Hello everyone,
I have a SONY M4 aqua E2303 - Android 5.0 build 26.1.A.3.111
I have a 64GB Sandisk Unltra - class 10 micro SD card
I am trying to partition the SD card to extend the internal memory through Link2SD :
I tried to partition with computer and mobile apps ( Minitool partition and through apps AParted and Apps2SD )
more than one time I did partitioning
50GB fat32/ 10GB ext2
50GB fat32/ 10GB ext3
45GB fat32/ 15GB ext2
45GB fat32/ 15GB ext3
52GB fat32/ 8GB ext2
52GB fat32/ 8GB ext3
always the big part is the first partition
The partitioning succeed but each time I insert the SD in mobile, gives me Damaged SD card error and now all tries failed.
Pleeeeaaaase ... any suggestions...
Thanks a lot
Did you try deleting all partitions and starting from the beginning?

i have a 2 gb sd card which i plan to use as storage in my flashed tilt.
i formated it as fat32, but guess there is some problem doing that as my tilt has started giving me a critical alarm that there is very little space on the storage device - i have hardly used 50MB in the 2GB sd card being used as the storage !!
can someone advise me the file system (fat16 / fat32) to be used & its allocation unit size for use of the 2GB SD card in the tilt.
thank you

I use FAT32. card standard allocation unit size.
Use 128mb,256mb,512mb mSD to flash with.
Carlis
FAT32
I use FAT32...see the 8GB link in my signature for a link to a thread that has a great app that specifically formats the SD card in a proper way.
FAT32 is much more efficient.
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 bought a new strontium 16 gb class card. the card was readable by the phone when and showed 14.92 gb free space. But the cwm recovery is not able to mount the sd card. I formatted the sd card in fat32 format using pc but of no help. I want to make an ext partition so that i can use it as secondary internal memory for my HTS desire. any suggestions..??
Hi all.... I haven't found specific answers to my questions so am posing them here.
I am running CM11
Can you expand your internal storage without doing an entire ext sd card to internal swap? I want to use only part of my ext SD card to enhance the internal storage.
Is there any point in formatting multiple partitions on the ext SD card as fat32 / ext4 / Linux swap anymore? I thought doing this would have part of the partition used for internal storage and part as the ext sd card storage. Formatting the SD card through CWM deletes all partitions and formats it all as FAT32 for external storage only.
Thanks and go Blaze haha

You can partition your SD card on your pc into pieces that android won't recognize..follow this as a guide..the program is fantastic

Thanks ink. I will look at this more tonight but I did use Partition Wizard Home and formatted the first partition as FAT32 which is recognized as the external SD card1 in CM11 but the 2nd EXT4 partition isn't recognized by the ROM it seems. Maybe I just don't know how it would be used but checking the storage in settings didn't have any change to internal.
