I am not saying this is your case, but that happened to me once on a G1, on an 8GB "SanDisk" Class 4 card, (It was more like ChanDisk), and it so happened that the card was busted.
I suggest you format the card to Fat32 and try it normally on the phone, if that doesn't work, try deleting all partitions first then recreate partition and format to FAT32 again.
That doesn't work, go get another card.
The other thing to consider is the way that implementation of a2sd works. I believe it's such that the phone see's the cards ext partition as internal memory. I'd assume that it's worked, but if you ever run out of space you know that either a) it hasn't worked or b) you have a mirror of the entire market in your pocket
Hi guys !
I've a strange problem, i've bought an Kingston 16Gb SDHC card for my HD2 phone and i want to make a dual boot of WP7 and Android.
The problem is when i start my phone with the SD card it's boot in strange mod same as defaut configuration.
But when i plug my card after screen of magldr it's start normaly and in about i see the space of my SD card.
Other things when i want to start Android, in magldr service when i select ad sd dir it's will be back to home screen.
Magldr possibly have a bug with my card ? or it's my sd card it's wrong ?
I've magldr 1.13 and Xboxmod WP7 rom.
Thks for reply and sorry to my bad english.

Hi
If the sd-card is in device you must start windows phone 7 and make reset,
Settings,Info,Reset your device.
After that windows phone 7 write a 200 mb 16 bit partition on sd.
You can only see it in partition managers. There you can see although an unformatted partition. This is the windows 7 partition.
Follow this tutorial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944288
to install both operating system on your card .
That works for me and i have the 16 GB Kingston too.

Thanks to your reply.
But i use this tutorial for my dual boot.
that is my procedure :
- Going to setting, about and reset my phone
- Plug my SD Card to my device
- WP7 boot in english mod without tell me setting operation
To have 200Mb fat16 and the rest of SD card in unformated partion i will plug my SD card after Magldr boot screen.
If i plug after i've the setting operation what i request before and when i go to setting, about i see 15,...GB
When i plug my SD card to my computer i see 200Mb fat16 partition and unformatted partition.
If i plug my SD card before Magldr boot screen, when i go to setting about i see 15.14Mb total and 10Mb ok...

Edit :
I've also an 2Gb SD card (so little for dual boot) and i've no prblm for WP7 boot. SD card can be already plug to my HD2 device and i can setting my hd2 as i want.
In setting, about i see all my SD card
Total : 1.64Go
Dispo : 1.52Go

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 ?
