Hi,
I accidentally wrote the SDCard CM7 installer image file (version 1.3) for Nook on a 512M microSd card using WinImage. It only shows about 200M under windows now. How can I restore the microSD card back to the original size using Windows?
Thanks
Anyone knows the answer?
Reformatting SD card under Windows
The HPUSBFW.exe format utility will reformat your SD card to its original size. I found the utility via Google.
I am running into the same issue while trying to create a bootable CM7 card for my Nook Color. If I use WinImage (Restore virtual drive image) or Win32DiskImager to write the generic SD card image to my SD card, the resulting size is a bit less than 130MB. I can copy the CM7 and Google Apps ZIP files to the card with little space left over. My NC will boot from the card and attempt to install CM7 and the Google apps, but installation will eventually fail because no space is left on the device. Subsequently my NC will no longer boot from the SD card and boots into the Nook Reader instead.
If I use WinImage and manually choose the SD card image and destination drive, I can write the image to the SD card without changing the partition size. However, my NC cannot boot from the resulting image.
I'm at a loss.
SD CARD
Thank You, I was able to recover my SD Card.

I'm upgrading to a larger capacity SD card and want to transfer the 2nd partition to the new SD card. How do I do this? Can I increase the size of the 2nd partition on the new SD and still transfer the data from the partition from the old SD?
You can use a Linux based partition editor called GParted, just download the iso for the live CD, burn the iso to CD and boot your computer from that.
There's a video tutorial for partitioning micro sd cards for android here, but instead of partitioning you will be copying the partition from your old sd to your new one.
It's a relatively simple program to use. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask
I have formatted my micro sd card (samsung class 10 64GB) in Gparted with 1 FAT32 partition of 8GB, and the rest is EXT4.
Furthermore I have the following files on my FAT32 partition:
data2sd-jb42-that0_modByHundsbuah.zip
hundsbuah_v3.2.0-OC_JB4.2.1.zip
CROMi-Xenogenesis ODEX 4.7.0_Signed.zip
mount-data2sd.zip
First off, my TWRP 2.5.0.0 gets stuck on the splash screen with the sd card inserted, so I have to take it in and out again. Then, I flash the mount-data2sd.zip, and then I want to do a wipe. However, after this is done, the files on the FAT32 partition are no longer visible in TWRP and I'm unable to install anything more. What am I doing wrong in the process of installing Cromi on my SD card?

It looks like the TWRP can not read your External SD card. You probably need to format your External SD again. There are a few things you need to pay attention.
1. Your first partition is a fat32 and set it as a primary partition.
2. Your second partition is ext4 and set it as a primary partition also.
After a reformat, you can try to use TWRP again and hope that it can read your SD. Good luck.
I've done it twice, but I guess third time's the charm. Going to try with different software and see what happens
The same thing happened when I Tried it again.
Booting into TWRP with SD card inserted will cause the splash to be shown until the card is taken out
So I take the card out, and I'm ready to flash files from the fat32 part of my card. I flash the mount-data2sd file, then press back. Now, at this point the Cromi file itself didn't appear on the card so I press home. Trying to access the memory card again, no files show up this time...
I fail to see why, but what am I doing wrong?

Do you have another SD to try out? It could be something wrong with the one that you are using. It looks like you still can access to your external SD once when you first insert it in. These are the options you can try them out. First, when you first insert your SD, you need to copy all the files that you have from the external SD to your internal SD. From there, you can install from your internal SD. Second, when you first insert you SD, you need to install the cromi x first. When you have it up and running, you can connect your device to your computer and transfer all the file that you need to install data2SD. Good luck.. :fingers-crossed:
I have been using a 4gb memory card out of which 3.6 was usable. One day, I connected it to my chromebook and transferred a few files and directly pulled the wire off forgetting about ejecting the device and turning the usb mass storage off. Then I opened the file manager it was showing total storage:447MB and availabel storage:447MB. pls help me with this problem.
Here you go
First point first - Backup your data
I assume that you have access to a Windows or a Linux desktop...
For Windows you will need Minitool Partition Wizard Free Version...
For Linux - GParted will do the job...
----------------------------------------------------------
For your specific problem, it appears to me that the primary partition of your SD card is accidentally shrunk...
So, Plug in your SD card
Open up Minitool Partition Wizard or GParted, find your SD card.....
... and if I am right, you can see 2 or more partition in your SD card
[Make sure you have backed up your data before proceeding]
1. Delete all of the partitions present in your SD card one by one (right click on the partition to find 'delete')
2. You will now end up with an unallocated space of size of your SD card.
3. Right click on that unallocated partition and Create
4. Make sure your new partition is Primary, NOT LOGICAL, and FileSystem = FAT32
5. Apply your changes, and your SD card will be showing it's full capacity.
Thank you I will try it out and let you know if it works
One reason may be that your sd card has some bad sectors due to which some part of the sd card may not be accessible or maybe there is some kind of virus in your sd card. Actually it happened with me also but in my case it was my pen drive and the reason was some of the sectors were not working properly and at last pen drive did'nt work at all....
If that is the reason wouldn't formatting the sd card work out.

Hello. I was preparing for a full wipe of my phone (Galaxy S3 i9300) for a clean flash for my next ROM. So I did was I got a SD Card Reader and plugged my SD Card in and put it in a laptop to copy the files, while suddenly, my SD Card got corrupted. I tried to format the SD Card with the same SD Card Reader (not knowing the Card Reader was faulty) but it made things worse. So, I took a different Card Reader, and formatted the SD Card and now all seems well. Until, when I put the .ZIP file in the SD Card, put the SD Card on my phone, and install .ZIP from SD Card on my phone using TWRP (2.8.6.1), it displays the error "E: Zip file is corrupt!" So naturally, I restarted the phone into recovery, formatted the SD Card using TWRP, changed the file system to FAT (vfat) and it displays the error "E: Unknown MTP message type: 1", then I tried repairing the file system, and it was successful. So I did was put the .ZIP in the SD Card again and try it again, with no luck.
I have already used all of these to format the SD Card and the phone still thinks the .ZIP file from the SD Card is corrupted:
Diskpart
Chkdsk
EaseUs Master Partition
Windows Format
SD Formatter (v4.0)
---------------------------------------
TL;DR
Phone got fully wiped, SD Card got corrupted while transfering files because of faulty Card Reader, SD Card got formatted a lot of times, Finally got the SD Card running, but now, if I put it inside the phone, it thinks the .ZIP File from the SD Card is corrupted.
What should I do?
p.s. (I already downloaded the same .ZIP file multiple times to make sure it was healthy, and it is)

Yes, the .zip file does work. I can open it on my pc
Sadly, I can't get a new SD Card. Mainly because I need this SD Card because it is a 32GB SDHC Class 10 SanDisk SD Card, and it's not cheap to get a new replacement (of the same SD Card).
I would like to know how to fix this corrupted SD Card. Because everytime I plug it into my PC (and use Windows Check Drive for Errors, and Chkdsk) and find there's no errors. And then when I finished placing the files into the SD Card, when I plug it the next time, everything got corrupted, but Windows still does not detect any errors on the drive..... wut

Copy paste via USB cable? The ZIP might be corrupted in a way that the script is broken or somehing. Try copypasting the file via USB and if that doesn't work download a different ZIP.

Thanks for all the help. I was in contact with SanDisk and they are willing to replace the corrupted microSD Card. Anyways, thank you
Does any one know how to create an sd card that allows me to boot from it on my tablet. the goal is to boot from the sd card with files and file manager on the same sd card. when done with my edits and file management I want to take out the sd card which leaves the original tablet OS as it was before.
