a lot like formatting it,partitioning it by both CWM & Minitool from FAT32 to FAT-EXT123..every format. But nope..nothing happened. I even flashed the stock firmware.. still no respite. please help.. :crying:
