How do i delete the ext2 partition made from clockwork recovery ?
Plug you card into a card reader then access teh partitions via a partitioning software, maybe use the one thats built into windows. Just delete the partitions and format card.
You can probably do it with "SD Card Formatter", google it.

i'm on superhero v2 and i need to reformat my ext2 partition for apps to sd. I dont have a card reader so are ther any ways to do this through the phone?
What do you exactly mean by reformat? You could format your SDcard in the SDcard + Phone storage section and it erases all your data, but deletes any existing partitions. And then you could use AppstoSD2 by MarcusMaximus to partition your SD card to fat32 and ext2

i would like to delete my sd partition for apps2sd
how can i do that?
i would like to be able to use the full capacity of my sd card again
De-check the option in under application and use the recovery from Amon_Ra to reformat the the card to fat32 or pc. Save your data first.
I have android on my Hd2 and the sd card is partioned with a fat32 and an ext3 partion...
I now want to buy a bigger sd card, but how do I migrate the SD partition?
I mean I can create an ext3 partition on the new sd card, move the data from the old fat32 to the new fat32 partition, but what about the ext3 partition whch is not visible in Windows?
thanks
you'll need to find a proper partition manager. I think partition magic could work

I do have a partition manager for windows, but i thought this would only create partitions and not copy them...
I found this link:

a cwm restore won't work ??
Hi all.
I was given an HD2 running CM7 off NAND. It has a 2gb SD card in there, with around 400mb as ext3/ext4 partition.
I want to swap the 2gb for an 8gb card. Having not installed the ROM myself (and am not too familar with the process on the HD2), I'm unsure how to proceed.
Are there any files on the SD card that are likely to be needed for booting?
Can I just stick the new card in, use recovery to partition it and then remove the card - copy the old ext3/ext4 partition data over and it'll be happy?
Do I need to use recovery, can I just a Linux box to do that instead?

assuming you don't have a linux pc that can read ext partitions, id do it this way..
into cwm - full backup.
2gb card into card reader (or mount usb storage in android - or 'mounts and storage - mount sd card' in cwm) - copy off your whole fat32 partition - make sure you have hidden files set to show in windows explorer.
8gb card into phone, back into cwm, create the new ext partition.
8gb card back into card reader (or mounts and storage - mount sd card in cwm) and copy the fat 32 stuff back to the card.
into cwm - restore - advanced restore - restore the sd-ext partition only.
Thanks for the reply.
I do have a Linux PC to hand, and the HD2 doesn't have CWM on it.
So in the end, I used GParted to create a partition table that looked like the existing card and then copied the contents of the old card over. Phone booted up fine
I have a rooted Lenovo S750 with a 16gb sd card
I used Aparted to make a partition for Link2sd. The partitions size now are 4999Mb and 10000mb
I thought that Link2sd would use the first piece but uses the second.
II tried to delete them to make them reverse(10000mb and 4999mb)
With Aparted i can only delete first partion. The second partition is bring up a message say i have to unmount first. I can't unmount second partition
Android only unmount first one.
I tried to connect sd card to pc but minitool says sd card is ready only
Any Suggestions;
I am so stupid. i lost 2 hours for this.
I deleted partition 1 and then android sees partition 2 but if i unmount it Aparted application still bring up message for unmount.
I choose to wipe sd card. Partitions deleted and now is one big 15000mb. I reformatted and I'll try to create partitions again
