I don't know about CWM method but you can use Gparted on your PC and do it easily... Search Google for USB Gparted boot..
i try formatting using pc but the ext partition became allocated volume..ok i give it a try..thnx
If you are rooted you could use Link2SD.
But if you want to remove it use official SD Formater 3.1. First backup your existing files from sd

Hi all
I have a small question , it is possible to change layout of partitions on SD card using only phone, without pc ? For example recover, or terminal, scripts, whatever and keep fat32 with my ROM ( no access to pc for now)???
I made mistike when create partitions on SD card
Bad layout -> fat32 ext4 341mb ext4 1024mb
...the correct one should be look like this
Good layout -> fat32 ext4 1024mb ext4 341mb
So basically how to delete this two ext part. Without delete fat32 or change them over using only mobile.
Thanks for any advice

I have heard, gparted can do this. But i really don't know how and highly recommend not to do it!
If i were you, i would do it so:
1.) Start my pc with an ubuntu live cd
2.) Copy sd card's content on an external storage
3.) Boot phone into recovery, format and partition sd card (or directly in ubuntu with gparted gui)
4.) Start pc with ubuntu live cd again and copy back the sd card's content in their corresponding partitions

But you can easily copy the content of the FAT32 partition on you PC, format all the SD creating the new partition layout, than move back the files you copied to your pc on your "new" formatted SD!

Windows does not recognize linux file system, like ext. Furthermore, it hides some files. So if you do this operation with windows, he cannot backup the apps on ext partition and maybe some files on the fat 32 partition won't be copied with. Imho, using linux is much safer.

i think you mean to say that your Sd card files are not showing ?
But when you view with link 2 Sd then its showing there right ?
I think u need to backup your Sd card in PC then u need to format your Sd card in fat 32 using you're phone not in PC .... Then restore your files via USB cable from PC ....
and also do a wipe data /factory reset in stock recovery

link2sd cannot mount its scripts on stock roms!! That's why you cannot view the 2nd partition!!
@leodasal2
No buddy.... I'm using link2sd on stock rom... And it's working awesome.
I think he doesn't have problem with ext partition but the fat32 partition
This happened to me once your sdcard must be failing, you better backup your data before it says format unable to read device

Ya I'm on stock kernel as in signature, and I can create link also.
No problem at all.
Im also on stock Rom& stock kernal and link2sd is working perfect for me....
but i had these problems before....
I experimented many times by relinking and recreating mount scripts...but the problem came once in a while.
But after that i've backed up the .apk s and cleaned up the second partition and cleared data(settings-applications-manage-link2sd-clear data button) and now again used link2sd, created links and now the mounting problems are over! hoo....
Try formatting your sdcard,
Backup first in your pc, or delete your ext partition using minitool partition or easeus partition, make it (your sdcard) empty , copy paste cwm to your sd, and flash it via recovery , goto Advanced n then choose Partition SD Card . Hope this help..
Also, if its not working again, try deleting "content holder" or something like that, on /system/sd . Use root explorer (recommended) .

In CWM or PX recovery there is option to make partition on sd card. Search it, perhaps it is in advenced options
Before making a partition: Copy all files from you sd-card to your computer, then partition the sdcard, after partition, restore all the files again

Oh, yeah, i forget to write this. Making partitions via recovery deletes all your files from sd-card. About two weeks ago I did it -,-
But making partition via PC is safy

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
It's better to make partition size not more than by 10% of your sd-card.
Like if you have 8gb sd-card then you should make around 750-780mb to be on safe side
Hi folks
I have rooted and installed cm7 quite a while back, whenever I restart my phone one among all apps shows as I have been removed (only icon remains on home screen ) but it comes back after a restart but some other behaves the same at that time
Any ideas??

Are those apps installed on your sdcard using either the default app2sd or some form of data2sd?
I've noticed this problem when the sdcard has issues...
Yes those apps are on sdcard

Copy your entire sdcard to your comp using an SD card reader, format it and copy the data back.
Do a titanium or a nandroid backup (it will back up the apps stored on SD too)
See if that works.

I personally use Linux so I don't know about Windows partition tools but I think mini partition tool is the way to go for Windows.
Depends on whether you just format the fat32 partition or the entire drive. I would suggest doing a nandroid backup first. Copy all the data from the fat32 partition to your computer. Format and remake the partitions. Then copy the data back and restore using the nandroid backup.

Find any old nokia phone that has a micro sd card slot and put your sd card in it. Then format the sd card using the phones file manager and voila the partition is deleted!!
How old? Which specific model?

I personally use the Nokia 5233
connect your phone to PC,enable mass storage,install mini tool partition wizard on PC and open it and there you'll see your hdd and sdcard partitions,then delete sdext partition and extend the fat32 partiton of sdcard with the free space that has left after deleting sdext partition

No, I think the OP asked how he can delete the sdext partition i.e. merge it with the original partition. I'm not sure if that can be done from the recovery.

A valid point, but I would still do a full format. after copying everything I needed over of course Both methods work
