Is the card fully seated? Did you format the card prior to using it? Did you have an ext2 or ext3 partition on the old card but not on the new one? Try wiping cache & dalvik and then rebooting to see if the files show up on your device.

Did you try formatting the card using the option in the sd card and storage instead of using RA?

Ive tried to search the forums but cant seem to find the answer.
I wonder if I can safe format my sd card without ruining my DHD
I wonder what happens when SD card is upgraded to a higher capacity one. Is there a way to migrate existing data? Not sure what filesystem it uses either...

you can do this on your DHD, go to setting, SD & phone storage, unmount SD card and then you have option to format sdcard. this will fully wipe sdcard and format to fat32 filesystem.
you can format from pc as well, just unmount sdcard, right click on sdcard from pc ,an this you the format option, again format to fat32. only thing is on windows if you have a sd-ext partiton (ext3 or ext4) on sdcard,windows does not see it and won't format this partiton
and the no problem with saving your files on to pc,then formatting and putting those files back on again.
That sounds great. Data migration via PC should be easy. Here I was suspecting they'd somehow lock the content on the SD card.

Nah, they could not risk the case that if one's SD breaks, it would break the whole device
If I do a full wipe using ClockworkMod, are all the apps that I moved to my SD card also wiped?
Data wipe in clockwork wont wipe your SD card. I think you have to go into mounts and storage and specifically tell it.to wipe SD.

I don't necessarily want to wipe the whole SD card, just all the apps that I moved to my SD Card.
Not 100% sure on how to do that aside from manually uninstalling apps and deleting left over folders on your SD card. Might be some app that automates the process, I'm not really sure.

im running bootmanager on my 8gb sd card and its full can i transfer all the data i have onto my 16gb sd card? will the roms still work? and what about the apps i have backed up with titanium backup will they all be safe?
Yes. Best to MD5 before and after to make sure it copies correctly.

you think all the dada will be good?
I've copied between SD cards in the past without a problem. I just attached the phone to my Windows PC in Disk Drive mode, copied all the files to the PC, swapped SDs and swapped back. Save the 8GB card and don't wipe it until you're sure everything copied over fine.
As long as you haven't created an ext partition, you shouldn't have any problems copying from sd to sd.

And what if you did copy files over from a SD card with a ext3 partition to your PC? Can you elaborate a little more?

From my understanding, when you partition your SD card, you essentially split your memory card's capacity by the size of the ext partition. So when you mount your sd card for the purpose of backing up your memory card, you're only backing up the disk drive portion. You'll need to use ROOT EXPLORER or a file manager app that can access your phone's sd-ext folder.
On second thought, you should just do a NANDROID and be sure to include your sd-ext partition. Then boot into recovery. Create a new sd-ext partition (same size as the previous one) and copy the NANDROID folder over to your new SD card along with the disk drive backup.
Then restore your nand.

Just had a quick question. I'm rooted and running BlazingRom beta 5 and in wanting to partion my 8gb class 10 sd card. I've read up and read that it wipes EVERYTHING on the sd card. Since everything will be deleted, how am I supposed to re-flash the same rom right after I partion? Will I have to use Adb? If I don't use adb and don't flash a Rom and just reboot after I partion , will I be in a bootloop or will the BlazingRom still be installed? Sorry, I think I'm ovrrthinking this lol. Thanks.

You can erase your SD card and boot up your phone and it will boot into your current rom, its stored on your phone. Copy your SD to your computer and partition it then restore your data to your SD from your computer and you're good to go

Back everything up to the computer then partition the card. You should have an option in recovery as "Mount as MS" or something of the sort. After partitioning and converting it to ext3, while you are in recovery, plug up your phone to the computer and Mount as MS. Mounts your phone to the computer so you can transfer files back and forth your card

I'm using miui rom I would Like to partition my SD card as I'm sick of the low storage coming up all the time. Anyone have a easy guide no PC needed
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
reboot into cwm, then go to advanced, then go to partition sd card, pick 4096M and put 0 for the swap size
this will erase everything on your micro sd card though so be sure to back up everything
I done it thanks bud
