When you press Fn+F3 at boot time, the shift will ask:
"Do you want to rebuild the MBR (Master Boot Record) Data?"​
If you answer "Yes", it will remove all the partitions you've made and create a single partition using the whole hard drive.
If you answer "No", your partitions will be kept, and only the 1st primary partition (where vista should be installed) will be formatted, and new vista installation will be placed there, leaving all the other partitions untouched.
Thanks brother very much ! and by the way, please tell me how to anable auto-brightness sensor again ?
When you reinstall vista with Fn+F3, it will work again
Thank you very much !
Hi friends, today i tried to partition my pc's hard disk with minitool partition wizard. I have partitioned my 500gb hard disk in the following way:
C-100 gb
G-175 gb
I-175 gb
There was already recovery partition in D:
I selected as logical partition for G and I
wen i selected apply, It gave me 3 options. one was restart now.
I selected restart now. It booted into some different screen. some progress took place in progress bars and then a black screen appeared and the following text is shown
Code:
(1) of (5) operations..
Resize partition
Partition Letter: C:
Disk index :1
Partition Index: 2
New partition starting LBA: 409664
New Partition Size : 462536 MB
It is staying on this screen from more than 2hrs. The operation is still showing as (1) of (5) operations only. Can any1 help? Im stuck. Plz....
Is there an option to format the partitions?
Where in the black screen? No there is no option
or among the three options? No other two were "retry" and something else
Anybody else know any solution?

Ext4 / NTFS MicroSd & Usb Mounting -v2.3 (fat32 UMS) MTP/UMS Switching/ CM9/10 info
Hi,
i have developed an App, EzyMount - that pretty much takes care of mounting & utilising ext4 / ntfs storage properly. So no need to be limited to 4gb file size restrictions anymore !!
Updated info for CM9 / CM10 builds
****************************************************************
It seems that CM9 /CM10 changes the default mount point for external sdcards
For ntfs partition only sdcard
Change the default mount point to: /storage/sdcard1
Then try mounting here it should work ok and be picked up automatically by other Apps as well.
If you have two partitions:
1st Partition would be vfat then this should get auto mounted to /storage/sdcard1
2nd Partition (ntfs) : change the mount point to: /storage/sdcard0/extStorages1
Then try mounting here it should be ok
*****************************************************************
Version 2.3 Update
Universal Mass Storage Mode support for 7.7 tabs also most other devices.
Auto MTP/UMS Switching
When you select either MTP Mode or UMS Mode, the App will automatically switch your device into these respective USB transfer method.
It is also possible to use UMS mode for any external MicroSd card, fat32, Ext4 or NTFS formatted.
For ext4 / ntfs this is taken care of by the App
For fat32 external sd cards (these are mounted automatically by Android)
Create a new Mount Point which is the folder location of your external MicroSd card.
For example, on Galaxy 7.7 devices - this will be /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard.
For Galaxy S3 devices - this will be /mnt/extSdCard
For other devices this is typically, /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
In the partition setting put: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Once you have created this mount point, just select "UMS Mode".
After you have finished copying files to or from your PC, it is important to "safely eject your usb device from your PC".
Important too - Finally, disable "UMS Mode" by it pressing again.
You can switch back to MTP by selcting "MTP Mode".
(If MTP does not become active straight away (Android being slow too pick up the change)- you may need to Go to : Settings > Storage > USB PC connection & toggle between Media Device (MTP) & Camera PTP. So Android re-starts MTP. However, it should work without this step)
*****************************************************************
Version 2.1 update
1) New Sliding UI.
2) Ability to mount up to 10 devices / partitions.
Just create a new Mount Point for each device / partition you need to mount.
To create a new Mount Point:
Just slide the UI to the "mount another drive or partition". Then just use select a mount option as per usual to create a new mount point and mount at the same time. Or you can press the "microsd info" "usb drive info" to create a new Mount Point.
3) Works with ICS update
Just ignore "ICS warning messages" - when it comes to ntfs usb devices.
*****************************************************************
Version 1.7 update
1) Quite a few new features added:
NTFS / Ext4 MTP Modes - this allows you to easily switch between "normal mode" and MTP mode.
MTP mode is used for transferring files to PC.
Usage Example:
Personally, I have a 32 gb sd card
the First partion on it is an exFat 4 gb partition. This is picked up the tab and mounted as normal to the location of /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard
I can use this for my cwm backups etc, other files etc - system running as normal.
This 4gb partition will show up in windows via MTP.
The problem:
I also have a 28GB Ext4 second partition on the Card , this could be an NTFS partition too.
I want this too show up in windows so I can transfer (br rips etc) but it wont as the my first fat32 partiion is shown up instead.
By using NTFS MTP Mode or Ext4 MTP Mode - the App will automatically "switch" the partitions so the larger NTFS or EXT4 mode shows up in windows.
Once done then you can disable NTFS / EXT4 MTP MODE and the device will go back to normal as it were.
(the MTP folder location is set to work already for 7.7 devices and similiar. For other devices this needs to be adjusted. It is normally the default folder loaction of where the external SD card is mounted by the phone.)
UMS Mode - universal mass storage mode.
Although the 7.7 does not have ums mode (MTP is being standardised on ics devices and above) but there a lot of devices than can only use ums mode for transferring file to PC.
I have added a ums mode. Which basically makes your micro sd partitions available on pc. (suitable for non MTP devices)
You do not need to "turn on usb mass storage mode" just select "ums mode" from the APP and it will do it for you.
Also - in windows ext4 partitions are not recognised but ntfs one are off course. In linux both should be available. (one of the benefits of MTP)
Comaptibility Mode
Is for those users whose mounting of micro sd cards might fail for some reason. This mode tries a bit more thorough to mount your micro sd drives.
Better Error Messages
I have added a lot of better error messages that the de facto "error mounting " message
It should provide the reason why things might not be mounting.
I hope this helps some with issues and pm if you have any other issues or things you think might be useful to add.
( I will get round to updating the website with the added features soon)
*****************************************************************
version update 1.6
1) Fixed slight issue with Auto Ext4 permission handling.
2) Also changed the default mount folders of NTFS or Ext4 microsd card to the /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard
This should mean now MTP will see the card in windows properly and you can access them as you would normally. (I think this has caused some confusion - i had left this generic for other users on different devices)
(This means for other devices you should specify the folder in the "location" settings which is normally seen by windows MTP - i.e when you use a fat32 microsd)
I hope this has resolved some issues people might have been having.
version update 1.5
1) Modified labelling on some settings to make it clearer.
2) Mounting usb devices has been slightly tweaked to care of multiple partitions.
version update 1.4
Following on from your recommendations.
1) Mounting MicroSd Ext4 or Ntfs now automatically takes care of you partitions so you do not need to specify them.
This should make it much simpler to mount your microsd cards.
2) Usb Mounting widget should be compatible for all home screen launchers. (touchwiz, adwlauncher etc.)
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
please remember to unmount usb / microsd devices before ejecting - For usb devices you use the 1-click usb mount/umnount home screen widget for this or from within the App
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
There have been a few issues regarding using external Usb formatted Ntfs or Ntfs microsd drives. Also I wanted to use an internal micro sd Ext4 partition for large movies (1080p hi-def/bluray etc) or just keep them on an external Ext4 usb disk. Having looked at other solutions, there didn't seem like one that just "worked" or the way I wanted it to do so.
Using Ext4 over Ntfs is native to linux/android and it consumes less cpu than using ntfs. But you cant simply mount an ext4 device and start using it like a regular file system as the file permission are not properly created by Android. I also still needed to have Ntfs read/write support on occassions.
You can use any cheap otg usb cable found on ebay etc. (The same cables as used for 10" galaxy tab devices for example).
As I used the 7.7 as one of my development device so it is pretty suited for our tabs & similiar tablets i.e 7.0+ etc, but is more than generic enough to work on other devices.
The App provides all the necessary features and customization options so you don't need to worry about file formats, file size limitations or file permissions again !!
There are more tips on how to best use the app on my website. If you have any comments good or bad please let me know so I can improve the App.
Cheers.
Need help in mounting microSD as Mass Storage
I don't understand Settings Guide on your website. I downloaded your app but it isn't working for me and I get Partition error every time I try to mount. What should be my partition and what should be the location? I simply want to mount my NTFS microSD card as mass storage which is usually at /extstorages/SDcard/. I did root my device last night and I also installed busybox v1.19 few minutes ago. What am I doing wrong?
Same here, says "Check your partitions". Why do *I* have to worry about partitions? Can't it just work?
Using rooted Tab 7.7.

Hi guys,
The default partition of your microsd card is typically:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1
1) If you have only one partition - so you will put the following in the partition setting:
So for example an NTFS only formated microsd card :
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1
And the same would go for an Ext4 formatted only card:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1
2) If you have two partitions then typically you will have:
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
And so on ..
(you can always check for these from a terminal/adb shell)
As these partitions are same for your microsd, you can set them once and forget them about afterwards. I don't try automatically choose these partitions for you and this depends on your partitioning scheme more than anything.
For Usb devices the App will automatically try mounting your usb partitions as these are likely to change more often then not.
Typically, I would recommend the following:
If you have a large 32gb / 64 gb microsd card
Create The first partition as fat32 - maybe 4gb.
This partition will be /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
The tab will automatically mount this first partition & you can use things like cwm recovery for backup as normal.
(Also you wont see an unsupported file system icon in your status bar.)
Then create a second large partition (ext4 or ntfs) :
This partition will be /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
So set this as your Ntfs partition or ext4 partition.
Once you can mount you microsd ok - then you can set it to automount boot.
So need to mess with the settings after that.
Hope this helps and please let me know.
Cheers.
Still MTP connection
Thank you for your explanation. I've can now mount/unmount SD card but when I connect it computer it starts MTP connection and still shows under my computer as a portable device rather than a Mass Storage. Also if I connect it to my computer first it would still ask me to restart the MTP connect when I click mount SDcard and again it shows as a portable device. Changing debugging settings won't help either.
Partition /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Location /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard

I just tried this. If you click on the "portable device" in windows it shows up as tablet. You can copy files to where you mounted the sd card.
It should work fine.
For me I leave set pretty much as default. As I have the first partition on my sdcard as an exfat / fat32. Then I have an ext4 or Ntfs Partition. This way you tab will behave exactly as normal. But The App should be fine regardless of whatever partitions you have.
Please try this and let me know.
(Also I will look to be adding an auto mounting microsd feature in the next few updates if there is some demand for this. Plus any other features people might suggest in the meanwhile )
Cheers.
To those who have installed EzyMount,
I have updated the microsd mounting feature so it should automatically mount the correct partition for you.
You dont have to manually change the partition settings anymore.
Having said that if there is a particular partition on your microsd you want to mount, then put that in the settings. The app will first try to mount that partition, then try to mount the other partitions if the first mount was not successful.
Also i would suggest setting the mount point folder (location option in settings) to /sdcard/SOME_FOLDER
& not /ext/extStorages/SdCard. which is where the tab mount would mount the microsd card.
Let me know how it goes with the update.
Hope this helps.
cheers.
Hi buddy.
I am totally confused as to how this works.
I went through the info at your website, but I still cannot get this to work.
I have tried only USB flash memory with an OTG USB adapter, both EXT4 and NTFS. I just get an error that says: Error Mounting USB Drive. I can tell that it seems to try, because the activity LED on the drive will flash when I click Mount.
I am using a Samsung Note (i717), so I am not sure if that is the problem. I am only rooted, but the kernel and software is stock 2.3. The phone has both internal memory (called USB Storage by the system) and an sd card; could the app be confused by the various memory locations?
I don't have a spare microsd to format as NTFS, otherwise I would try that.
Any ideas on what I should try? I am a little confused by the settings... they seem to be in many locations, so I am not sure what things to change.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have slightly updated the labelling in the App so should a bit less confusing
You shouldn't really need to change anything.
Partition - refers to the actual "physical" location of your drive as sen by the Androis OS / kernel but this is taken care of automatically so you dont need to specify this. Although you can still specify a partition and that will be mounted.
(You can see the list of your partitions by doing ls /dev/block/* for a command prompt for example)
Location - is where your microsd or usb device will be mounted. Basically the folder loaction on your device where you can see its files / folder contents etc.
The other option refer to the various features - such as auto mounting at boot, auto fixing ext4 permissions, auto usb mounting. If you dont need them you can disable them.
So hopefully we can narrow down the issue.
Do you have busybox,superuser installed ok?
I am not sure what the actual "Usb Storage" on the note is. Maybe there is a variation in the labelling but it should be resolvable.
If you can get me the output from your device from an adb shell or connectbot for example of the following commands:
# mount
and
# df -h
These should help me figure out what might be going on.
(i'll see If i can get my hands on a galaxy note - or have a look at some of the dev stuff in the meanwhile)
Cheers.

No problems - been busy with some other work.
So far the App has been installed on the note more tham any other device so seems to be working for some.
A lot of problems are being caused by some users not unmounting the usb device after mounting it for the first time. Which confuses things. I will be releasing an update that takes care of this and possibly a self diagnostics checker that should help in identifying some potential problems.
Also android / linux can be somewhat particular about ntfs so best run a drive check in windows first. Or even better can you try another newly formatted ntfs usb device and see if that works.
I will pm you once i get the chance.
Thanks.

This is working great for my 64GB microsd as NTFS. The main problem i have (rather an annoyance) is there is now a constant notification about a "Blank SD card" in the notifications shade.
Does anyone know how to supress this, as it is very annoying to keep seeing it.

You could use the solution ezynow mentions in the first post. Create a small fat32 partition at the start of the SD card, this will also be accessible by things like recovery. Then use the rest of the card as NTFS.
I should apologize for not seeing that tip in the OP. I'll have to wait till i've got some time to repartition the card - any suggestions of what size to make the small one?
Only other problem I see is that the "mount at boot" option doesn't seem to work and I still have to go to the app to enable this.
Trouble with Ext4 MTP
I'm using a 32GB external sd card with a very small 8MB fat32 partition followed by an ext4 partition using the remainder of sdcard. Using Ezymount 1.9, I have been able to mount/bootmount my ext4 partition nicely. Where I'm still struggling is to get the ext4 partition to be accessible when the phone is USB attached to my Linux pc. When the USB cable is attached, I see the phone's internal sd and fat32 partition. When the EXT4 MTP option is enabled, still the fat32 partition is mounted on my pc. I've experimented with UMS and Compatibility modes, but the behavior remains the same.
On my SGS2, the default mount location for the fat32 partition is /mnt/sdcard/external_sd. I created /mnt/sdcard/external_sd_ext4. My external sdcard appears as /dev/block/cyasblkdevblk0, with the fat32 partition as p1 and ext4 as p2. I've configured Ezymount for ext4 with /dev/block/cyasblkdevblk0p2 with a location of /mnt/sdcard/external_sd_ext4. I've tried a number of points for the MTP location, but the resulting behavior remains the same.
Can you help me to get the ext4 partition accessible from my pc when attached via USB?
Thanks

Hi GalaxyQuest99,
Could you please run the diagnostics report and send it to me. Hopefully, it is a configuration issue.
What phone/tablet are you using & Also what linux os are you running so i can repoduce the issue.
I am also working on some major new features - so version 2.0 is in the works
Thanks.

Hi,
There should be a report generated under /sdcard/ezymount_test.txt.
Could you email it to [email protected].
If there isnt a report then email me at this address too so i can you send you an updated version of the app if needed.
Will setup ubuntu and test this also.

Try using Minitool partition wizard, it helped me a lot of times.
When you open it it should show you all hdd (external, internal) partitions, and flash memory drives. Right click on your sd card and delete partition, and then create fat partition and click on apply changes. MAKE SURE you are deleting sdcard partition, not something else. Of course, by deleting partition you'll lose all data on the sdcard. Hope it helps...

Why not use the Window's command line disk repair utility "Diskpart".
If your sdcard cannot be formatted normally then you need to perform
"Delete/Create" partition in diskpart before you can format it.
In disk part there are a lot of options you can choose from including
"Delete partition", "Create partition"... Delete and Create partition
is what you need to do before you can successfully format it.
Just click on RUN in your start menu and type "CMD" and press "enter"
then type "diskpart" and press "enter" again.
I have done this many times with great success.
Good luck!

If you want a list with examples of how to use diskpart
then click on this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770877.aspx
You will find it very helpful, it gives all commands and examples of the

At the command prompt just type "diskpart", you can type "?" and "Help"
in diskpart itself to give you examples of the commands.
Good luck!
While I was using the device I got a pop up showing, SD card is corrupt.
I tried formatting with windows and got error message windos was unable to complete format
I tried with chkdisk and got error saying the partition is RAW format
I tried using Minitools Partition recovery wizard. It showed that there is no partition. So I created a partition, and applied. After finishing all the operation, It showed bad disk
I tried to format with ubuntu and got the following error.

I tried with gparted. Same like minitools, It showed my disk as unallocated partition.
I tried to create a partition and got this error
Code:
No partition table found on device /dev/sdb
Then I tried to create a partition table and got the errors

If there is no way to fix my card, Samsung may provide replacement. But I am concerned about possibilities of Data Recovery and Misuse if I give my card to them.
Try with this with gparted:
Device>Create partition table...
Then try to format your sdcard
I had the same issue once with the same card. Thank god I made a backup earlier. I am not sure if this is a Moto problem or the card's but I did found out something. When Marshmallow asks to format the card as internet or portable, it doesn't quite reads the type. But once you format it as internal in order to move all the apps and then decide to format it as portable later, the phone acts weird and ultimately, the card starts having problems. If you ask me personally, I always hated this "format as internal" ****ty feature in Marshmallow. I really hope Nougat will fix this ridiculous issue.
I had bought my Evo from Amazon and they always have an amazing return policy. My card got corrupted within a month and I called them immediately to initiate a refund process. But the fact is the card was never corrupted. The phone made it that way! Now I am using a Sandisk Ultra 16 gb but I only inserted it after formatting it in my pc as FAT32. And then made it portable in my Moto of course. These memory cards usually have a very low life. It gets corrupted quite easily if proper care is not taken.
I suggest you return your card or get it fixed under your warranty asap man. And always remember, do not format it as internal memory. You dont wanna risk all your private stuffs by doing that. SD cards are always better as portable. After all, they were made for that purpose!
Good luck and Good day!

As someone who's had bad luck with failing flash drives a few times, specially ones which were crucial to work, can really understand how frustrating it can be of you're stuck with a bad disk.
Before going further, based on my own experience, I'd say given chance that the drive could be failing, it's advisable not do anything that might write on the drive. Any OEM or vendor tests or repair utilities, are likely to cause more harm than fix things back up. This obviously, is if you've data on there you'd not want to lose. Second step from here would be looking for VID captured through SMART to ascertain exact manufacturer, this could be important consider the flash storage within the card is from a vendor other than the company that sells the card. Depending on how much, possible data loss, could cost, you could consider getting professional services specially if the device your disk was tied to is enterprise managed. If not so, then cost of recovery could be several (hundred) times more than cost of the disk.
Using software available online, even ones which are paid, could offer only a brute force level hit and trial data recovery, with their very limited functionality. Most, even ones such as icare or easus have mostly been built around standard SATA drives, which are far more notorious with retaining data after several rewrite cycles. Even SMART is still largely in the ide/sata domain. But if your data isn't life or death crucial you could give it a shot. On lucky days I've recovered entire partition with tools as basic as Recuva, though of course after the format has been fixed.
Fixing the raw error ideally should get dealt with by the wonder tool Rufus, but as you obviously would have figured it that would happen at cost of data loss. Though Rufus can be counted on last ditch efforts to salvage the disk by fixing bad sectors. Being available across platforms I've found it to be my GO TO tool for all things related to flash drives, specially when I have to try a new distro or mount an old one out of the blue. The only catch I can think of is the disk not being read via USB adapter, which I've found getting fixed with using a standard SD adapter and connecting via MTP.
The ideal flow of data recovery: copy image, mount as virtual partition, followed by Sector level scan for recoverable fragments is going to depend on your disk not having physical failure, as the last user pointed out too. In which case, it would be a case of coat vs risk assessment. Most vendors are happy to return the disk or give a replacement, but that being the worst case scenario, so perhaps it would boil down to deciding between bearing cost of a new memory card or risking compromising private data, that should be the clincher. And the experience and the knowledge gained in the experience as the silver lining.
TL;DR: buy a new one in favor of safeguards personal data, be severely critical of Manufacturer, seller, Amazon et al and get a free replacement without return citing privacy issues by giving hell to the call center kid
OR format to a readable version with chance of permanent data loss by Googling for RAW error fix, and torrenting a suitable program for 'evaluation' and get done with it.

Fix Corrupted RAW Samsung EVO 32GB card
While formatting the Windows system, if your Samsung EVO 32GB card corrupted then do not worry, just try some easy ways to fix raw SD card and recover data from your raw SD card. First of all, I think you try use the Disk Management Tool which is an inbuilt tool present in Windows system. Also, you try to use CHKDSK command. After trying these ways, you can try to ix corrupted raw SD card and then recover the data from SD card.

While I was using the device I got a pop up showing, SD card is corrupt.
I tried formatting with windows and got error message windos was unable to complete format
I tried with chkdisk and got error saying the partition is RAW format
I tried using Minitools Partition recovery wizard. It showed that there is no partition. So I created a partition, and applied. After finishing all the operation, It showed bad disk
I tried to format with ubuntu and got the following error.
Code:
