use Task29 to format phone NAND memory (but this is for PC, not MAC)... look install tutorial in my signature
but how you describe i dont see problem.. phone dont have 16GB main (NAND memory).. WP7 use SDcard as main memory, WM6.5 not....
if you want format SDcard in MAC, pull out SD from phone and try this https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/SDFormatter_0.91.pkg
in option select "format size adjustment" and format card

[Q] No free space?!

Hi,
i have a problem, i edit registry to have access to my phone from windows explorer but when i connect phone via usb i dont have free space to put there things ;x i can explore everything but it shows me "0 from 1,5 gb space" ;/ what i shoul do ?
thanks for all replays :]
I donĀ“t have that problem... how much disk space is available in Zune?
Maybe the card is full?
In my case, with an 8GB card, it says 5 from 6.65GB are available, in Zune it says 4.74GB available (because some space is reserved), 1.92GB used.
Means, the available space seems correct, but no idea where the other difference is coming from...
I have, sort of, the same problem only with no SD card inserted...
Zune tells me there's no available disk space left and i've used 54mb?!
I have a HTC HD2 (duh) with WP7 on the NAND withoud a SD card inserted...
mee too same problem 8 gb sd card when i connect phone via usb i dont have free space to put there things .....nedd help

Is your SD installed properly into your HD2? thought I had the same problem, but after re-inserting my SD all was well. Could be that WP7 is in a boot loop, than disable SD, restart, go to about and reset device. than hold MAGLDR and insert SD...

[Q] I want my sd full... 200MB HELP !!!!!!!!!

Hi guys I have a problem installing WP7 and my SD card ends with 200mb of 8 GB
First: I read a lot of posts about 200mb , about fix sd card, about this issue, but is not clear for me. So I looking for people can help me , not to bother me and say me google or search it. This people don't have nothing to do than spend time writing useless words.
I have an HTC HD2, every time I install a WP7 ROM after the first windows boot/ start , windows let my SD card of 8GB in 200mb, lot of people know that.
I try, format and partition the sd card after and before installation.
Windows format the SD after the first set up, and after that I try format or partition the SD again, but not work.
1 st question: I can read with windows 7 the files in the SD card ...? if I save some music or data.??? May be an aplication or something can read / write the SD.
If the first question is "yes" ... I find tutorials with how to format the sd card to use android, but I don't want use android , I want only WP7 and leave my memory with the full size, and can read / write files, like music , word , excel,etc. files.
Trying to do that I flash the WP7 like 6 times today...
I want, can use my SD Card Billy G !!!!!! LOL
Thanks guys for any advice or solution can give me.
Have you tried to format your SD card with a digicam? First I saw also the 200MB on the card in the digicam, when I formated it with the cam I saw the whole memory of 8 or 16GB.
Regards, Olli2.
format the card using a digital camera...thats the fastest way to do it....
No, I do not think you guys understand what he is saying. I think he wants to format once WP7 is installed and continue using WP7. WP7 does not support hot swapping cards. Once installed and formatted, it cannot be messed with if you want to continue to use WP7.
I can format the card
Thanks guys ....
I can format the card after I install the windows 7 with the boot menu of Magldr , but when I start the phone again windows tell me the Memory card can't be read, do a hard reset or change the memory, for a compilant one and force me to turn off.
I try differents ways, format the memory card to one partition of 200mb and the other partition with the rest of the unformated card, I try format to one big partition, I do the hard reset with the volume butoms , and start my phone and the same problem.Format to FAT 32.
I don't have a camera with this micro SD card..., you traying to tell me the windows 7 use a different file system than FAT32? BEcouse the 200MB partition is FAT16.
1)What happends if I install windows with no SD card??? and at the end of all the first windows set up( means widnows format my SD card to 200 mb, I install the SD card full size in the slot.? could be work?
2)But somebody can make work windows 7 ( only no dual boot) with a full size SD card( 8gb 16gb) , and can read/write/play music,videos or text files from the SD card...? or windows don't let you use the SDcard, or may be another aplication can on the marketplace, can do it.?
Thanks for the help...
That's all very strange to me. Every time I installed a WP7 ROM my issue was trying to GET the 200MB partition. (I dual boot android/WP7). What I suggest is to format your SD card, and make it one big UNFORMATTED partition. For example, if you use MiniTool Partition Wizard (i use that) make sure it's unformatted (a green square) as opposed to unallocated (grey square). Then when you flash WP7 it should have all of your storage.
You need to have your SD card in there when flashing the ROM. If not, and you try and insert the card afterwards, it won't recognize it.

See my answer above.....What you are trying to do cannot be done because WP7 does not support removable storage.
Also, you must use Zune software to alter the size of storage available to windows for mass storage device.
I don't get what's the problem... Let's better make some things clear:
When you install for the first time WP7 on HD2, the system will format your SD card, it doesn't really matter what kind of partitions you had earlier, everything is going to be wiped out.
WP7 will make 2 partitions on your SD:
1. [~200MB] FAT16
2. [Rest of the space] Unformatted
That's the way it should be. The partitions aren't visible under Windows, with some registry hacks in Windows 7, the card gets mounted as a media player, where you can throw the music or pictures.
After installing WP7 on your phone, go to Settings->About and check the line Total Storage, if you say you have a 8GB card, then there should be available about 6.5-7GB ...
Of course, all these things are in the most ideal case, when your SD card is compatible with WP7..
In case you want to get back to Android and your card is not recognized normally, connect your card to PC through a card reader (or MGLDR -> USB MassStorage) and format it through SDFormatter (Freeware), turning ON the FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT under Options..
After couple of months trying to make WP7 to work on my HD2 EU, i finally made it, had all kind of troubles with different cards.
1. SanDisk 2GB Class2 (Bundled with HD2) - could install WP7, card was recognized, after one day of using and installing several apps the system stars to crash, random reboots each 20 minutes or so.
2. Kingston 8GB Class4 (Bought 2 weeks ago) - WP7 installs but can't get over startup configuration, it stucks, rebootings and Hard Resets won't help (tried a bunch of different ROMs)
3. SanDisk 8GB Class4 (Bought 4 days ago) - WP7 installed perfectly, no rebootings and everything works till now, some bugs are showing up, but most probabil it's just Software/ROM related stuff..
nickriley thanks for all the info and explain to me this issue.
I have a Sandisk 8GB, and HD2 EU too, can you tell me the registry hack I need to do on the phone to can use the unformated like a media storage like you say...
"The partitions aren't visible under Windows, with some registry hacks in Windows 7, the card gets mounted as a media player, where you can throw the music or pictures.
"
Thanks a lot !!!!!!
No problems.
I couldn't find the guide on XDA forums, and as i'm a new user here i just found out that i'm not allowed to post external links Check your inbox..
Used the device in this way just a couple of times, as i'm using WP7 as main OS only during the last 3 days, but it worked, can copy from device and to device also..
Is there's a way to increase the FAT (200MB) partition ?

SD card unavailable

hi,
i have htc h2 with android platform, last night i install win7 and my SD card 8GB also inside the mobile, after installation finish i cant see any option abt memory in win7 mobile also when i remove mem card my mobile switch offed and my android OS totally gone i can't send d receive any files via bluetooth
Now i want dual operating system and memory card must be work in win7 and android i have two 8Gb cards.
Any suggestion would me great appreciat
On win7 -settings -about should show memory
When you install win7 on any sd card, this will encrpyt the sd card, so it will not be readable unless you recover it using, for example a nokia device there is a thread on this forum listing all the devices that can recover sd card..
Your android oS will be not be available because Win7 will be installed as Nand (over android on the phone) but for dual boot android must run from sd card
What you need to do
Maybe use the same sd card or different sd card
Install win7 - when successfull
Install dev_lock cab by cab sender
Install partition_cab (less than 8gb) and reset your phone from about
Turn on storage lock..turn phone off
Put sd card in sd adapter and transfer android sd rom onto it
Go through the magdlr options( on this forum)
Dual boot should be set up
Hi, thanks for your reply.I'm not comfort with windows 7 because some features very annoying, bluetooth nt working and when i press green button to atten are dial call camera opening always its really very silly, i need to install only android what i hav to do for installing android and my SD card showing only 200mb in pc i nt format yet if i format i cant use my mobile. plz slove my problem
you have to recover your sd card first so if you can, reformat using nokia devices or use the unlock cab followed by partition cab then easeus mini tool to fully reformat then install android through magdlr

Do you still have WP7 flashed on the NAND? Absolute worst case scenario, start at the beginning. Reflash Windows Mobile 6.5, then Magldr, then Android ROM for NAND.
Am I reading this right that you're booting Android from your SD card?
win7 already i flash witn android nand. No its not booting from SD. it booting from Nand.
I guess my next question is why would you want to put photos and music on the NAND? The HD2 only has 1GB. Wouldn't those files be better suited for the SD card?

[q] internal memory low after installing tango

Without an SD card in your phone your memory problems are not over. You'll realize that once you start installing apps in ICS.

Buy an sdcard and boot to wp7 and reset the phone in settings and while its in magdlr put the sdcard and it will be formated and used with wp7. Micro SDcards are not that expensive, I bought a 16 gb for 20 bucks and saw the 8 gb for 12.
How to do that
