Well, your should delete all ext2/ext3/ext4 and swap partition in your sd card, there partitions are used in Linux, Windows can't recognize them.
thks antonytyler, when i wanna wipe sd:ext partition stated Error : Run 'wipe ext' via console! i need to wipe by using console or any other way.pls help me.thks.
I'm going to assume you have amon_ra's recovery installed on your g1. Put the old memory card in the phone and reboot to recovery. Go to the partition sdcard menu, then go to the partition sd setting and set both linux swap and ext2 to 0. That will give you back all your missing space.
Also, make sure that the new memory card is class 6 I bought a new Samsung 8GB class 6 with a microsd card reader and a sdcard adapter for $23 shipped to my house from amazon.com. It got to my house last week, and it got here 3 days after i ordered it.
It can do in Windows

I remember that Disk Management in Windows can delete your sd card's ext2/ext3/ext4 partition, you should right click "My computer", select "manage", you will find "disk manage", click the item, you will see the partitions on your sd card, then delete them.
PS: back up your data of your FAT32 partition!
Rooted and running Prime 1.4, I formatted and partitioned the micro sd card with sdext, swap space, and fat32 storage partitions similar to a rooted phone's sd card. Now my computer will not recognize the micro sd card. Do I need the sdext and swap space, or can I do a complete fat32 or NTFS partition?

For me, I just use the normal Win format command to have a FAT32 partition.
Is it possible to get 128GB flash drive working as internal storage in marshmallow? I formatted my pny 128GB flashdrive to fat32 using diskpart and when I try to format it in nexus player to use as internal storage, it quits after around 5 mins saying that it couldn't format the drive. I currently have a 16gb driver as internal storage and it's running out of space. Also I'm using a USB hub with a otg cable if that helps. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I am using an old 250gb sata HDD via a hub with eithernet and it works. Esfilemanager will sometimes crash it requiring a hard reboot to reactivate it but do far so good.
Did you format it in Android so that you can use it as internal storage? I can plug it in as removable storage but can't use it as internal storage.
Make sure you partition as FAT 32 and Master Boot Record instead of GUID Partition or Apple Partition Mac, just to make sure. And remember that FAT 32 won't handle files larger than 4GB, so keep that in mind. If you have the need to use larger than 4GB files you can format the drive to NTFS on Mac using the Tuxera driver or any other third party NTFS driver; Android does read NTFS partitions.

I formatted it as fat 32 and MBR using partitionwizard and still having the same issue. Does anybody have any other suggestions that can fix this?
I formatted my 128gb usb stick to a NTFS files system in a windows machine and then as "internal" in the Nexus Player.
I tried with a 16gb flash drive and 1tb USB hard drive and was able to use any as internal storage. As a matter of fact, the 1tb drive had 3 partitions and the Nexus wiped them for or good and used the entire tera as internal storage.
Hi,
Same problem for me with a 64GB kingston flash drive ... The nexus player fails to format the key as an internal storage. If I try to format as a general USB storage it works, and my key become a 64GB external storage in FAT32 (but useless for me, I have to store big files > 4GB ...). So i want to use it as an internal storage.
Any ideas why the internal storage format option goes into error ?

I have exactly the same problem.
Perhaps it depends on the flash drive model ? Does people getting it working can share their flash drive model ? (I don't want to buy 50 flash drive before I can expand the internal storage ... )
For me, this flash drive doesn't work : Kingston DataTraveler Micro 3.1
I got a SD card that I've formatted in my phone but I just tried to copy a movie (a copy of a Blueray I own) of around 6GB to the card but it fails. I then removed the SD card and inserted it into my Windows 10 computer and tried again after which I'm told the file is too big for the file system on the card. There is plenty of free space on the SD card.
Isn't it possible to have large movie files on the SD card? If it is: What is the trick?
Which file system has the SD been formatted with? See the SD Properties in Windows.

The phone always formats to FAT32 - and if I format to NTFS the phone complains that the SD card is damaged and has to be formatted. It can't even read the NTFS formatted card.
FAT32 is limited to 4GB max file size.
You must format the SD card with exFAT, which also Windows reads/formats perfectly.

Do you know if the S7 Edge can work with exFAT or ?
Yes, of course, I use an exFAT formatted 64 GB SD card in my S7E...
Great - I'll format my card right away then! Thanks
