You won't loose the operating system. The Android system is not in the internal SD card, it has it's own place outside of the internal SD card.
Just be sure you keep a backup of the DCIM folder and whatever else you want to keep.

On the ext partition? One option is to use nandroid--it will make a tar file (I think it's called "SD Data" in the nandroid menu, but I'm not sure). Or if you use linux, you can mount and backup the ext partition directly.
Thanks....

It is possible, you just can't move system apps!!! Unless the apps on the internal SD don't show up??
You can move apps to internal SD but you can't move it to external SD

If memory serves, dont you have to use a hidden linux ext4 partion for apps2sd to put the apps in?

I am wanting to format the SD card but do not know if I need to save some file and restore after formatting. I know i will loose my pics but what else do i need to save for my phone to work properly after formatting if anything
You don't need to replace any files for it to work. The phone will create the files/folders on its own. Anything you want to save such as pics, music, backups, etc. can be copied to computer and then back to SD card after formatting.

Why does my sd card have android system in it. Is it better for the phone ,. And is there.a way to just have it for pics,movies and other things I want in it,

You mean the android folder inside the root of your sd card??? Nope, those aren't system files, they're certain apps moved/installed to the sd card to save internal memory... android system is located at the /system partition of your phone's internal memory (NAND)

Oh ok, I thought it took up space.

Hello,
is possible on ICS to change mount order so no SD card is mounted until Internal Storage is ? Or that applications are not loaded until Internal Storage is mounted ?
It can done with cwm…
Just unmount the sd card…
And again when you like to use it… mount it…

well..the thing is that i have device with internal memory, internal storage and also SD card. Problem is that the SD card is mount before internal storage and all apps ive installed before restart do disappear and there are just icons on which when i click nothing happens. Thats the reason i would like to change the order but no idea where..
