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.

When I went to copy a rom to my sdcard, it said my card was full. I figured it was because of old nandroid backups, so I deleted them, but the sd card space has actually gone down instead of freeing up space.
???
I'm baffled. Anyone know how to fix this?
What size sd card and where did you get it?
It is the one that came with my Incredible.

Is it possible to delete everything from my SD card and start new? It's saying there is 1.8gb total, but only 28mb available.
Or can I flash roms using my phone storage?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
You can just format it (FAT32). Backup what you need. And maybe store stuff on the internal storage. You have to use the SD card for ROM's etc.

The Synegy Rom is a huge rom, and it always says I am running low on memory. Is there a good way to reduce its size, or which applications are ok to move to the sd card???
Partition your SD card if you haven't and reflash. Partitioning helps with offloading some things onto the SD card

Reminder: partitioning you SDcard will erase it's contents. Backup first
so do a complete backup with titanium and then do what?
before you partition your sd card make sure you have anything you want saved (pictures, video, nandroid backups, and anything else) taken from your sd card and stored in a safe place on your computer.
I have a silly question about partitioning my sd card.
After i back it all up and then partition it, can i put everything i backed up back on the card, and if so where do i put it at?
I have a EVO 4g if that matters with a 8 gig card.

Yes but when u transfer everything back to sd card make sure u open partition folder all select all files and then transfer cuz if u drag partition folder to sd card youll just have one folder called partition instead of all your files

My SD card is 2GB. I have one big partition (about 1.7GB) and another ext4 partition for INT2EXT scripts...
So, how can I make to have 2 partitions: one about 1.5GB and the other one 0.5GB?
I have to shrink bigger partition and extend the smaller one somehow...
And I don't have card reader.
With minitool partition you can resize partitions while saving their data (if all goes right-so do a backup anyway)

It will create another partition, so I'll have 3 partitions. That's not what i want.

You can use a USB card reader or a MicroSD reader; for sure you can't use your phone as bridge for mounting sd card.

To format the microSD card on your mobile device, from the Home screen, touch Menu key > Settings > General Settings > Storage Storage Icon .
Your microSD card information is shown on this screen, along with your device memory. Touch Format SD card. Review the message about data, and touch Format SD card again. Touch Delete all to complete the formatting process.
Warning! Formatting your microSD card will remove all personal information from the card. This information cannot be recovered.
I hope it will helps you. Good Luck
Is it okay if I will use a pc when formatting a sd card?
Usually SDcard come preformatted. If is a large SDcard and you are storing extremely large files like videos you may want to use the exFat rather than Fat32.
You can get free software like SD formatter to format your SDcard card on your PC.
