I've can't find the answer anywhere, so I'm starting a new thread.
I have a problem partitioning my 32 GB class 10 micro sd card. I need to partition it to use link2sd, so I need other partition to be ext 2/3/4. So if I try partitioning it with minitool, the first partition (fat32) works fine, but the second one (ext) after partitioning shows type as "other" and that the partition is full (no free space). If I partition it with cwm recovery, minitool shows what should be ext partition as unallocated space.
AOMEI partition assistant can't finish partitioning to ext (fat32 can with no problem), and gives this message:
Sorry, the current operation has been canceled!
Information Code: 305
Description: Unknown Error.
I haven't been able to find not only solution, but even similar problem is nowhere to be found, so I hope someone can help.

Hi,
I have a 16GB Micro SD card that I want to create a 1GB exts partition on.
I have the free versions of Paragon and Acronis, but it would seem I need the full version to create a partition on an SD card?
I therefore got minitools partition manager and I was able to create a partition, but it is unallocated and it's status is NONE.
The FAT32 partition is Primary and the unallocated one is logical.
If I click on this partition almost everything is grayed out so I cannot format to ext2.
Please help.
I am running this on a cheap card reader from ebay on Windows XP.

Ext2 obviously
If it helps the card has a 4 on it, so does that mean it's class 4?
I think I'm a bit dumb !!!
I'd resized the partition only, so it was simply unallocated.
Are there any free partition software downloads that allow me to create a partition please?
It is MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition from partitionwizard.com

I did, I think I used ROM Manager in the end.
It didn't work to begin with, I played with the Partition software above, then I went back to ROM Manager and it worked.

I got class 4 4gb memory card and has used minitool partition wizard to create 3.5gb fat32 partition and 500mb ext2 partition. but when i connected to my SE x10mini and it says 'damaged memory card'. but then i format the memory card via my phone and the ext2 partition has been erase. may i know any suggestion to create 2 partition and make the phone able to recognise the memory card??
one more question, may i know what is the next step to make ext2 partition to be apart of system's space??
I`ve managed to make two partitions using Gparted (win).
I have an HTC Hero rooted with stock 2.1 firmware
I installed Link2SD and read through the development post on this forum but encountered and issue I cannot figure out how to resolve.
I reformatted my SD card with 2 primary partitions using MiniTool. I re-sized my standard partition to allow for an additional 400MB partition then formatted the unallocated memory to ext3 format.
So now I have 2 partitions that look like this in MiniTool (4GB SD card):
Partition FileSystem Size Status Type
-SDCard FAT32 3.30GB Active Primary
-AppsPartition ext3 400.06MB None Primary
(sorry cant get more spaces between words, dont use forums often)
I thought that was all I needed to do but when I put the SD Card into my Hero it just tells me I have a damaged SD Card. What do I do to fix this?
I just wanted to say I figured this out on my own. I don't know what the problem was but I reformatted the SD card from the Hero and it only formatted the SDCard partition and then I had to reformat the AppsPartition to FAT32 file system in order to be usable by link2sd and it worked.
No idea what caused the problem to begin with but got it resolved, that's all that matters right?
I had problems too until I formatted partition 1 as FAT (aka FAT16 - NOT FAT32), and the second as FAT32 or Ext2/3.
The key for me was the first partition being FAT.
I use a HTC Explorer running cyanogenmod 10.
Previously i was running stock ROM and using Link2SD onto my SD card. I then factory reset the phone and flashed it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847002. The partition i had made for Link2SD has now completely vanished. It was about 500Mb, now the SD card total storage shows a reduction in total memory of he same 500Mb.
Further, im not able to partition the remaining memory in the card to use Link2SD with either! HELP! What can i do?

Hi @all.
I wanna use Link2SD to increase the device storage.
I tried thousands of tutorials to partition the SD-card with all possibilities (as recommended 1st primary FAT32 and 2nd primary ext2/3/4)
Finally Link2SD works with the 2nd partition and is able to link the apps to this partition, BUT my phone does not find the first partition FAT32 anymore and is not able to mount it. Even in link2sd it only shows partition 2 available, and the first one not.
I have a 32GB card and tried FAT32 - 20GB & EXT2/3/4 - 10GB but also FAT32 - 28GB & EXT2/3/4 - 1GB - nothing worked.
only when there is just one partition with FAT32 and whole 32 GB at all than the phone mounts the sd-card
I tried also with a smaller 8 GB card, still the same.
It is nice that link2sd works now after rooting and also using the rootfix and Init.d Toggler (to not have the bootloop anymore), but the only problem is that I cannot use the bigger part of the sd-card for normal files.
Anyone got solving ideas for this problem? big thanks in advance
Solution
Some SD cards after creating two partitions, the first partition cannot be mounted.
The second partition, used in Link2SD, works fine.
So you'll need to format the first partition -and ONLY the first- to NTFS filesystem.
Also you will need "Paragon UFSD Root Mounter":

After you install the app, run it. it should mount the new NTFS partition and it will be totally usable in the system.

Thanks to user DJPRMF for this method
Hello,
I have a problem when I try to create my partitions (in my samsung sd card 16 Gb).
The first, Primary, in fat32 format, about 13GB, goes well.
When I want to create the second (ext2, approximately 2GB, Primary), he said that "This operation can not be performed. Windows only identifies the first primary partition. If there is no primary partition, it can identify the First logical partition, do you want to continue? "
I still continue to create the 2nd partition (ext2, about 2GB) but when I want to apply it does not want to validate the third operation which is the creation of the second partition.
N.B: I tried with Mini Tools partition and Easeus
What to do? I do not understand the problem ...
Thank you!
