[Q] How can I delete swap partitions on the SD card?

I created some partitions for the Spartacus Kernel awhile back. I'd like to remove them now. I've Odined back to a stock ROM but they are still there.

Not sure but maybe backup everything you want from your sd card to your computer and then format your sd card.

I tried formatting the SD card and that did not work. Thank you though.
Any other ideas?

Any help please?

There is free partition manager software available online that you can download to your PC to manage any partitions on your SD card (and PC hard drive as an added bonus).

i think your SD card is corrupt when flash cyanogen
your phone wont detect your sd card,
format it on your computer through card reader

My phone does detect the SD card as all my files show up but its just the memory which has dissapeared.

format your micro SD card in another phone or one of the market apps or try a did card. Fat 32

Tried that, no luck. Anything else?

troubleshoot
Use a different microSD card - does issue still happen? If so, it's probably not the MicroSD card. If not - problem solved, the card is the issue.

Does the other sd have to be inserted permanently or can it just be inserted for flashing only?
also if I format the sd card on CWM is it formating the internal card? or the external card???

You can use it for flashing a rom image only, no need to keep it in the system after applying a update/rom to the a500.

You can also flash a rom from USB key if you have one (FAT32 is a must).

Are you using the mount option in CWM? If so, that's for mounting the SD card on to a connected PC as a disk drive...
If not, and no external SD cards are working for you, you can also use a USB memory stick as mentioned above.

I used another sd card all is well now, last question didnt get an answer for,
In CWM does formating sd card mean formating external or internal sd?

How would I go about using a bigger memory card?

I want to upgrade to a bigger memory card, but most of my games and apps are installed to the memory card. Would I just plug in up to my computer and copy all the folders over? Or move the apps to my phone, switch cards and then move them to the new memory card?
and would I still keep all my app settings and game save files?

Just copy one card to the next it will work just the same

Yup, just done this - replaced the 8GB card that came with my handset with a 32GB one.....plugged both cards into my PC and copied all contents from 8GB to 32GB then chucked it in the phone - simples

Make sure you copy hidden folders too, and android.secure, thats the folder with apps you've moved to SD card

what about if i have sd card partition? i have 16gb and planning to upgrade to 32.. but i have 1gb partition because of link2sd, but my pc cannot detect that partition, what would i do?

Ude a position manager e.g. easeus to copy hidden partitions

"Your phone does not have SD card"

"Insert SD card"
I get this error when I try to move apps to sd with apps2sd. Obviously, I have an sd card, which I use regularly.
How to fix? (wendyallisson where are you when I need you!)
Thanks,
Jason

Maybe your sd card needs formatting. Have had that problem before on another phone in the past.

Thats because u have Phone memory (1GB i guess) and the inbuilt SD Storage 11.6 gb or so
and u need to PUT in an External SD card so that u can move the apps
