How do i delete my sd card partition and the swap partition?
Go to recovery then in recovery go to mounts and storage then go to format sd ext also another is to unmount the sd card and then format but all your sd card data will go so I highly suggest you back it up.

Easiest for me is partitioning on a computer with cardreader. Here you can see what you are doing. But you need Linux. This can be a live-CD for example Knoppix.

Thats one way, 2nd method is use minitool partition in your laptop or computer, 3rd method if you want to format entire SD card to its original state is, go to settings, SD Card settings > unmount SD Card > format SD Card.

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?
As above, i partitioned my SD card in the past, and now im changing my SD card.
IS there a way to get all my apps from my old SD card to my new SD card?
Thanks!

i following this instruction while doing my transfer
--First make a nandroid backup of ur rom with old sdcard inserted.
--Then insert new sdcard and partition it .
--Then copy the clockworkmod folder on the root of old sdcard to the root of new sdcard.
--Then with new sdcard inserted go to recovery and restore the nandroid backup. That's all for restoring the sd-ext apps.
(Note: U can also use advanced backup of recent CWM recoveries to backup the sd-ext alone.)
Another way is install A2SD GUI from market and move all sd-ext apps to phone. Then partition new sdcard and move apps to sd-ext. This wont work if there are lot of apps.
And u can transfer the fat partition files from one card to another using windows pc. Doing so should also restore the .android_secure folder apps.

Remember you cant access your ext partition form windows( inless you enable support for linux partitions dome how. Dont know if some thing like that exist). So try working with linux to access all partitions, copy every thing, pattition your new sd then copy back contents of ext and fat, as it was in old card

Softwares like "linux-reader" can give u access to ext partitions on windows.
But I think u need to mount sd-ext from recovery. Since normal USB mounting as disk drive from android os will not mount sd-ext.

Hi there,
I formatted my sd card to 1GB SD-EXT. But now i wan't to revert back to to just FAT32 (no sd-ext). But i cant remove it trough CWM i only can make it smaller.
I do not have any way to mount my SD card then trough CWM.
How can i still remove the SD-ext? Is there a script for it or something like that?

Put the SD card into a digital camera and format it from there.
There is some partition software on here that'll do it too.
*NOTE: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA*

Guys help me please. I partition my sd card. few months ago. last night i formatted my SD card. after that. SD card can't mount. please help me. what to do ? also my computer can't read it please help me how to fix it . thanks in advanced.
first backup any data you have on your sd card
remove all partitions with minitool and create a new partition of fat32 and format it with minitool
next boot up your phone with the sd card in
goto
settings
storage
unmount sd card
erase/format sd card
now go into cwm - you sd card will now be mountable
for the 2nd partition create it in cwm
cant remember exactly where the option is from memory but its under something like partitions
just create a 2nd partition of 1024mb with 0 swap
you can then copy any backups back to sd card

if you are unable to read your sd card via a card reader on a pc (not via phone usb cable) in order to delete partitions and recreate them, its best you get a new sd card

My computer also once was not able to read my sd card but minitool partition wizard detected it.... What i did then was that i deleted all the partitions and created a new one with
Label--Android-SD
Type - Primary
File type -- Fat32
After i did this .. My phone and computer both read the sd card...
Hope this helps for u too..
Press thanx if it helps you

I think that's not the problem, i use a MP3 player with USB
If you plug your sdcard on linux-based using anything it should be /dev/sdc
Do a dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/[your user]/Desktop/sdcard.img
After that install WinImage http://www.winimage.com/
Open the img with winimage it will tell you where to connect,
choose first primary fat32 partition open menu -> extract all with subdirectories, :good:

Best way to recover files but for the sdcard i think it will be better to buy a new one
I flashed my mobile a few days ago. But after flashing stock rom My memory card isnt mounting in stock recovery. Help me plz.
copy all sd card contents to pc
If you have any 2nd partitions delete them first using mini tool - if not move onto next steps
boot phone normally
goto
settings
storage
unmount sd card
format/erase sd card
your card should now be mountable in recovery (you can then create a 2nd partition in cwm if you want - note this will format sd card again)
you can then copy everything back to sd card
