[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).

Cannot flash rom. Why??????

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?

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?

Use partition tool mini software or else. Check you sd card,whether you ext gone or not. But fat32 is not kind of partition dude.

maybe you configured swap partition & ur sdcard is already wear out....
Sounds like you didnt partition you sd card yet buddy?. make sure you sd card "Fat32" format. how many GB you sd card mate? if you go to my computer, your sd card a still the same size?? if yes,thats mean no partition yet.
And imma fully recommend, do not use CWM/USB port to partition your sd card.
Take out Sd card From Phone and Use SD Card Reader.
P/s : go to youtube.com And Search how to partition SD Card Ext3,ext2,ext4 Tutorial.

any help would be really appriciated i just rooted, install cwm from thor, open pudlic and none will read the sd card any ideas why..it reads when tablet is on after i reboot into recovery boom no more sd card it said e cant mount

A common problem. CWM seems to be quite sensitive to cards. You can either try reformatting it in a PC or other Android device, or try a different card.
thanks, i reformated it to ntfs, then fat32 to no luck..i see it fine in my skyrocket...ill try reformatting again
reformatted back to fat32 now is working..thanks

[HELP]Can't read SD Card after formating

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
