[Q] Resize WP7 partition

I'm running WP7 and, from the the SD, Android.
Now, I'm using an 8Gb Sandisk SD, 4Gb used by the WP7 unknown file system and 4Gb by the Android FAT32 partition. Since I put a lot of stuff in WP7, it's getting closer to be full sooner and sooner.
Is it possible to resize the partition - let's say 6Gb WP7/2Gb Android - without losing data? Has anyone of you already tried doing it?
Thanks!

There are many reformatting and partitioning applications out there, but they wipe the data of your sd card. Since its on the sd card just backup(move) all the info onto your pc.
Hope this helps
If I helped please hit the thanks button!

i have tried an tried, but each time i inserted the sd card then wp7 didn't recognize it untill i hard reset the phone and wp7 destroys the partition info again and all of the sd card is assigned to wp7 again.

[Q] your phone does not have an sd card inserted

I get this message when I open the music player. Similar for the gallery too.
I have WP7 installed and am dual booting with Android 2.3 (Cope's build) with MagLdr. I had first installed WP7 with a 2GB sd card, then copied the partitions to an 8gb card, and installed Android in the expanded fat 32 partition. WP7 partition is the primary and Fat32 is logical.
The android boots fine, but I get this message when I open Music app. "your phone does not have an sd card inserted". I can browse the sd card using file explorer and even play mp3s from there. Just that the apps doesn't seem to know how to read it.
Any idea what is wrong?
ps: I searched the forum but could not find an answer.

The FAT32 partition needs to be primary also.

That worked. Both the partitions are marked "primary" now, and the apps are now able to read it. Thanks very much.

[Q] Android ICS Rom + SD Card

I started to play around with the sdrom today but when i try to download app/take a photo.
No sdcard is found. Do i need to set up a ext3orext4 on the sd card?? Would the rom just find the ext3orext4 dir?? Whats the best method

You just need to have your SD card partitioned for WP7 and Android. Since the ROM is running off the SD card, I'd assume it should regconize it right away. Try a reboot if you haven't, or mounting SD card in settings if it shows it as being there, but not mounted [ I doubt it, but it's worth looking at].

Its strange, in storage under SD CARD it says 'insert an SD card for mounting'
WHEN, its got to be inserted, as the ROM is running on the SD Card partition. It shows over a 1GB of space in internal storage? Think i will try a fresh install of the Android ROM. WP7 is running fine.

Going to install a cwm partition which matches rom, i think this will fix the issue.

I don't know why you are getting issues with photos and stuff, but your SD ROM is running fine. Android SD cannot mount the SD card as Android is running off the SD card. The 1gb internal storage is the data.img file in the 'Android' folder which is read as your internal storage by Android. I wouldn't mess around with CWM, it won't solve anything for SD Android and may result in you deleting WP7 if I'm not mistaken (but if you already have CWM installed then I am very much mistaken)

Not sure if it helps, but did you set both WP7 and Fat32 partitions as "Primary" when you set up the card? (use minitool partition magic)

I have a problem with SD Android installing?

Hi;
I use WP7 on my HTC HD2.
Also I use SD Android and i start android from magldr.
When i want to install SD android on my "HP 16 GB Class 10 micro SD card" , i have installing problem.
While installing it freezes. I can't finish installing.
I don't see main screen.
But when i install same android rom on 2 GB micro SD card , there isn't any installing problem.
It runs perfectly.
Why does this problem occur on 16 GB Class 10 HP micro SD card?
Thanks a lot...

first of all this should be in the Q&A section.
is your SD card formatted to run dual boot? was the 2nd partition for Android set to Primary? also you don't install SD ROM, you just copy it to your SD & set magldr to run AD from SD

If you are dual booting you should have two partions.The android partions should be fat32 32kb cluster size and both partions should be set to primary.

[Q] micro sd partially mounted

Hi guys, i got a problem mounting the microsd on my hd2.
I've seen that the problem is in every rom.
Well.. every android rom tested seem to no recognize the sd... only a Gb of internal storage is founded... but if i open a file manager i can see the sd folder and navigate inside it...
I got an hd2 with android on sd and wp7 nand... and i already tested doing privilege fix... but nothing change.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

You have WP7, which uses part of your SD card as internal storage. Mount it on a computer and use a partition tool. Do you see the rest of the SD card?

OK not to cause confusion here but I think both of the above are slightly wrong. The reason you get 1GB of 'internal' storage on SD ROMs in general is because it uses a file called a data.img which is read by Android as internal storage. You will be able to use a file manager to access the SD card and you'll see all of the music etc which is on your SD card but if you try moving an app to your SD it won't work anymore.
However, I haven't used SD Android in a long time so perhaps wis or hengsheng are right

^He is correct. Internal storage is data.img, and it's usually set to 1GB of size. Your SD card has nothing to do with your internal storage when talking about SD-Android. However, I think you can download another one with a larger size, or just set it to a larger size in the boot up script.
(Either way, make a backup, because I don't think you can "enlarge" a data.img neither can you migrate apps/data from one to another.)
