i had a 16 gb micro sd and then when i put it in my phone and connect t to computer it shows 200 mb an eveything is erased
been playing with wp7? that formats most of your card to some funky wp7 format, and leaves you 200 meg free.
use gparted to re partition it.
Or of you don't have a Linux system just use the easier Panasonic SD Formatter 3.0 (Google it) and format it. It'll show as 200mb but hit format and wait for it to format and then it'll return to original size.

i just tryed it not . working plz help ..
How can that not work?
Try to do a full erase using panasonic, that should work.
Oh by the way, make sure you have your SD card plugged in to a card reader snd not just using 'USB MassStg' option in MAGLDR. I used to have the same problem then I just had an SD card reader and it worked.
got a digital camera? shove it in there with the adpater if needed, and format it. twice. just to make sure. and on your computer format it again. there you go. back to normal you can hit the thanks button

I tried out wp7 on my phone a couple days again, but now has reflashed to nand android. The problem is that my sd is only recognized as having 200mb worth of space when in fact it is a 16gb card. How can i fix this problem?

Ah, C'mon, please search the forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
grab the partition manager from there and repartition your sd card and you are back to bussines.
this will work
download Attach Files and this should work then right click on card and format again fat 32 quick plz give me thank this will work
Also, you can format your sd card from android itself. Go to settings, unmount your sd card and format it. Easiest way.
If you have a custom rom you can format the partitions from the recovery menu too
im really confused so i want to unmount it plug in the usb and use window formatter to reformat is?
Hi,
So I have this weird issue.
My microSD sanDisk 8GB worked fine with my first NAND Rom (NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9G_NAND).
Then I wanted to try a new Rom so I flashed to another Rom (DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand). Before doing this I also fully formatted my SD to FAT32.
I had my microSD in the phone while flashing the second one. And after the boot, it didn't not recognize th SD at all, "preparing your SD" didn't even appear. So I try to put the microSD into PC, and it still recognizes it. I can moves files into it and it works. But the phone just the doesn't read the SD.
Then I tried my friends SD, I did a full format to FAT32. And guess what, it works.
So, the only conclusion I can come to is there's something wrong with my SD and the cause was the second rom.
P.S. I'm back to my first Rom now. And still, SD card unmounted or not present.
Sucks you lost your SD card but the rom or magldr did not damage your card you must of done something wrong to where your phone is not reading the card. You should wipe everything and try again chances are it will work like a charm.
Formatting
Hi, thanks for reply. I tried to reformat 3 times already with a same result.
My settings are:
FAT32 (FULL FORMAT)
Allocation: 64kb
Maybe panasonic formatter can help you.

Hi, thx for replying. Yes I tried that too, but since I didn't have a card reader I had to use USB Mass Storage. And when I opened up the program it said this device is not supported.
So I had to use Windows formatter.
Not sure if you fixed it yet or not but I used backward to fix mine. On any generic Linux build cfdisk or fdisk it to partition it out to a fat32 lba partition . Will fix it right up.

Hi, thx for answering. Could you please elaborate more on how I should use Linux to partition? I've never used Linux before, but I have and know how to use Gparted Live.

Do NOT use MAGLDR 1.13 USB mass storage and dont listen to the person who told you to either.
1.13 has a very bad bug with mass storage driver and it corrupts sd/data. If you haven't got a card reader go back to 1.12 and use that mass storage or CWR mass storage as an alternative.
Once you have done this use Panasonic SD formatter on following settings...
FORMAT TYPE: FULL (ERASE ON)
SIZE ADJUSTMENT: ON

I had this problem too, surprisingly with the same ROM. Are you using Clockwork Recovery? If so go into Clockwork Recovery -> Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> Pick some sizes. After doing this my SD card worked fine.

Thanks mate, worked fine! Seems like this ROM is bugged. GJ
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 HD2 killed 3 SD Cards, 2 of them -> SDHC

Ok so i bought a new 8gb Sandisk Micro sdhc card. the problem is i cant partition it. ive tried 3 different partition programs and none will allow me to delete the main Fat32 and create new. My old 2gb works fine.
I can reformat it but just cant delete or create any partitions.
Any suggestions?

Use windows to format it to fat32. Then use Ubuntu, either installed or from a live cd, and use gparted to create whatever partitions you want.
Sent from my cm7 Aria.
You can also use Clockwork.
I do all partitioning using GParted in Ubuntu. Never had a problem.
Ok i tried Gparted and it wont partition, comes up with errors, then i cant format it back to fat32, so i have to use windows. I still have the reciept, maybe i will bring it back today and get a new one. this one is probebly faulty.
oh yea and clockwork dont have an option to partition. i tried rom manager and it reboots then tries to do it , progress bar goes anout 25% then reboots normallay. unsuccesful.
If you are having trouble formatting the card, I recommend trying this before returning it: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
It's a very simple tool but it is designed specifically for formatting SD cards. This program has revived SD cards that I thought were out of commission. Hope it helps.
ok. So i bought a new micrsd HC. This one is a PNY card. I used Gparted to partition it. worked like a charm. then insterted into the phone and did the a2sd reinstall ( Root privleiges of course ) all works well now.
thanks!

For other people with this problem...
Rom manager - partition SD card - choose your partitions. It will reboot into recovery and try but fail to partition your card. Pull battery. Replace battery - hold volume down and power. Wait for it to try and find the libde. Img then press volume down and it will highlight recovery then press power. It will boot into recovery and finish partitioning your card.
I think that's how I got it to work. Sorry I didn't see this earlier and possibly save you some money.
Edit: I guess Ubuntu doesn't like sandisk. That's how I figured this way out.

I couldn't get Ubuntu to do anything with my sandisk sd until I first used windows to format it to fat32. After that I was able to use Ubuntu to make partitions/format.

If you have problems formatting an SD card, you should use this tool to basically completely reset the card: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
This is much better than using Windows or another program to format the card because this works at a lower level and is designed specifically for SD cards. This program can usually revive SD cards that appear to be dead (when in reality the partition table is just messed up).

How are you trying to connect the SD card? I assume via an SD card reader but if not then you need to try it with one of them.
*Added option "ClearSD MBR". which erase MBR, so card can be formatted via any program after WP7 boot ("200 Mb problem").

I don't think you will be able to access the contents of the SD but you can go on the partition tool you have (e.g. Easus, Panasonic SD formatter etc) and delete the partition as yz.hd said, then allocate the available space to Fat32. Alternatively, use icke's method
