Hi,
I have tried to partition my 8gb sd card using minitool partition free home edition on my pc. Using a card reader I backed up the contents of the micro sd card on my computer. My samsung galaxy ace is rooted.
I have had no problem creating FAT32 partition (left about 1gb for ext2 partition). However, when I go to create ext2, I am getting this message: "The new created partition cannot be used in windows.Because Windows could only recognize the first partition on a removable disk". Please tell me what's gone wrong.
Thank you,
Regards,
Hector
Nothing has gone wrong and you really should search and read before asking questions.
The message tells you EXACTLY what it needs to, Windows can only recognise the first partition on a removable card - so what's the problem?

Hello all. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to delete a partition off of my SD card. I used Paragon Partition Manager 9 to setup a 150mb partition (which turned out to be too small) and now Im switching to a larger SD card and giving mine to someone. I loaded the card in Paragon but it doesnt give an option to delete, just resize the partition. Does someone know a way to remove it so the card will have 4gb available again? I searched but couldnt find an answer.
Try using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Its what I've been using and so far it works well.
Oh I see, I googled that and it appears to be similar to the regular windows formatting. So this will delete the partition I set and restore my SD card to full space available?
yeah, if you just reformat the card as a whole it will do it, or get an ubuntu disk and use the partition manager to create a new data table and then reformat
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).
Sir , i created a partition of ext 2 500mb using minitool app. I don't remember if it was primary or logical. After partition my memory card is not shown.
i searched and found a similar thread(given below). Tried those things. But it didn't work.
in the thread (below) memory card was shown when attached through memory card reader. But in my case it didn't. i got the message (insert a drive)

Have you hit Apply? i used minitool partition wizard to create a new partition in my sdcard, everything is fine!
Hello, I when I tried to partition my sd card using MiniTool Partition Wisard to create two partition (20GB with filesystem ext2 and 10 GB with FAT32) it shows me that the partition process was successful. However, I could not see the SD card on my computer (it should show the partition with filesystem FAT32). Okay, therefore, I decided to remove the card from the computer. And when I inserted it back to the PC, it still can't show the card. Therefore, I decided to open the MiniTool Partition Wisard to see what happened. And it says that my SD card has Bad Disk filesystem. Also, when I insert the card into the phone, its says that my SD card is blank. What when wrong? Isn't the partition successful? What can I do?

Hello,
I have a problem with Link2SD which I hope someone knows an answer for. My setup looks like this:
Hardware
Galaxy A3 (2017) - SM-A320FL
SanDisk Ultra MicroSD (64 GB)
Software:
Android 8.0.0 (A320FLXXS3CRK1)
Newest TWRP for my phone
Newest Magisk
Universal Init.d Injector v2.2 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/mod-universal-init-d-injector-wip-t3692105)
How I setup the partitions of the microSD
First Partition as FAT32 (Primary) with a drive letter assigned. Second Partition ext4 (also Primary) without a drive letter. MiniTool Partition Wizard was used for this process.
Also tried a few variations of the above like making the second partition ext2 or setting the first partition to active but in the end it all made no difference
Now the strange part ....
The partitions are properly detected when I connect the microSD to the PC using a card reader.
The first partition is also detected as external memory by android and I can use it like every other SD with one partition
Link2SD is also able to detect the second partition, mount it at start and link apps to it
The problem is that my PC wont detect the sd card when I connect the phone to it. When I reformat the SD back to one partition the SD card is detected without a problem (explorer showing the internal memory aswell the external memory)
[*]Sometimes the card is also shown as not detected in the default samsung file explorer even tho the apps moved to the sdCard are stil working
Does anyone have a clue what is happening here or what I am doing wrong?
Dear user
I am having the same troubles with my a320fl when attempting to use 64gb sd card partitioned with fat32 and ext2/ex4.
Once I enter the card in the phone and restart it doesn't register on the phone.
I hope someone else can help us!
I have the same problem, also with a 64GB Samsung Evo, could this be an A3 issue?
