Hi all,
I've just found a way to convert file system of my SD card from FAT32 to NTFS (which allows me to copy extreme large files to the SD card). But I don't know if it harms the SD card.
What if I do the same thing to the internal SD card in my phone ?
I'm glad that I can now copy an 8 GB file to my SD card .
Thanks in advance !

Not sure your phone can read a NTFS SD Card... Being that Android is based on Linux, there might be issues reading the file system or possible corruption.
I wouldn't do it. What are you copying on to your SD Card that's 8GB?
I do believe u can read from the card, but I dont think android supports write to ntfs
what file is that? a whole 8gb? movie??

So im considering upgrading my SD card and going to a 16gig one from an 8gig one. I have Move2SD Enabler and most of my downloaded apps over on the SD card. What would happen if i copied everything from my current SD card and just dropped it onto a brand new 16gig one and inserted that into my phone? Would i not notice anything or would it break all those apps?
any help? Im sure there is a quick answer to this.

Hi,
I have upgraded my SD card by these steps:
- Make the titanium back up and copy all contents of your SDcard to the pc.
- Then change the SDcard for the new one & format it in your phone.
- After formatting, copy the saved contents from the pc back to your new SDcard.

ext2/3 Partition u can access by a linux live-cd like knoppix.
or try totalcommander with the ext2 extension from a win-box.
To back up sd card all I must do is just right click on the removable disk and press cop and paste on desktop and that should make a complete copy of my sd card correct?
Also is parition a must? because i recently downloaded MIUI rom and i was running low on space so i thought partioning my sd card would do the trick. Is this the best thing to do?
Thanks and sorry i just recently rooted my phone and im a noob to it

This doesn't really help me
It actually does. You said that you were running low on space. Partitioning divides up space. You're cutting up what you don't have.
First copy SD content to PC, then format it FAT32 or use Panasonic SD formatter. Then u must create 1024kb ext partition on SD. This can be performed by many tools - CWM recovery or DISKPART etc.
Then copy SD content back to card and insert it to phone.
surely you mean mb or 1GB?

Hi,
Format the card to FAT32.
Just put your own files/folders on the card.
Android will put on the files/folders it needs.

I have a KINGMAX 16gb class 6 FAT32 micro sd card.
i tried to copy Backtrack5 (5gb) from PC to my sd card but despite the fact that i have 10gb space free, it tells me that i have insufficient space and it won't write.
any solutions? and why it does this?

Indeed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table for more information, you will need to reformat your sdcard to another file system format that supports larger files (but note if your using windows your options are limited!)
then what format do i use?
obviously not FAT16, an i heard that NTFS is read-only for android system

Well thats the thing if your using windows there isnt really a file format you can use thats natively supported with windows, but I believe you could use ext3 and use thrid party software to access it in windows
