Frustrated with this, ive read that i needed to format the SD card as i have Phone7 so did that but its still saying the above error message.
Could someone tell me what needs to be done to sort this.
Could you clearly state your problem. Or if you think you've done so, be more clear then.
Are you formatting the SD card the right way? Using Panasonic SD Formatter 2.0. If you haven't, try that.
What exactly are you formatting it for? For dual-boot of WP7 & Android? Using an Ext3/4 partition for Android or just want your full storage back on your SD card?
I have formatted the SD card with the Panasonic software. All i want to run is a nand android but as soon as i install a few apps it tells me that the storage space is low. I have re-loaded the Abdroid nand rom after a format of the sd card and still have the same problem.
Can anyone help ?
You have a Leo512 HD2 yeah? (One without T-mobile branding on the top)
If that's the case, you need a ROM (most do) which supports either Apps2SD or Data2SD. You need to create a Ext3/4 partition for it to work.
Use the search bar and you'll find out how to partition your SD card if you don't already know.
Well im thick i searched partition n got no answers
Search for something like "how to make an ext3 partition using minitool". Can't get a link atm as I'm on my phone.

Searched before, never did found a good tut for partitioning a SD Card with Success.
Like to partition a SD card to ext/swap/fat32 properly.
Also always wonder, can I install apps on to SD card fat32 partition or ext? rather than the Cell build in memory?(myTouch 3G 1.2)
Can some one point me to a good tutorial to do this?
Or a video tutorial?
Cheer!

Use the option in your recovery image. I think AmonRA's should work just fine.
The ROM your using will decide whether you can install apps to FAT or to EXT partitions. Honestly I would use the EXT partition out of the two because if loaded to FAT you'll lose your Alps when you unmount your SD card. Honestly you've got plenty of internel storage so you shouldn't need it.

I flashed wp7 but now I want to go back to android but my SD card only has 199mb free instead of my original 16gb. I'm guessing due to the wp7 partition. How can I reverse that and get it back to the original 16gb. I've tried formatting it and everything.
Help please
You need to delete the individual partitions of your sd card and make it one big card again
maybe some software will help:
EASEUS Partition Master (Home Edition)
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition
There was a similar thread somewhere...anyway, the only way you can format your sd card back is to put it in a symbian device. It recognises it as broken an formats it. I personally confirm this with Nokia E71. Nokia n97 mini is also confirmed by other people. Since Symbian hasn't changed much in the past year i guess almost all devices from 2008 till now can format your sd card. Now you just need to find one.
You can do it using diskpart in vitsa / 7 just as effectively
Where do I find that disc part at on windows 7?
Google Panasonic sd formatter
Install and in options 'format volume size adjustment 'to on.
You dont need to do all that.
Just falsh an Android ROM onto your phone.
Once you have android up and running, go to Settings>Storage>Erase SD card.
This will un-mount your sd card and format it. Once its complete, it will see all the storage.
Keep in mind it will wipe whatever you have in your SD card.

I just did that and it didn't work for me. I had a 2GB card and it only formatted to 200MB. The card needs to be repartioned in order to regain the space that WP7 takes.
What I did was just stick the card in a USB card reader and used HPUSBDisk.exe on it. Worked out great, but I also unchecked the quick format option (not sure if that matters).
I have the same problem also.. If i understand correctly, we didn't put the SD card once we first boot the window 7. do these partitions method work? Thanks ahead

formated with winmo 6.5 ..
I had put wp7 on my hd2 and experience issues with it restarting over and over on its own.
I have since gone back to android and have notice they my SD only reads 200mb. Its a 16gb SD.
My question, is there a way to restore or undo the format wp7 applied to my SD? I'd rather not buy another SD lol
Any suggestions would be apreciated
I had the same problem.
I could not format in Windows XP or in Windows 7 ...
In the end I formatted in camera.
WP7 creates two partitions - one for system use the other is what you're seeing - the 200mb partition.
Theres program called SD Format nocking around on the internet that should reformat and remove the partion WP7 creates - try googling SD Format that should throw up some links to it - i beleive its freeware.
There are lots of threads and fixes about this, here is one with video:

I flashed the stock ROM then i went to start/tools/Format SD Card & formated worked for me
If you are using a NAND build of Android, you can just format it from the phone and it should recover the remaining amount of the SD card. I don't remember who I saw that posted it on here, but it worked for me when I tried it.
OK so having decent knowledge of how filesystems work, while trying to partition my SD with Minitool like in one of these tutorials on here, to make a second partition on it that's EXT3, minitool died and now it barely recognises the SD.
So - say I load magloader to USB MassStorage and then I can see it in Minitool as Unallocated but when I try to create the partition it stops for a while and then finishes really fast telling me it finished and afterwards the whole disk disappears from Minitool and magloader's stuck.
I tried HP Format tool, it's saying "Disk is write-protected".
I tried Harddisk Low Level Format Tool... errors, nothing more.
Currently trying Minitool Power Data Recovery... so far it says "Files Identified: 38" so that might be promising but...
If anyone knows how to get their SD unstuck ------ another detail... I can only mess with the SD card through MAGLDR, my HD2 didn't come with a SD adapter..
Please help me out
Best regards,
John
basicaly your problem is cos u trying to do it from
magldr. that's bad idea. u really need card reader for that !!!

Yeah, it's basically what Rikardo said, MAGLDR can corrupt files and isn't the best way to mess around with your SD card. Try install CWM and do it that way, much more stable.
You should really invest in a card reader though.
Install wm6.5 on your hd2 and format it from the phone. I know I stuck a windows phone 7 sd in my hd2 and it totally formatted it and got rid of the partition and all.
lol found a microsd adapter laying around !!! it's working thank you
u can also use any digital camera with sd slot and u can format it in the camera.tested working

My sd card is dead i cannot recover the 16 gb sd card unallocated space i cant format anymore my pc wont recognize it it would say unknown space
My HD2 is already an SD card killer.
It begins with the "there is an problem with your SD Card message" and it ends with lost of all data and an unformatable sd card.
My HD2 killed 3 SD Cards, 2 of them -> SDHC
I know my hd2 killed two 16 gb sd cards i cant recover i tried this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKl2dvzDa5U and its directions but i cant make it work it says that the driver is not supported

Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me, I've got WP7.5 install as a NAND installation, with Android 4.0.4 as a SD installation. Both work brilliantly, although I do have some slight problems.
Android won't detect an SD card installed, so I can't use some apps, that require an SD card to be present.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this, surely I'm not the only person in this position.
Cheers
I'm guessing it's because your SD has been formatted specially by WP, and Android can't read this. Your FAT32 partition is probably too small for anything to be stored in it.
The Fat32 partition is 1.6Gb.
Is it worth making that bigger, or creating another FAT32 partition?
Cheers
Hmm, I'd guess that you wouldn't have any more than 200-300MB free on your SD as read by SD Android then. I don't know how much an SD Android build takes up but the data.img is at least 1GB of that. As for increasing the partiton/creating a new one, I don't actually think that's possible without losing your data is it?
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I'm not too fussed about losing anything...
Here is what I have just tried without any success.
I have a 8Gb card partitioned like this.
1.*Gb
Primary, FAT32, (Android SD install)
2Gb
Primary, FAT32, (My hope would be that Android would see this as the SD card)
4Gb Other (WP 7 partition)
No luck unfortunately, any ideas?
Cheers
Are you sure you're using an 'unlockable' WP7.x ROM? If so, try formatting the storage card to normal and flash a Android build, see if it utilises the memory card like normal, if it does, then I would say that you're doing something wrong when setting it up.
Just double check each step of a tutorial (example: this one) twice and hopefully you'll only have to flash one more time.
Why do you have 2 fat 32 partitions ?...just use one fat 32 partition..in regular sd android....data image is used as internal memory and fat 32 part as sd card
I believe your second partition is not being recognised...make only one fat 32 partition you don't need two
