[Q] A2SD+ mounting sdcard in windows

right so i have now formated my sdcard with an ext4 partition and a fat32 and it works quite well but i cant seem to mount the sdcard in windows so i can transfer files over to the fat32 partition, it works tho in linux on my laptop so what am i doing wrong :| ?

Did u format it by yourself ? I used ROM manager to create ext3 partitions and no problem with windows, it just doesn't see ext partitions which is normal.

Is your FAT32 partition the first partition on your SD card, or did you create the EXT partition first?
Regards,
Dave

fat is first but it seems after a phone reboot it works in windows again :S

[Q] How to remove sd-ext?

I'm using recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5 to create my partition 2Gb and with wipe 32.
now i going to change my sd card. so i plan to remove the partition in the previous sd card. in clockwork i cant find 0kb in create partition section.
is there any idea to delete the partition in sd card???

You could use a partition program that recognizes EXT to remove it, such as gparted I'm sure.
Or, you could switch over to amon-ra recovery and overwrite your partition with 0MB size.

Well for completely removing the partiton, you need to use a partition manager.
GParted as suggested or Easus.

Repartition the card using Amon Ra and select 0mb for swap, 0mb for ext and use the full card's size for fat32.

Put the card in a card reader and format it.

hi there, do u use Easus before?
i using Easus, but the problem is why it can't detect the ext part of my sd-card?

Maybe you have ext4. Easeus says:
Linux partition management: delete, create, format, recover EXT2/EXT3 partition

Use gparted to get ur sdcard back to what it was originally.....simple....

[Q] Problem on Partitioning SD Card n Ext.4

I format my SD Card (8GB) by using the "Partition SD Card" in CWM-AlphaRev Recovery v.2.5.1.8 to 4GB with 0MB Swap size.
After that, I can't partition the card back to 8GB. Anyone knows how to do?
Another question is I formatted SD Card in 7GB FAT32 n 1GB in ext 4 n put the ROM file in the FAT32. However, I can't find the ROM file in recovery mode... How should I do?
Thanks so much for help!!!

Try Minitool partition Wizard if you are a windows user or Gparted if you are a Linux user .....

U can use Gparted boot cd if u are a win user, and put the UNPACKED zip file in the root of the FAT32 partition.
I've seen many people, including me , unpacking the rom and not finding it using recovery...

Thanks both of u. Finally I used the minitools partition wizard to fix the partition problem.
However, I unpacked the ROM in FAT32 partition n I can't find the files in "install zip from sdcard". How to fix it? and I can only find below frm "choose zip from sdcard" :
- Android/
- LOST.DIR/
Thanks!!

[Q] Problem Mounting and Formatting SD Card

After I format my Samsung Extreme Speed Class 10 16GB Micro SDHC card in Android, it will mount in Clockworkmod Recovery 5.8.0.2, but won't show in Windows. Then formatting it using MiniTools Partition Wizard makes it visible to Windows but it then won't mount in recovery and Android says it's damaged!
After formatting it in Gparted neither will recognize it. Could someone help please?
I'm using ICS for HTC Desire 0.5.1, default HBoot, Clockworkmod Recovery Touch 5.8.0.2, aGPS and default homescreen with no scripts.
Thanks.

We have same problem before and i do this steps to solved it...
1. Format sd on windows (fat32)
2. Reformat again using CWM or 4EXT, format sd card then;
2.a. partition sd card
2.b. remove all partition and start from the scratch
2.c. 1st-ext partition 1024
2nd skip
swap skip
select 4ext
(done)
3. Reboot
I hope this will help you!

Thanks it's working now!
So annoying that this is necessary, is there a reason?

Yeah I needed to do it again and now it won't work. Tried it twice; must've been a fluke.
Can somebody please help, the problems with this are getting ridiculous.

[Q] Can no longer mount sd card after formatting sd card with EaseUs Partition Master

Hi everyone,
After my HTC Desire (GSM) went out of warranty after 2 years, i thought is was time to root the thing and get rid of my memory problems.
Here is what I did:
I decided to use following XDA guide: Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide UPDATED [04/04/11] , as Revolutionary is still in Beta.
- Rooting went OK (Unrevoked 3.21, not 3.32)
- S-Off with AlphaRev 1.8 went OK
- Partitioning with Gparted: Gparted kept looking for my SD card, but no luck . So I decided to use Easus Partition Master (on Windows XP) to Format the card. My PC could mount the SD card, so i backed up the content to my hard drive. Next I formatted to FAT32 with success. It did seem to add a small other partition that I could not delete (??). I booted to Gparted again, but it still could find the sd card.
The next day I wanted to look at my SD card, but my PC could no longer see it. The option 'USB Diskdrive' has disappeared . Cannot see SD card with ES Explorer on my Desire as well. When I try to format using the Recovery, I get: 'E: Cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ......'
I ran the fastboot commands as described in the [Troubleshooting] thread successfully, but that did not help.
What should i try next? Can somebody point me in the right direction? Should i try mounting and reformatting with my brother's Xperia U?
Some Info:
HTC Desire GSM (before rooting: Froyo 2.2.2 and Hboot 0.93.0001)
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT 0.93.0001
CWM - Alpharev Recovery 2.5.1.8
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Does recovery find the sd-card?
That's what you get for not following instructions. Best partitions are made my 4ext recovery or gparted.

I cannot perform operations such as backup/mount/format sd card from the AlphaRev recovery menu if that's what you're saying.
I only used Easus because the Gparted could not find the sd card in the first place, so i figured I do a generic FAT32 format with the Partition Master and then give the Gparted another spin.... Still wonder why Gparted could not find the sd card and why the Partition Master added that small extra partition (Errors on sd card?).

Alright. So my best guess is that the EaseUS Partition Master screwed up my micro sd card's format ('Protected Area'?), which is why the phone can no longer read it.
So I think my best option is to either:
- get a hold of a micro sd to sd adapter, plug it in my pc and use SD Formatter 3.1 to format it to FAT32 properly, or
- buy new SD card altogether
and then try Gparted again.
Comments welcome...
