Storage Manager
Based on original Windows CE Storage Manager.
Install CAB file and go to Settings->System->Storage Manager
This program allow you to manage your stores and partitions.
You can format and dismount store.
You can create new/delete/mount/dismount partitions in store.
If your partition have FAT file system, you can also format, run scandisk and defragmentator.
On format tool you can select cluster size.
Scandisk can find errors in your SD, CF card.
I didn't test it, because all my attempts to create a lost clusters on SD 32mb failed
If someone know how/can test it, please do it.
Defragementator is very slow, but it works, at least on my 32 mb SD card.
I try to defragment 1 Gb SD and wait during a hour, but it didn't finish it.
I don't recommend to do experiments with your system stores and partitions.
You can create several partitions on your SD, CF card and it works!
I create a four partitions on my SD 32mb card and it works!
I have SD Card, SD Card2, SD Card3 and SD Card4 now.
You should careful use this tool.
Hi,
Seems a very useful tool. Thanks for developing it. I'm installing now.
WB
thanx seems to be very useful
Would be interested to know if we could take a 4gb card which does not work on PPC 6700 and make 2 2gb partitions, would this work anyone???
interesting, gonna check this out.

I don't know, because I haven't 4 GB card.
Somebody should try it.
YO DUDE!!!!
This app ROCKS!!!!
Been having so much trouble with my 4gb SD (infact two 4gb SD cards, both would go corrupt if I loaded more than 2gb on them), but I tried your app, and now I have two 2gb partitions (well 1.95gb actually, but it'll do me nicely!!).
Finally, I can now watch the rest of heroes at work!!!
LOL
Thanks again

do you test it well?
try to fill both partitions by files and check it.
You should be sure that it works, otherwise you can have problems in future.
Yeah, have been testing the integrity of the partitions and the first one is fine, but the second one is still being silly, and Im still getting corrupt files on the 2nd one.
Not really sure what to do now!!!
(
Might try and create 3 partions, one 2gb, and two 1gb ones. Lets see what happens then!!
RR
Ok, just tried the 3 partition idea and.......it didn't work!!!
Was unable to create a third, so instead I have one 2gb and one 1.5 gb, as the cards total capacity is supposed to be 3.98 gb, but I thought I'd reduce it a little (Im sure I won't miss 400mb).
So just testing the second partition now, will report back with results.....
RR
oh...
I think, driver can't translate large offsets.
my pocket (Dell x51v) already have SDHC driver, isn't it?
I can try to extract it using my ROM Extractor, correct relocations and send to you for testing.
Possible it will work, so wait.
Great utility. Just what I need.
But I'm trying to run it on my 2GB card and it stops about half-way through. Any idea? Before it stopped it recovered about a dozen files (xxxxxx.chk). I've tried re-running it but it always halts at the same point
I am having some trouble with my 4gb card in my XV6800. I have had it since January and been happily adding things to it and deleting them at will. Now I am having a problem with it however. I can add things to it through My Computer etc on windows and it shows up fine. But after a few hours when I go back into it on File Explorer on the phone any changes I have made are not in effect.
This includes both things that I added that are not there, and things that I have deleted that re-appear. Any ideas? It is not helping my wanting to install cabs and set up my UC config as you can imagine.
I know that they are transferring at some point because I m,anaged to install a cab from there last night, this morning, the original cab and folder is gone.
I'd suggest backing up everything currently on the card first, then formatting it using a card reader. Once the format completes, restore your files and see if your problems still exist.
P.S. Any microsd card <= 2gb will work for flashing. Anything > 2gb won't.

I agree with this... backup your storage card, and format it using software on your device such as CNETX FlashFormat... that seemed to do the trick when I was having issues related to the Storage Card
I was getting the error" file protected". I did lots of research, tried to format it in both my phone and laptop to no avail. I used diffrent software,nothing gave. Some people claim that putting clear tape on the SD adapter lock did the trick for them. Anyway, I contacted SD as my last resort,got an RMA and now I am awaiting a replacement. I did a back up and transferred all to 1 GB that I had as a back up.
FYI
I used SD Formatter V2.O and Hard disk Wipe tool (hddguru.com) , Format claimed to be successful but data was always there. This started after I installed TOMTOM maps on the card. Good luck man
there is a cab to enable sd cards over 2GB for the titan
i suggest some searching, if i come across it ill post the link
I have Tom Tom on my card, but then I have done from the start and I have only had the problems pretty recently. My computer wont read the card in the built in card reader in my computer, but it reads the new 1gb one fine.
Also, the phone does recognize it because I can play music off it, I just cannot add files to it or delete from it.
I have tried to format it with CNETX FlashFormat and it doesn't seem to work, everything is still on there as before.
Very annoying, I am going to contact SanDisk
Good idea man, it sounds like you have the same prob I do. Try putting tape on the protection switch on the adapter. It didn't work for me but who knows!
I have just got a 16gb sd card which is recognised by my HD2 but copying my files straight to the card from both the pc and via pc cable meant that I have several issues with programs installed, such as jwmd icon changer, my icons all return back to the old ones...
I have formatted the sd card several times...
as soon as I replace the sd card and soft reset it works fine... just not with the 16gb card.
any suggestions?
Thanks
I have searched and tried the suggestions on a couple of the threads...

When you copy the files from the 8gb card, select on your pc to show all files (enable hidden files) from the maps that are in the 8gb card.
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I had already done that....
I'm wondering if the card is faulty...
I am currently in the middle of a full format rather than a quick format...

Maybe you can test your card with H2testw to see if it's faulty.
I'll try that, thanks
The full format didnt make any difference........
to test the 16gb sandisk I got from a foreign seller on ebay, I used dd under linux, wrote several 4GB size files filled with zeroes, until it was full, and then copied them back to the HD.
Write and read operations went fine, so I suppose the card works alright, and is really a 16GB card (14.83GB really on it due to difference between GB and GiB), and I tested it for max 7.5MB/s write speed, and 7MB/s read speed.
So you could do the same write/read tests to see if all the data put on the card is really there, or if it's a fake/damaged 16GB card
Make Sure to also uncheck 'Hide Protected operationg system files' before copying
Er, I may be missing something here, but, all previously installed app associations will be unusable when you change mem card and you will need to reinstall everything.
My advice would be to install everything you can to phone mem and it will run more quickly and be more stable into the bargain, use less battery and run cooler!

I thought this maybe the case, but having read other threads, other people seem to have been able to do it... also, with previous other phones I have done it...
Hi. have you tested a clone software like DriveSnaphot. Thats the best method.

well... no problem here, I've switched from 8 to 16gb sd on my previous ipaq, simply mirrored the file structure, and all the .lnk files in the menu worked alright.... I do not really see the reason why those shortcuts shouldn't work anymore.

how did you do it? I tried the snap shot idea... no luck.....
I just had a look at the copied folders on the 16gb sd card via my pc, at the top level they seem ok, but once I look into each folder they all have crazy symbols instead of folder names.... this is obviously the problem... but what is causing it?
They are all normal on the original 8gb
Juat to add that they are ok on the 16gb card also until i put them into the hd2....

test the files.
It may be possible that the card is a fake 16gb or defective.
Copy 15gb to it from PC (prferably movies), then copy them back to hard disk on another folder. See if you can still watch all 15gb of movies. If you get errors, card is defective/fake.
There's no reason why a snapshot shouldn't work otherwise.

It's not a matter that they shouldn't work. It's that they often don't.
Some will have no problem and some will. Especially when attempting usage after a flash of ROM or any alteration of registry (dirrectly or indirrectly).
The OS knows the location of associated files and when a straight copy of files is made from one card to another there can be no certainty that the integrity of the file system will be maintained.
You wouldn't rely on your PC to acknowledge a new second Hard drive in exactly the same way as an older one was just by copying the files. There's fat and boot sector implications.
I'm currently testing the sd card with a program called h2testw which writes data to the card to test the capacity etc to see if its been hacked to show a fake capacity... its going to take 90 mins...so fingers crossed its not fake....

ehm, I'm sorry, but that doesn't make much sense
We are talking about file paths here, and nothing more; as long as the memory card is still named "Storage Card" in the device, you just need to copy the file structure over, everything will work. Or maybe everything except those registered programs that check the idenitification number of the memory card to see if they are installed on the correct media.
And in fact, if you mirror your hard drive to another, bigger one, you will have a copy of your previous system...
If you experienced something different, please make an example. Did you mirror the file structure from an old microsd to a new microsd and the system didn't work?
The other user here was having a problem with the file structure being corrupted, that makes sense, but just that...
This was the result.... can anyone tell me what this actually means?...

Sue your vendor, he probably sold you a very small microsd card which has been hacked to look like it's a 16gb one.
Either that, or the card is severely defective; anyway, sue your vendor
I got it on ebay for £10... but got the £10 refunded by paypal as it hadnt arrived... then a few weeks later it arrived... so its no loss... just annoying!
i flashed WP7 today, everything went smoothly, and it seems nice and fast but it keeps popping up a message sayng that i don't have enough storage space and that i should delete some music/photos. obviously there's not much to delete so i assume that I'm either doing something wrong or the current build that's available out there can't access all the storage it should have been able to..
any ideas?
Connect your phone and start zune. In setting of zune, click phone, and in a sub setting there will be one called reserved space. Go on it, and you'll see a bar where you can increase or decrease space on your phone for apps and stuff.
great. will try this. thanks!
I have the same issue - Zune tells me that 83MB of memory is available, and 0MB is free. I have a 2GB card in the phone, so I suspect it's not picking it up. I hadn't formatted the card or anything, so perhaps I missed a step towards making it work..?
I figured it out - the first time I'd booted into WP7, I took the SD card out since it seemed to cause MAGLDR to attempt to boot into an old Android port. It seems WP7 will only use an SD card if it was present on the first boot. Reinstalling WP7 and keeping the SD card in for the first boot seemed to do the trick!
I don't know if there is an easier way to tell WP7 to detect an SD card, but this worked for me. Of course, it does involve resetting everything all over again, but at least the activation code works the second time too!

Have you format your microSd before flashing?
point to setting->About
Reset Your phone and waiting phone restart.
Connect to Zune and check your storage spaces.
I did it and have more than 1GB free spaces with 2GB microsd card.
Hope this help!
I tried it still not workiing I took out the SD cards and formatted it still its not working.
Removed
reset
Had the same problem... , solved!
Went to settings - about - reset phone.
Ok, you need setup everything again, but I now have far more than 3gb on a 4gb sd-card.
Hope this will help you!

I had the problem of the phone running out of storage space. (without using an sd card)
It is a very simple and quick fix.
All you need to do is:
1. Sync with Zune
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Reserved Space
4. By default its set to 0% - increase it to at least 50%.
(This reserved space is for your emails, pictures, music, texts etc i believe)
5. Restart your phone.
You can check the amount of space on your phone by going to
On your phone click on
1. Settings
2. About
I hope this helps.
You will then have available storage.

I tried it like 2 times still it didnt work
in setting/about: it says..520 mb available (on 1gb card)...but zune doesnot see this even after changing the reserve space setting
tried everything still my avaliable space showing up is around 175 mb on a 2gb card . Even when I take out the card it showing the same amount of space I am pretty sure my card is working and I even increased the reserve space on the zune software.
any news on this? same problem here . I've tried both my 16GB SDHC that came with the phone and my 2GB. neither are recognized by the phone. I've tried allocating more reserve space but to no avail. This is what Im seeing after doing the registry modifications (with or without an SD card inserted on the phone.)
thank you very much... i got it finally......
i formatted my 8gb micro sd card on my comp before flashing.
then i flashed wp7 while i kept the sd card inside the phone.
it didnt format my sd card during flashing. i still have 6.3gb space when i check the space in wp7
ok, it was reported that for zune to work,you need atleast a 4gigs space...will try with bigger card
Just flashed [EU/TMOUS][CWR] imilka's HD Sense Series v2.0 1.84[D2EXT][K:rafpigna 1.7 OC] on my hd2 which is an EU one. Had partitioned my 16GB sd card using MiniTool Partition Wizard, making 2 partitions i.e. about 11GB FAT32 and almost 4GB EXT2, both primary. Just copied the zip file of the ROM on my sd card and ran it through AD Recovery (400mb setup one, which is recommended with this ROM). Everything went smooth but after the installation, even if i run the browser i get the message: Storage Full..you dont have enough free space remaining in your phone's storage, whereas in Settings, SD&phone storage my Internal phone storage shows 3.52GB available. I also cannot install any new apps due to this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.
its suggested not to use larger than 2gb ext partition
Had a same problem with my favorite Hyperdroid. After flashing i could not even receive any sms becaus they were rejected because of no space. And i did not have anything weired installed... I solved it by completly formatting again and tnen the whole prodcedure again.. Sorry but that was the only way that helped me;-) But actually i could not solve the prob itselve...
Thanks for your reply. Yes, mine is the same problem, can't even receive emails or browse the internet, the message keeps showing up. I'm ready to repeat the whole process by formmatting my sd card, but I have some simple questions (might sound a little naive as i'm new to flashing android):
1- Do I need to make only 2 partitions? Fat32 and an ext partitions?
2- Do I need to keep any other files on any of these partitions except the ROM before I start flashing through Recovery?
3- Do you also suggest, like Richy99 does, to keep the ext up to 2GB only?
just discovered answers to the above questions. Repeated the whole precess, repartitioned my sd card (this time 2gb ext), and finally got rid of that storage full message. There's a lag though...seems to be slow on my hd2. Moreover, I cant uninstall the apps that came with this. The uninstall button remains grey.

a) Use 1GB ext, NOT 2GB.
b) Lag is beacuse its a DHD rom, you need to wait for all the apps to sync or wait for OS to settle down. Let everything sync and then do a few reboots and wait some hours. Once everything has settled lag should be gone.
c) If you want to remove stuff use "System App Remover" from market.
d) Read your roms instructions properly.
