Here is a link to paragon partition manager 10. download X64 bit version demo mode. It worked for me.

*This can be used to partition your SD card if you do not want or know how to use ubuntu live cd.
ty version 9 didnt work will test this out
This app worked great, I too have Vista 64, and got this the other day for free from a very nice xda member that posted a link. Program works great.
The paragon 9 works fine on my vista 64 machine. Only thing it couldn't do was assign a drive letter for the ext2 partition, which I don't mind because it's not needed.

Hello, I accidentally wiped my sd card and ever since I am no longer able to connect to my pc. I do not get any options at all, Does anyone know how I can fix this>

sorry
I am running windows 7 with the cyanogen mod 6.1.2 supersonic, and my phone is the evo. I typed this so fast i forgot to ad the details. but, everytihng was working fine until i cleaned the sd card.
Hey,
I just sold a HTC Desire phones and had previously partitioned the Micro SD cards from within the recovery tool on the phone to allow for 1GB of the 4GB sd card to be used as part of the system. Now when I want to reuse the card as a regular card, I can only see 2.67GB available. I've tried Easus and MIniTool partition software as well as SDformatter, none of them see the full 4gb. I can't remember now correctly whether I was seeing 2.66gb primary and 1gb unallocated in the windows device manager after having messed around trying to merge them, but now I can only see 2.66 in every program I tried.
Would appreciate any help on how I can see and use the rest of the card

If you can get your hands on a Linux Machine, a card reader and most importantly gParted. You might be abled to fix it. I have seen mem cards, usb drives etc which cant be recovered on Windows getting rescued by gParted. If you can get gparted, these steps usually work.
1) Select partition [Careful]
2) Goto Device then create partition table.
3) Then format.
Hopefully it should work. Otherwise you might have to use dd.

Thanks for the reply, what's DD?
Would I not be able to do this on a windows machine and it would have to be linux?

dd is a tool (again) on Linux which can clone disks etc. And gParted is a tool which I've heard works on Linux, Windows and Mac. But I've personally never tried it. But getting a copy of linux is pretty easy. Just download the iso (I recommemd Ubuntu, burn it onto a USB or CD and boot it. You can do a live session (Dosen't need to be installed, runs of RAM) then use gparted directly or install it ( 'sudo apt-get install gparted' in a Ubuntu Terminal).

Hey thanks a lot for such a helpful post, if that's what I have to do, I think it will be a bit too much effort just for the sake of 1gb extra on cards that are only a few euro anyway in the first place. Thanks again anyway but I might just have to leave it
I had an 8GB flash drive which was formatted to EXT4, it was useless for me as Windows didn't recognize Ext partitions. I searched a lot and luckily found a Windows application which can format EXT back to FAT. Below is the link:

You can still format the drive using Windows built in tools like diskpart. Not sure, but I think that it's still possible to format the drive even from the Management Tools.

tool
mini partition tool pro it can detect all kinds of partitions and format to any also.you can move resize and whatever you want to a drive
There's no tool needed. If Windows does not detect the drive then most likely the drive is bad. If the drive is detected then you simply right click and format from the My Computer window.

Hi - I have a galaxy s3 mini (GT-I8190N) and rooted about a year ago following instructions on a thread at XDA and it has worked perfectly with 16 Gig SD with about 3 Gig partitioned for Link2SD. So now I am attempting to go with a 32 Gig with a bigger SD partition as my old memory is pretty full. I hit a problem and cant fix it.
I managed to back up all the data to the computer running on windows 7. I couldn't get Ext2 Volume Manager to mount the partition so I used a read only program called Disk Internals.
The new 32 Gig is partitioned about 20/10 Gig (FAT32/Ext2) both as primary (Used minitool partition wizard). Got the back up data to the FAT32 side now I can not mount the partition again using Ext2 Volume Manager. I tried another program called Ext2IFS but it doesn't work on windows 7. I tried another computer also windows 7 and it is the same problem.
Specifically what happens is the Linux partition is recognized as PARTITION 2. When I double click on it to activate the mount points, the status indicates STOPPED. I also tried this on a old windows XP and have the same problem, also I cannot get Ext2IFS to work on the XP either.
As you can see this is becoming a painful exercise and if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. I only now need to copy the old data onto the new Ext2 partition to complete the task.
Cheers
Simon

You busy bots aren't answering
Howabout I create a linux partition on the comp and figure out the basics of linux. I reckon that would work. What you think please?
Just in case anyone has a mount problem with Ext2 FSD in the future. This is how I fixed it.
I am using an old dell laptop with windows 7
I was going to make a fresh partition for Linux but decided to use a virtual machine.
Oracle VM VirtualBox didn't work for me so I tried VMware Player and it worked fine. Loads of tutorials around just try to find one with a decent count and good reviews. Make sure 10 to 20 GIG free space available.
Get the Linux flavor from from the developer as an ISO.. Loads of tutorials again out there. Once it is in and working the file transfer is simple apart from you may need root /elevated permission level to move some of the files.
