After a few questions I decided to write a TUT how to get a smaller wp7 partition.
Better: I tried to write a TUT
What you need: your sd card, a SECOND SD CARD with less storage, partition app for pc(I used EASEUS Partition Master 6.5.2 Home Edition), usb cardreader
1st step: flash wp7 with magldr when the SMALL sd card is in your phone or perform a hard reset with the smaller card when you have already flashed wp7.
2nd step: connect both sd cards to your pc and run the partition app.
Delete the filesystem of your BIGGER sd card.
3rd step: copy the wp7 partition from the small sd into the unallocated space of your big sd.
Now create a new partition(FAT32) of the rest unallocated space and convert from logical into primary partition. The drive letter must be set on your fat32 partition! Otherwise your pc will not find it. In front of your wp7 partition should be a “ * “.
I used 4gb and 16gb sd cards so I got 3.5gb wp7 partition and 11.5gb fat32 left on my 16gb card .
Sorry for my English
Hope it can help anyone of you guys and don’t forget to thank DFT for LEO70
Wouldn't it work to have 2 sd cards?... 1 for wp7 and 1 for android. Just make sure the phone is off when you switch them and make sure the wp7 card is in when you boot into wp7. I want to try that... have my 16gb for wp7 and my 32gb for android. Has anyone been able to boot android off sd with magldr yet?
EDIT: Oops, I actually posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry.
Hmmmm tried doing this but failed, I think it's due to my card reader only being able to read Micro SD and not Micro SDHC, tried doing it through magdlr usb was a no go, could change the partition but not wipe it, nice idea though, I'm sure many will find it helpful
If you find this useful please click Thanks
If your having trouble trying to Format your Micro SD after flashing to Windows Phone 7,
Example: You have a 16GB card; However it reports you only have 199MB
I have attached Panasonic SD Card Formatter -
You Must Choose Full Format
Supported Operating System:
(1) For SD/SDHC Cards
- Windows 7
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP
(2) For SDXC Card
- Windows 7
- Windows Vista (SP1 or later)
- Windows XP (SP2 or later) with the exFAT file system update (KB955704)
Information:
Current formatter is beta version.
Final version will be completed around the end of March.
I have read a number of articles about not being able to reuse a sd card after it was used by windows phone 7. Does that also applied to those of us HD2 owners who are running WP7?
I have a 16gb card that is only using 4gb for WP7 because I formatted the other 12gb as fat 32 for Android.
Is there a way I can unformat the 12gb so that WP7 can use it. Or can I use the card and start all over by reinstalling WP7 and let it partition the card to use all but 200mb of the 16gb card?
Here is one of the articles I read about the sd card not being swappable:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372732,00.asp
This is the HD2 Forum
Do a Full Format using the Utility I have attached.
Ok i downloaded the file and installed it. but when i choose format it tells me that the lock switch is on. Iv checked and rechecked but there is no lock switch on my sd card adapter.
Please help?
Hmm
I have the specific problem addressed (199Mb partition on a 16GB drive)
this program does not address it, it just allows me to reformat the 199Mb drive :-(
I will use fdisk or similar to resolve myself - but it doen't look as if this app "does what it says on the tin" ?
Try HP Low Level format tool, it always deleted my partitions on every device without problems
Hi
Thanks for this wonderfull tool, I downloaded this tool, installed in on Windows Vista, it formated my SD card wonderfully and even displayed the total space available, however now Windows refuses to recognise my SD card, and when I reconnected the SD card, neither your app nor Windows recognises the device.
Any suggestions.
thanks you just downloaded.

Windows Phone 7 uses the SDCard and the NAND memory together as internal storage, in a unique partition (like RAID for PCs, something similiar).
If you format your SD Card, you have to reset your phone.
You don't have to use any special tool, just use diskpart tool within Windows from command line (diskpart -> list disk -> select disk X -> select partition X -> delete -> select partition X -> delete -> create partition fs=ntfs -> DONE).
I have a 16 gb card, came with my HD2. I have run XBMod rom since it all came out months ago, no issues with the rom or the card.
When nodo came out, I tried another rom, phone started rebooting. I tried diskpart, cleaned the drive, recreated the partition as fat32. Let WP7 format, no help. Any ideas?
Successfully formatted my MicroSD
Just popped it in my Nikon D90 and it asked me do you wish to format. I said yes. Done in few seconds.
For others who see this, if you have used your card with WP7 mango you need a newer Nokia to format the card, as it will be encrypted, and Windows woun't recognize it!

This seems to be the only way to format the card once Mango is flashed. I have a 16GB card, but it didn't get any fat32 partitions, and it isn't recognized in any OS I try it on (Win7, Linux, OSX, Winmo 6.5, and now a new installation of WP7 doesn't see it either). If anyone finds another way, that would be awesome.

I am having the same issue.. can't format my 16GB after coming from Mango. Tried a bunch of software and no luck. Tried from different android phones with no luck. I guess the nokia d90 is one way to format the 16gb.
There has to be another way!

Could you be more specific ?
I'm trying to get my sdcard back after many failed attempts to reach Mango. Just want to go back to Android where everything is so much simpler...
How should I use the locker.cab exactly to get my 8gb sd card back ? I tried several times but always failed.
I have to push the cab while running WP7 wait for reboot then what ? I read that booting again in WP7 from there will lock it again. What should I do ??
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 ?
Please forgive me for reposting this but I cannot find the answer and it's driving me crazy.
I am running a dual boot HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 7 in NAND and Android on the SD card.
Windows Mobile 7 creates a dedicated and non-standard partition on the back half of the card.
Android is booting from a FAT-32 partition on the front of the card.
The partition table looks something like this for the 16GB Class 10 card I am using:
FAT-32 Partition from 0 to approx 7.3 GB set as primary.
Type 4 Partition from 7.3GB to the end of the card.
When running Android from a dedicated SD card the SD card can be found at /mnt/sdcard and everthing is hunky dorey.
However, when the Windows 7 partition is also on the card /mnt/sdcard is empty (there is nothing mounted there). All of the applications that look for an SD card cannot find it. I did find the entire contents of the SD card in /bootsdcard.
I tried creating a soft link between from /bootsdcard to /mnt/sdcard and that did not work.
Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Mike

That is exactly the procedure I followed to get the dual boot to work at all on 1 SD card. That is how I got the two partitions.
Android boots from the SD card and works (I am using it every day). Android just doesn't think that there is an SD card installed for A2SD or any other SD card function.
Should I reduce the size of the FAT-32 partition and create another FAT-32 or EXT partition?
Help please, this is driving me crazy.
You have to start all over. Just save your data on both OS's. You should have only 2 partitions in the end FAT 32 for android and Other for Window 7. Make sure that Window 7 partition has a larger partition size than android, otherwise you will have a lot of errors. Hope this helps you out. J
I've done that twice. Everything works in Windows 7 the only issue is for some reason Android doesn't see the SD card that it is booting from.
What SD card are you using? I am using 32g Sandisk Class2. Everything works perfect on mine with the HD2. Perhaps it's the SD Card?

The card works fine for Windows 7 with or without the Android FAT-32 partition.
If the FAT-32 partition is the only partition on the card then Android sees the card correctly.
With both partitions Android (MCCMBoxmax V8.0) boots and runs from the card just fine with the exception that Android doesn't see the SD card that is was booted from. However, the card is mounted on /bootsdcard.
I even tried splitting the FAT-32 partition into a smaller FAT-32 partition and an EXT2 partition. That also did not work.
I have tried the following cards:
Samsung 16 GB Class 2 - MMB3R16GUACA-GE (replacement supplied by HTC)
Patriot 16 GB class 10 - PSFGMCSDHD10-BC
And like I said, both OS's work except for this one android glitch.
same problem for me...
Same problem for me too!
Additional info:
If i browse back to /sdcard i can see everything on my memory card. But there is nothing on /mnt/sdcard
Any help suggestions are much appreciated...

I had exact same issue on my previous dual boot setup on various cards and various roms. Prior to this I had no problems setting up a dual boot with WP/Android.
Okay, so this is probably not helpful, since I am very limited in my understanding, but others out there chime in if you know... I may be wrong but it seems that back when we only had Windows Mobile 6.5 with the ability to run Android from the sd card, it seems that there was this same limitation. I think that it is the case, because I remember in January when the ability to run Android from NAND first was released, I was all excited because we would finally be able to use our SD cards in Android correctly. In summary, I think it is due to running Android from SD... it doesn't recognize the SD card as an sd card because it treats it like the internal memory. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that.

However, the SD card works properly if there isn't a Windows Mobile 7 partition even when booting from the SD card.
Something about the Windows partition is messing up with the mounting of the SD card. I just don't know enough to figure it out.
load up a partition program and make sure both partitions are set to primary.

I don't believe that the windows partition can be set to primary and still work.
However, I will try it. Thanks.
I got it working!!!
Here is what I now have on a 16 GB Class 10 SD Card
Partition # File System Capacity Type
1 FAT-32 3.91GB Primary (Android Boot Parition)
2 EXT-2 3.52GB Primary (Android A2SD partition)
3 Other 7.32GB Logical (Windows Mobile 7 partition)
Android boots and sees the SD card. Windows Mobile 7 boots and sees the SD card!!!!
For just two partitions make the WM7 partition primary.
Thanks thanks thanks....

Here is what I now have on a 16 GB Class 10 SD Card
Partition # File System Capacity Type
1 FAT-32 3.91GB Primary (Android Boot Parition)
2 EXT-2 3.52GB Primary (Android A2SD partition)
3 Other 7.32GB Logical (Windows Mobile 7 partition)
Android boots and sees the SD card. Windows Mobile 7 boots and sees the SD card!!!!
For just two partitions make the WM7 partition primary.
Thanks thanks thanks....

I installed WM7 on NAND, and Android 2.3.4 on SD Card. I followed the original steps as mentioned in this thread above, and have run into the same issue. That is, android is not able to recognize the SD Card. Now, my question is that can I just format (and delete) the first half of the sd card (the one that has android) .. and then create one Fat-32 and one ext-2 partition on that .. Will that work? I am trying to understand if I need to upset my windows installation at all ..
Also, I need to understand the role of Partition 1 and partition 2 above. I was of the understanding that the "Android" folder (ROM Files) should be loaded to the Fat32 partition. However, in this case it seems that the ROM files are kept in ext2 partition instead?
Thanks in advance, for your help
Can't get WP7 partitions created on reset
I have the US T-mobile HD2 loaded with WP7 7592 Green Mango with market place ROM and it runs fine on a 2GB Samsung card. I also have a class 4 Adata 32 GB card that I have a 14.4 GB FAT32 partition created for Android, and that runs without issue. I have tried a bunch of different ways to get it to dual boot but have had no success. I tried lots of ways including these:

The main issue is that when I have tried doing the phone reset on WP7 NAND it doesn't seem to create the necessary partitions on the 32 GB card any way I try, and I've tried loading WP7 ROM with the 32GB card in the phone. But whenever I boot up WP7 with the 32GB card in the phone it says: storage card not working, so I boot up with 2GB card in phone, select reset and right before I click the the last confirmation I switch the cards, but after going into Magldr on boot up and putting card into PC the new partitions haven't been created. I also tried splitting the last part of the drive into a 203 MB Fat 16 drive located just right of FAT32 partition and then creating unformatted partition with remaining space. I have 2 card readers and 2 2GB cards and the 32GB card. Please tell me what I should try next. Thanks so much!

if i have read this right, this is not a dual boot problem, but a "I can't get WP7 to work with my 32GB sd card" problem.
It may be your card is not compatible with WP7
32 GB WP7 Compatible Cards
I guess that's right, but I have looked through posts and not found any list of 32GB class 4 or higher cards that are compatible. It seems that a lot of people are recommending sandisk cards. If that is the brand I need to go with I can. Thanks for the correction.
I tried going into services to set the folder but when i do that it takes me back to the main MAGLDR menu
When i do boot AD SD, i get sd kernel open failed
I have 2 different rom folders on the root of my sd which i formatted

well i wanted wp7 on nand
Mate your SD card isn't formatted properly.
Put it in windows and then format it using FAT32 and the highest cluster size you can
Or download minitool partition magic or easeus partition manager and format your SD card as PRIMARY with FAT32 and highest cluster size.
PM me if u need more help
i did a task 29 and redid it and it worked
the sd card was fine prob just some internal issues
