You could just move your apps back to internal memory and then swap out the card and reformat.

I think its even easier:
Dismount SD card, remove and insert in PC, copy its contents and then copy them to your new card. Insert new card.
That's what I did when I formated my card when I was suspicious it had errors. No need to move data to memory.

[Q] changing sd cards

I have a 4gb sd card thath i partitioned but i want to change to a 16 gb can i just switch?

No, if you are using A2SD+, D2W, D2E etc.
You must partition the new card. Create a NANDROID Backup with the old card in the phone. Then copy all of the content from OLD > NEW card. Restore Nandroid.

[Q] Migrating to a new microsd card

Hello all, I have a rooted play running stock firmware 2.3.4.
I want to migrate to a bigger SD card and have done a titanium backup of my apps. However some of my apps I "moved to sd card". So my question is can I copy all my files and folders from the old sd card to my desktop and then to the new sd card? Will the apps on the sd card work just fine? Please advise. Thank you.

Worked for me. I replaced mine that way with no problem. Just make sure you copy everything, and don't wipe the old card until you test out the new one, just in case.

You don't even have to do a titanium backup, all you need to do is copy EVERYTHING, that includes hidden folders, make sure you backup android.secure folder, that's where everything you "Move to SD Card" in settings goes

All that you have to do is copy everything from your old SD card straight to your new one. I did this upgrading from an 8gb micro SD to a 32gb micro SD.

That's because you don't have the sd-ext partition data on the sd-card. Stick the old one back in, see if it boots. If it does, do advanced backup, sd-ext, put the backup on new sd-card, put new sd-card in, and restore sd-ext.

sd ext?? i will find a folder with the name sd ext on the old sd card after the advance backup and copy paste it to the new?the phone boots with the old sd card.

What you should do is restore sd-ext to new card.
Should be "old card in - backup - copy paste backup to new card fat - new card in - advanced restore data (or maybe some recovery has a sdext restore selection?)".
Hope it help

-With old sd card on the phone, go to recovery and do Nandbackup.
-make ext partition on new sd
-copy all files from old sd to new sd
-place new sdcard to phone
-go to recovery and nandrestore

Found!!!
Copy your all data from SD card.
Go to Phone Settings> Storage Settings> Unmount SD card> Erase SD card.
This will delete all your old partitions from SD card.
Now reboot in CWM recovery and partition your SD card according to your need.
Restore your data.
Cheers!!!
