Hello everybody,
Does wm support partitions?
So can I split up my 8 gb sd card into two partitions of 4?
Or does wm not support this?
Thanks!
Hope you don't mind me asking, but what for ?
E.g.
Partition one:
Haret > Android
Partition two:
Multimedia stuff + wm
or
Partiton one:
Multimedia
Partition 2
Program files and stuff
There is no need as both Andriod and WM6.x can see Fat/Fat32, which I presume your SD card is formatted.
If you want to separate your media from any programs you want to install on the sd card just use a different folder.
Plugging your SD card into you TP2 is the same as plugging it into your desktop / laptop whatever the OS.
Would you partition a SD card that was plugged into your desktop ?
If you want to partition the SD, try it and let us know... however i think that it will appear as 2 storage cards in explorer.
I will give it a try
It is possible but not usable...
I also searched around on the internet and it works
But I am back at one sd card since I find folders easier than 2 storage cards.

I know exactly where you're comin' from, man. After I get a 16GB class 6 microSDHC, I intend to partition ~8.5GB as NTFS ('cause I'd like the the max capacity to hold a full DVD DL disk) to handle larger file transfers btwn desk/laptops. And, I'd still have a whoppin' ~7.5GB to be used by the tele as FAT32...'just haven't made that microSDHC purchase yet, but I'd imagine it to be plausible.

I remember some time ago on Aximsite or another older related site reading how to format NTFS and use a Compact Flash card on Windows Mobile. I did it on my Axim and Ipaq at the time, and kind of remember it working.

I know. However, if there're two partitions, NTFS @ ~8.5GB and FAT32 @ ~7.5GB, then I'd imagine that Windows would see the storage card as two drives, while Windows Mobile would see the 16GB, storage card as ~7.5GB. Anyone, please, do correct me if I'm wrong in my assumption.
This has made me wonder, too. Why does WM refer to "Storage Card 1" occasionally when inserting/unplugging memory cards...? It kinda implies that there is room for multiple cards at the same time...????

i partitioned my 16 gig hard drive and installed linksys on one partition so i can plug into my computer and dual boot from my phone...
i dont really see a reason to create multiple partitions to have the same function as folders (ie seperating media from doc, ext...)

You would not gain anything by formatting NTFS other than the ability to set NTFS permissions in Windows. A movie can be stored on a FAT/FAT32 partition with no ill affect on usability. Also, when you purchase any type of storage, the actual formatted size is usually smaller than the advertised size. So if you buy a 16GB card, you will most likely end up with around 15GB max of usable space. I would not plan on having 7.5GB of free space after creating a 8.5GB partition.

No, you'd also be able to support files larger than 2GB. And, I know it wouldn't be 7.5GB, that's why I'd said about (~). Prob more like 6.8GB, or so.

I know NTFS doesn't work on Windows Mobile. However, I would assume that if you were to make two partitions, one NTFS, and the other FAT32, the Windows Mobile device would show the FAT32 partition, while a Windows dsktp would show the microSDHC as two partitions, NTFS and FAT32. I've ordered a 16GB microSDHC Class 6, and I'll post my results after I receive, partition and format the card.
Okay. So've received my 16GB microSDHC Class 6, and have partitioned and formatted with Paragon Partition Manager Pro v9.0, and have...
Partition 1 - microSDHC N, 8.61GB NTFS
Partition 2 - microSDHC, 6.24GB FAT32
The device sees the FAT32 partition, as intended. Windows (Vista), however, shows only the 1st partition (NTFS) of the microSD, even when using the device in Disk Drive USB mode. Disk Management sees the FAT32 partition, but no matter what options I select, I'm met with
Code:
An unexpected error has occurred. Check the System Event Log for more information on the error...
At this point, I just need Windows to allow me to give the partition a drive letter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
in the start search bar type computer managment then go to storage/disk management select the disk and then right click and change letter.
thats supposed to let you change the letter i have to deal with this alot at work with all the network drives and my externals
hope this helps

I'd tried this believing that Windows only needed to assign a drive letter, but to no avail. :\
So I decided I needed more space so I went from my 4gb sdcard to 16gb. I copied the image from my 4gb then wrote that to my 16gb. Everything works fine but I do not have the extra space. I have about 12gb of unallocated space.
I read that I am suppose to "extend" the partition using easeus partition manager. I loaded up the program and it gave me no such choices. How exactly do I do that? Also, was I suppose to format the new 16gb card? I never did that. I just put the image on it. Any help would be appreciated.
it should allow you to select a partition to resize.
I think I am making some progress. I was able to format the 12gb portion now I have another portion that has 2.2gb unallocated. Can I do anything with that?
Think I got it
From the Mad Catz faqs..
What types and sizes of external memory I can use?
Any size external hard disk or USB memory stick is compatible, in either FAT32 or NTFS format. The microSD(tm) slot supports SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacity) cards and below, and the largest card currently available is 128GB. MOJO

Make sure your on the 202 or 205 firmware.
make sure you disk/partition is formated to NTSF (read only) or FAT32, I think it supports ext3, but I haven't tried.
I think it only shows the first partition on the disk, for more you need to set up android root files or use

Yes, im in on 205 and im rooted.. then, later ill check. Thank you.
Is it possible to get 128GB flash drive working as internal storage in marshmallow? I formatted my pny 128GB flashdrive to fat32 using diskpart and when I try to format it in nexus player to use as internal storage, it quits after around 5 mins saying that it couldn't format the drive. I currently have a 16gb driver as internal storage and it's running out of space. Also I'm using a USB hub with a otg cable if that helps. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I am using an old 250gb sata HDD via a hub with eithernet and it works. Esfilemanager will sometimes crash it requiring a hard reboot to reactivate it but do far so good.
Did you format it in Android so that you can use it as internal storage? I can plug it in as removable storage but can't use it as internal storage.
Make sure you partition as FAT 32 and Master Boot Record instead of GUID Partition or Apple Partition Mac, just to make sure. And remember that FAT 32 won't handle files larger than 4GB, so keep that in mind. If you have the need to use larger than 4GB files you can format the drive to NTFS on Mac using the Tuxera driver or any other third party NTFS driver; Android does read NTFS partitions.

I formatted it as fat 32 and MBR using partitionwizard and still having the same issue. Does anybody have any other suggestions that can fix this?
I formatted my 128gb usb stick to a NTFS files system in a windows machine and then as "internal" in the Nexus Player.
I tried with a 16gb flash drive and 1tb USB hard drive and was able to use any as internal storage. As a matter of fact, the 1tb drive had 3 partitions and the Nexus wiped them for or good and used the entire tera as internal storage.
Hi,
Same problem for me with a 64GB kingston flash drive ... The nexus player fails to format the key as an internal storage. If I try to format as a general USB storage it works, and my key become a 64GB external storage in FAT32 (but useless for me, I have to store big files > 4GB ...). So i want to use it as an internal storage.
Any ideas why the internal storage format option goes into error ?

I have exactly the same problem.
Perhaps it depends on the flash drive model ? Does people getting it working can share their flash drive model ? (I don't want to buy 50 flash drive before I can expand the internal storage ... )
For me, this flash drive doesn't work : Kingston DataTraveler Micro 3.1
Since the Shield TV Pro has a 500GB internal hard drive, is there any method available for formatting the storage on that drive to something that will allow file sizes greater than 4GB?
yes,I wonder too.Sounds like the file format is fat32.How to change it ??
maybe it could be reformatted
