seriously...
froyo apps2sd is a lot more powerfull - you can still pull out your sd card anytime
and if you really still want to use your sd - why not make it apps2ext like in good ol' cyanogenmod days?
Every android phone until froyo just symlinked an ext partition to data/apps
...

ok thanks !

[Q] MagLdr Android SD Card Problems

Hello guys.
I have a HTC HD2 running Windows Phone 7 (on MagLdr 1.2).
I want to DualBoot Android AND WPH. Ive watched a tut on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo
I did exactly the same and after that i took this Android DesireHD Built: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881937
It worked fine but android said, that there isnt a sd card in the device. Of course it is, cuz android boots from the sd card. When i remove my sd card, android freezes (of course). I tried to restart and i put the 512 MB data.img in the folder but there was the same problem again..
I tried it with an other card and i pushed the button "mount sd card"
and than it said "u can take out the sd card now" (or something like that)
Plz help me!
I am having the exact same problem. Have you found the problem/solution to it.
thanks.
you both update you magldr that should fix your issues.
so get newest radio, than flsh magldr 1.3
before you update make a complete backup!!
hope you both have the right partition layout on sd card.
(first partition must be fat32 second ext3 or ext4)
hope this helps.
for tut look at forums or pm me!!
Can someone describe the exact steps that are required to mount the SD card when the Android build is being run off the SD card using MAGLDR.

They are running Android from their SD card. It is not going to show a SD card being in the device because Android thinks the SD card is the device......

This will not help them at all, MAGLDR just serves as the bootloader for Android not the OS.
Allso you can not remove your SD card will booted into Android if you are using a SD card build it is running of the SD card not NAND.

So basically I cannot mount the SD card, no matter how it is formatted ?
I totally have this same problem. Neither WP7 or Droid will read the 16 GB card I'm using to run Droid. I think I'm using the DesireHD build also, maybe its that? I can probably see if changing it makes a difference.
I have the same problem. First time i installed WP7 and android, everything was working fine. Then i had to reset WP7 because it kept freezing, i followed the same steps again to dual boot with android and it booted fine but SD CARD is not mounted for some reason. I have tried 3 different android builds with same problem. Any help or tutorials?

This happened to me too with two SD cards. What I did was I run the Partition SD Card from AD Recovery. I forgot the partition layout, just find something that works for you. I was surprised that it has successfully created a partition...this erased everything so I needed to re-copy ROM files to SD card via Card Reader on my PC.
When I did it over, It finally worked. Am now running Sensation XL ROM.
HTH

Do you still have WP7 flashed on the NAND? Absolute worst case scenario, start at the beginning. Reflash Windows Mobile 6.5, then Magldr, then Android ROM for NAND.
Am I reading this right that you're booting Android from your SD card?
win7 already i flash witn android nand. No its not booting from SD. it booting from Nand.
I guess my next question is why would you want to put photos and music on the NAND? The HD2 only has 1GB. Wouldn't those files be better suited for the SD card?

You don't have to have a ext partition to make your phone recognize your sd card.
Anyways, random issues can occur running android using the sd card method. I would recommend you to flash android in your nand. More stable, and faster

Please help me!
You can't mount SD Card because Android is running off the SD card. It reads the data.img on the SD card as internal storage and doesn't detect any SD card (I think) so it won't work. Also, in future please use a proper thread title, 'Question' tells us nothing about your problem

Hmm i remember there being some sort of trick to allow one to still mount the SD card , this was on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 running Froyo , but i dont see why it wont work here . Maybe if you partition the SD card ? I cant remember exactly what it was i'll browse around over on PPCGeeks to see if i can find it

Pls help me.
I faced the same problem.
I'm using WP7.5 on NAND.
And Android 2.2 Sense on SD CARD.
Doesn't read anything from the sd card. Doesn't read my APKS etc..( I had massive data corruptions)
So i ended up removing Wp7.5 and reinstalling Android back.
SD partition of Android should be set to Primary which means you should have two Primary partition for WP7 & Andy.
you should see those in mini partition tool

No SD Storrage aviable with Android SD Build

Hey Folks,
I'm using my HD2 in Dual Boot with WP7 and Android on extra SD Partition. I've installed WP7 on NAND Memory and all the data like Apps, Music and Pics are stored in a 10GB Partition on my SD Card. I created a second partition with the 6GB wich are left from my 16GB SD Card. There i placed some different Android SD Build Roms. They are all running fine on my HD2 and i can boot without any problems into Android SD.
My only problem is that my Android SD Build doesnt recognize any SD Storrage Card. I cant put any Pics or Music on my Android or even download something with Android. Is there a way to get the Android Partition on my SD Card as SD Storrage?
Would be prety cool to have a solution for this problem.
Thanks and Greets
