I wanted to make 2 ext 4 partitons for CrystalPyramid v0.5 using gparted-live-0.9.0-6 so I did create ext4 1gb ext4 350mb and fat32 partiton with all other storige. But now it show up as if I had 1gb sd card. Why? Even booting in gparted live it shows that I have 1gb sd card?
You have to create the fat32 first and then the two ext partitions (all three primary).
And put the sd card in a card reader, not through the phone usb connection

Can't do it anymore since it show up as 1gb sd card (it's actually 4gb) in gparted

Don't have card reader that can read microSD
I saved the day thanks to samsung micro SD adapter.

Depends on the system one is using. Ubuntu often has problems with card readers.

Hi forum!
I've tried the Galaxy S lag fix and it worked perfect, but when i wanted to try out the fix with the ext4 file system i suddenly can't create partitions on my SD card anymore.
I'm using Paragon Partition Magic 11, and i can see and delete the partition on my the SD card, the data is now shown as 16gb unallocated, but when i try to create new partitions i get a strange error:
The disk already contains four primary partitions. Basic hard disks can contain only four primary partitions, including extended ones.

But i deleted all the partitions in Paragon?!
Windows Disk Manager can't delete or format the partition.
I'm using a Kingston 16gb class 10 Micro SDHC card, but i have also tried with an older Nokia 1gb Micro SDHC card with the same error.
Hope somebody can help...
I've made a discovery of my own...
It seems that even though Paragon deletes the partition on my SD card, it's not really gone.
After deleting the partition "successfully", i take the card out and put it in again... Paragon still sees a 16gb Fat32 Partition.
Windows Disk Management can also see a 16gb Partition, but it can't delete it.
Any suggestions?
I can't even format the SD Card
Hello.
I have bought a new SD Card (kingston 16gb Class4).
I had a lot of problems with ext3 make. By Gparted it have errors.
I have readed this topic.
Can I repair my SD Card?
Sry for my english.
How are you connecting the card? Via a card reader or still in the phone? If it's still in the phone make sure you are in recovery and not booted in to android.
I made it by card reader. Formatting and partitioning by recovery - errors.
Have you tried erasing all the partitions and creating them again? What happens if you click the 'Repair' button?
I've always done my partitioning with my card in the phone, connected to my PC while in recovery and used Minitool Partition Wizard for Windows (this software was suggested in a thread I read a while ago) and never had any problems.
There is also the possibility of the card having a hardware problem, so you might need to swap it under warranty.
yes, first i have erased all partitions (deleted)
On repair ext - error, fat32 works fine.
first make an extended partition for your fat32 and inside that a primary fat32.
The unallocated space make it ext3

shouldn't both partitions be primary (no extended ones)?
erase everything 1st keep it unformatted then create fat32 primary then ext primary (optional linuxs swap) this is what i have done when installed miui rom data2ext
i suggest you dont use that card reader try through the cell....
I have tried a lot of methods - ext still no works.

Where did you get the card from?
Stupid question but two of my friends bought cheap (fake) cards from eBay and both had problems with them, either the card kept losing data or they go errors loading from the card due to the poor quality. In which case you need to spend a little more and get a proper card from amazon on a high street retailer.
If not then as suggested use try formatting and partitioning the card through the recovery on your phone, most of the up-to-date recoveries can do this and it's the easiest way to get the card ass needed for a2sd etc. if it still doesn't work then take the card back it's probably faulty.
I bought this card too and even though I had no issues formatting the card I do have speed issues with it. I've been in contact with Kingston and they're looking into it. My writing speed is 1.6Mb/s....
But now a tip for you, I couldn't use Gparted since it's Live CD wont start my monitors. So I downloaded Easeus Partition Master. Very easy to use and it worked perfect.
Start with your Fat32 partition and then your Ext partition.
You can find the program here: http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

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.
I've tested two sandisk class 4 SD cards.
If I format it to fat32 and partition the space(to use link2SD), my phone refuses to use the SD card and says it's not there. I use minitools for partition and the official SD card maker software for formating. I did everything by the book and tried multiple options(different labels, ntfs, ext2, etc.)
A fresh, unallocated space card works perfectly fine however.
My phone is rooted and unlocked bootloader running softMIUI rom with a modfied power saving blend kernel.
Please help! This is confusing the hell out of me.
Was looking at your post and I decided to grab a few of my MicroSD card 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb and 16gb....
I formated all of them on windows .... right click format, all default settings... Fat32. These are MicroSD cards that have had information on them... they all run fin on my arc. All different brands.
This leads me to believe that there's possibly either something wrong with the MsD card or the reader on the phone.

Solved it
Did this:
Changed the partition id to this:
"0*06 fat16,greater than 32 mb"
and made the second partition fat32 as well.
Removed the 100mb linux swap file partition I created....not sure if that was necessary.
i want to use this app:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889550 but i see it dosent work on exfat and i dont know how to know if i have exfat or fat32 please help ..
I'm using directory bind (latest version) on exfat and it works fine for me. You can just put the card in your computer and go to its propertes, it will tell you which format it is on.
64GB micro sd cards usually come with exfat format out of the box. 32GB usually FAT32
i think most sdcards are fat32 by default--may be wrong--but you can research phone specs or Google sdcard specs for n2.
Not aware any card comes with exfat--if you are original owner it should be fat32
you can also use partition programs like gparted or sdformatter that should list the sdcard and say how it is formatted--
either way backup sdcard first and even phone
