How do I unpartition my sd card? Lag fix+ extra space.

Hey all, I used the lag fix which adds the extra space..but now I'm using jpf clean and probably lestatious when 1.1 is released so I kinda want the 1gb back for my sd card...but windows won't even detect the partition...can anyone help? I would have posted in the developer thread but I don't have permission yet =x

how u partition it in 1st place??
use minitool partition wizard it's freeware
Edit: all data will lost so better backup b4 deleting

I used mini tool to partition it but it doesn't show up with both partitions, it only shows the fat 32 one..i used a standard usb cable plugged into the phone when I partitioned it. All my stuff is already backed up and ready to go.

[Q] Formatting SD card

My SD card is really cluttered and I just want to reformat it, I was just wondering if there's a speacial way to reformat? Or do I just right click the drive on my computer and click format?

Where did you get your SD card from cuz it sounds like it may be starting to go bad. I'd try formating again with a stock ROM...bit of a pain i know, but might produce a better result also you may wanna try to just reformat a few times in a row with your current ROM to see if it corrects the problem.
best option is if it keeps up is to pull your SD card out of your device and format with a computer when u have access to one then format using your device.

SD Card constantly remounts as being "read-only"

It's has really been the pain in the arse. Really.
I use Lord's Ice Cold Sandwich. This happens occasionally, when I tried to download SD data for a game, the SD card remounts as being read-only.
I tried full-wipe flash, format SD card with Disk Utility of Ubuntu, then reflash it with Android's utility. I tried unmounting sdcard in CWM. I tried fix permission option in CWM. Nothing helps so far.
Thanks in advance!!! :angel:

There's an app on the Play Shop which claims to fix this, give it a try

I guess the problem lies in permission thingy. Flash this zip file in here works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458021
Gud luck!

i think your card is getting faulty ......
back up all data and then go for any experiments ....

I actually tried that. The other day I backed up stuff than formatted the thing with Disk Utility tool of Ubuntu. I then went extreme, formatted it again on Android.
I guess the app above might help. The thing is I'm still under 18 for a credit card, hence gotta wait another year to be eligible.... mannnnn
Apparently, the SD card is still in R/W mode, it isn't til I start download data for games, download music, use dolphin... that it becomes read only. The process usually goes for half the bar, than stop.

Should I repartition the SD card with swap storage and ext4 and stuff?

Just format the card with 4ext then reflash rom.

Are you able to flash your SD card? If you are having the same files after the formatting which you had then I don't think anything will work rather than replacing your SD card

Getting rid of phone with android but keeping sd?

I'm looking to get rid of this phone with android on it, but keep my sd cars. I used the magldr and clockworkmod. Well I be able to take my sd out, factory reset(from magldr i assume) and give the person a working android hd2? Or would I need to put another sd card in and start over?

Just format it as FAT32, use something along the lines of Panasonic SD formatter
