Hi. I tried to create a few partitions on my microSD card (PC -> phone connection) using Windows 7 Disk Management tool. A few first operations went ok, but then options to delete, resize partition, create new one on unallocated space became unavailable. Formatting is still working. Does anybody know what could happen and how to fix this?
Thanks.

wats the problem with cwm? Wat error it shows?
Insert it in PC card reader. Find some partition manager, other than mini partition tool, for PC and try to repartition it.
If you use Windows 7 go to Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management
and check if your card (and it's partitions) is shown. If it is try to remove existing partitions and create new FAT 32 partition spaning over entire disc.
i've used easeus partition master, and
easeus partition recovery + partition table doctor +hdd regenerator + sd formatter + minitool partition + [email protected] partition recovery+ flobo
i think it's hopeless
@tomashokenberi all of the programs including disk management , are showing one unallocated partition (1 Gb) and everytime i try to format the partition, the program fails, all of them
@vikraam the cwm just says formatting then done ( nothing else )
somebody said to me to try an mbr tool or program, and i havent found one that works on my pc (x64) do you have suggestions
How many partitions are actually shown in disk management? One or more? If there is more than one partition try to delete all partitions then create one new partition.
Also if your Windows PC uses some "ext2/3 enabler", that is software and driver that allows access to ext2/3/4 partitions from windows it may interfere with disk management and create problems.
it is showing only one partition, i've tryed gparted live cd, on several different pcs and different sd adapters all saying ( access denied, or write protected ), and yes the switch is correct,,
so what should i do now, make a hole in it and use it like a Key Chain

Gave me the same bad disk error, I tried every partition manager but nothing worked!
I found my solution by changing my sdcard adapter (or usb card reader) and it works perfectly fine now

thanks, though this is an old post but you helped me with my sd card also.
faced the same problem....
simple solution:format with blackberry
Command Prompt
I don't know if the problem was solved. I have suggestions. They are worth trying but not guaranteed to work.
The 'Disk Management' thing doesn't work. I use Windows 10. It gets stuck (becomes entirely Unresponsive) until I pull out the card from the reader. And the same also happens when I double-click or right-click on the SD card in Windows Explorer.
Maybe this can work-
Check the Lock switch on Card. It should not be locked.
On the computer, disable any antivirus feature of auto-scanning USB disks when connected. Also disable Windows USB AutoPlay.
Connect Card to computer with a good card reader.
With Windows Explorer, find the drive letter of the connected SD Card.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and write
format <drive letter followed by colon : and no slash>
Example - Attached to this post.
If error appears "Insert New Disk and press ENTER", just press 'ENTER' directly.
If error appears "Cannot open volume for direct access", write the format statement in 5th step again.
These errors appear 3-4 times, but keep following the above steps till these statements appear -
"The type of the file system is FAT32. Verifying <your card size>"
Good luck !!
Otherwise, try this http://www.cardrecoverypro.com/
i was using mintool to partition my 32gb microsd for use with link2sd on xperia mini pro
it formated cleaning sectors
but now its not picking up on phone or pc
can adb via android fix it
tried to format on other android and old windows 6.5 phone but no success:crying:
any ideas to fix greatly appreciated
It is not clear question. Although it is quite long time ago, but i know minitool can partition sd card perfectly. i dont know why you format it, if you want to convert files system, you can use minitool partition wizard to convert files system directly and without data losing.
My Pico stopped recognizing the microSD card. Can't view it nor formatting, nothing. Under Windows, Linux, Android recovery... I was using 2.3.5 with Link2sd and now my 8GB card showing up 30 megs and it seems to be locked for some reason (like locked SD card by the lock. but microSD doesn't have any locks) Please help me, what can I do? Could you reccomend someone who can help me with it?
I know that I removed card without releasing it properly from phone... I had some important files there :/
Have u try using windows disk management to see the drive is present or not?
If a partition was corrupted or missing, most of the time it won't be shown on my computer

I tried everything on a pc. Windows shows unformated 30megs sd card, Minitool Partition wizard shows it: http://i.imgur.com/wRLzSmU.jpg
Linux and GParted pretty much the same. I can't format it under pc to get the previous 8GB size...

Try formatting from the disk management section!
Hi,
The 32GB Samsung EVO in my AMOI N828 became suddenly RAW format (instead of fat32).
I have tried to get the most data out of it with EaseUS data recovery wizard ( and with a bunch of other programs too) but the SD card lost most of its data.
But even when i want to format it again, it says RAW format, so i tried to repartition it with MINITOOL Partition wizard but without any luck.
I cannot create a new partition like fat32, primary with default clustersize. When i click APPLY the program tries to create a partition but after a minute the programs seems to have created it but in fact the SD stays "unallocated". Therefore i cannot format it either.
I have tried in win7 via CMD, diskpart, list disk, select disk, clean (gave error) , create partition primary(gave error)....but nothing happens and there is always an error-log.
Also tried in diskmanagement to format but without succes ( because it is still in RAW format ofcourse)
So, i have tried almost anything but nothing works.
Has anyone another fix perhaps ? Or is my SD a total loss ?
Hi guys,
I want to partition my 64GB (I know, 59GB actually) microsd card into 2 x 32GB FAT32 partitions. I've tried to do it in windows, using MiniTool Partiton Wizard like I did with other microsd cards until now, but without success: the tool creates two partitions but the 2nd one is not usable (it does not have assigned a letter); any attempts to correct this were futile.
Can this issue be fixed somehow? If yes, how?

Start over, get it back to one unallocated partition, then use the Aparted app from play store.
Or you can try this

Thanks for your reply @Droidriven!
I've managed to create those partitions: sdcard1 and sdext2, both FAT32 and having 29.5GB each. First partition (sdcard1) is working flawless: access speed, read, write. The 2nd one...
The 2nd one (sdext2) has an issue - I cannot create files (.txt), in root or in other subfolders. However, I can access it, move data to it from the other partition or from the internal sdcard and I can create folders and subfolders. In android's settings->storage menu, my external sdcard is shown as it has only 29.5GB (out of 59GB) but nothing about partitions.
Is this a permission issue (platform.xml)? Can it be fixed?

I don't know what your issue is, maybe because one partition is the primary partition. Did you choose all the same options when you set the second partition?
What android version are you using? Lollipop and Marshmallow do have permission configurations that are a pain, especially concerning extsd permissions.
I'll see what I can find, can't promise I'll find you an answer though.
The partitions' settings are identical, with the sole exception that one has to be the primary one. The microsd is new and tested with a few software programs to be sure it's not a fake (it's not).
I'm using AOSP 5.1.1 and yes, I believe there is a L permission issue.
Don't worry a bit regarding this issue. If you or someone else will find the solution, it'll be great, if not, life goes on.
Thanks anyway for taking your time!
