Logically speaking, a SD card is a SD card so the process would be the same. If I were you I'd back up the contents of my SD and try it out...I'm pretty sure somewhere in the original CM6 thread this subject was mentioned so it might be worth sifting through the mass amounts of pages to try and locate that...

Hi all,
I am going CRAZY trying to find an easy way for me to create an EXT4 partition on my SD card.
Every guide i see tells me to burn a CD wich i cant because i dont have a burner, and then there's the risk of wiping my Hard drive when booting and using Gparted.
Then there are other guides telling me to have a rooted android and all kinds of other options wich i dont have...
Can ANYONE please point me in the right direction (tutorial) or just post a little guide in this thread on how to create an EXT4 partition the easy way...?
I really want to install a final rom for my phone but it's impossible without having a good SD card to save my apps to.
Really reaaaally THANKS in advance

As far as I can see it can only do EXT3 etc but not EXT4
Paragon Hard Disk Manager has the Ext4 option available, have never used it though

You're right, but most of nand ROM support EXT3.

This whole partition thing is a mess. Ive read through numerous threads, been told to do this and that, download mini tools, gparted and paragon, oh and cwr. I really cant get my head around it at all. I currently stuck on the wp7 rom and reading what i have to do to get one of the new nand builds to work, i haven't got a clue. Before I used the gauner hd build (nand with a fat32 sd card).
It's not that hard...
And you don't need to burn GParted to a CD or DVD. You can also install it to a USB Flash Drive and boot off that.

I feel your pain.
Most of the time I have been lucky but when I made a human error, which is called a screwup, you loose alot of time. Now time is something most of us don't have lying around.
There is a build that I am now on which is good I must admit. The way to have the build on your HD2 is simple and straight forward if you follow what is on the page. No bothering with making 'special' partitions via the pc just via the HD2 and it just ... works.
I know the guy has been banned from XDA for copying builds, so I must be using someone elses build from here, hehe
Google 'mccm joon' and you will get to the page. The build is called MCCM HD V5.1 Data2SD.
I formated my sd card to Fat32 before I began and then I followed the very clear instructions in his thread.
Been working like a charm the last couple of days.
Never hesitate to ask for help if you are stuck and can't find a solution!
Thanks, I'll have a look. Ive managed to put the old gauner hd build on and formatted the sd card for now.
Thanks for the replies everyone
Booting from SD seems like the perfect solution i completely overlooked that option :O
I do think it's very weird that we can't manage our SD's (partitions) in windows with some normal program..
Thanks again!
[Q] LF Guide for noob, "How to make all your apps go to + work from sd card"
Hello, im using hd2 512mb with ultimate droid on it, flashed using CWM.
There are realy good guides on how to instal nand to your hd2, and they are all very helpfull and quite easy to understand. However i've seen only one guide how to make all ur apps go to sd card and to work from it, call me noob that i am, but its hard for me to understand how this partitioning and so on works...
So can anyone help out and make an easy to understand guide how to do so? After all apps and ability to have ALOT of them are one of the reasons we choose android.
P.S. I know this may look stupid for a person who understands it, but be understanding. For me flashing a rom at the first time looked hard too, now, i honestly never miss to write a coment and help out if i see a person like me, who has not learned it all.
this rom got issue ... it dont use ext4!
BEEN trying it.. it just dont use
I dont rly know how but i configured it myself and it works, i formated sd, with some simple prog., and made ext3 or ext4 (dont remember know, but i did it based by the guide given in ultimate droid thread), anyways there are a few options in CWM and in ultimate droid itself for apps to go to sd (and it recognizes the partition i made, works amazing now, got 30 apps, biggest -100mb and i only use 30 mb internal storage =)
anyway ty for reply, good to know ppl care =)

Sorry to hear that. I don't have a solution, I am experiencing a similar problem. I have a separate thread in for this. When I check my storage usage one of them shows more files than is possible to store. So far no one has replied to my post. If I figure out how to fix this I will try to get back to you.

Are you booting from SD or internal? If booting from internal, it's possible the SD card has been corrupt. Try it in another device or computer. If it doesn't work there either, try backing it up and formatting the card. If that isn't the issue, try another card.
If booting from SD, leapinlar has a lot of valuable info on his tips and tricks thread.
Good luck.

Someone gave me a bad suggestion about using beta 3.72 safetrap, and it blanked my card. My phone can't format it, and neither can my computer, even when I use the "tape over the write protected" thing
so any way to format it or what, i really just somehow made this thing worthless and have to buy another?

Have you tried disk management utility in windows yet? The following link is for win xp but you can search on your own if you have another version of windows.

thanks, i get shutdown at step 1:
In the Disk Management window, complete one of the following procedures, and then continue to step 2:
To create a new partition, right-click unallocated space on the basic disk where you want to create the partition, and then click New Partition.
To create a new logical drive in an extended partition, right-click free space on an extended partition where you want to create the logical drive, and then click New Logical Drive.
there is no option to click "new partition", at all, so that makes this kind of hard to do.
Any more suggestions would be welcome before I guess I just trhow this brand new SD card away....
