I was wondering how is it possible to transfer my existing data from my slow class 2 card to a much faster class 10 card. The actual card is 16GB in size, and the new one should be only 2 GB in size. I have 1 GB ext4 partition and the remaining space is FAT32. The new card should have 1 GB ext 4 and 1 GB FAT32. I know I can format my card in CWM, but is there any way I can move the data and everything to work as before? How can i read EXT4 on Windows and write the data on the new card? Should I use same partition serial numbers when formatting?
If o do a nandroid backup of EXT4, should it restore successfuly on the new microsd?
Solved, made a nandroid backup of sd-ext, swaped cards, copied all from the old fat32 to the new partition, and then used avanced restore for sd-ext.
have you get problem unmount / mount sd card with cm7?, just try it unmount your sd card, and get it out then mount again, and your phone got freezzz

I just bought a new 4 gig class 4 card just wondering do i have to re flash the cm rom back on my phone after switching cards?
Yes, unless you've copied the data on your ext partition to the new card.
You shouldn't have to reflash the rom. CM rom's don't move /system/app/ to SD last time I used one. They will boot fine even without an SD in the phone. You will have to format the new SD to add partitions, but I'm sure you figured as much. The only thing you should have to do other than that is copy your apps to the ext partition on the new card. Okay well you will also have to make the folders for app, app-private, dalvik-cache, etc on the ext partition.
Hey guys, currently i'm using a 1gb sd card with cyan rom installed to my htc dream phone.
If I want to change to a higher capacity sd card, how should i go about doing it? In terms of the applications and stuffs?
Do you have your sdcard partitioned in any way? if its only a fat32 formatted card, you can simply format the new one fat32 and copy all files from the old card to the new. If you have it partitioned, match the smaller partitions on the new card (match sizes of ext 2/3/3 and linux swap if you have one and copy files accordingly) and copy old fat32 stored files onto new one (the fat32 partition size difference should not effect anything). I've tried this myself a few months back upgrading from a 4gb class 4 to an 8gb class 6 and I had no issues. Just be sure both cards were partitioned with the same program if you are using linux [I run Ubuntu], otherwise you may run into admin permission problems
Mine is formatted in the way in this site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32B_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
So how should I go about doing it?
im currently buy a 16gb Class10 MicroSD for replacing my 8gb Class2 card, i have a motorola milestone, mi nandroid not have the function to backup ext partition, how i clone my old card to migrate all data and partitions to new card?
I tried to read the information from the ext2 partition with a windows driver without success.
The memory card has 3 partitions, one ext2 (i supposed) bootloader 38mb long, second partition 1,47gb ext2, and last 5,6gb fat32.
The new 16gb card, partitioned in 250mb ext2, 1,46gb ext2 , and 13,7gb aprox. Fat32.
Tried to copy only the info from the fat32 of 8gb card to the fat32 from the 16gb card, and mi apps moved with app2sd dont show in the phone, i suppose the problem is i not copy the ext2 partition from the 8gb card to the new one.
Exist some method like the ancient norton ghost to clone the both cards?
Sorry my bad inglish
Hi
I partition my SD card in nAa-11 recovery (256 SWAP and 768 EXT, 7 GB free), and now I can't restore it to his original condition - 8GB. Windows didn't see 8GB, just 7GB and I can format it, but it always shows 7GB as the total available space.
Any ideas, guys? I have to remount dis partitions in terminal emulator, or what?
You need to use a Partition Tool that supports Linux partitions, like GParted.
EDIT: A more easy way is repartitioning your SD from Recovery, setting SWAP and EXT to 0.
Use SDFormatter V3.1 and make sure you select format size adjustment ON option. A quick format should be ok.

use your android fone to format sd card.. in settings go to sd card and phone storage settings then unmount your sd card and then format it.. after formatting mount it back and now your partiotion was gone you can now see your 8 gb storage

try to mount your sdcard to your computer using a card reader, then re-format with GParted (if you're using Linux) or Mini Tool Partition Wizard (if you're using Windows)
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but:
I partitioned my memory card into 2 so I could install apps to sd card using Link2sd. The first partition where all the data was being saved got corrupted and had to be formated. In the process I have lost all the data that came on it originally. I have tried using the Android File Recovery, it does recovers all the files, but the directory structure is lost.
Is there any way I could get the data back that was there originally?
The partitions on card are in Fat32 format.
I partitoned my 8gb sd card with mini partition tool
6.xx...gb as primary fat32 and 800mb as ext4 primary
now after using it for some time..now i wanted to do a fresh repartitioning
so i formatted the sd card using cwm recovery...
Now I inserted my sd card into the laptop sd card slot..(using adpater)
Now the mini partition tool only recognizes 6.5GB as primary fat32 but its not showing any 800 MB ext4 partition
I tried deleting fat32..i thought may b it vl now show up ext4..but nothing jus 6.XX GB unallocated
but i want whole 7.XXGB unallocated so that i can repartition everything again
So wat do i do to get my the whole 7.xx GB memory back??

Using mini partition tool, delete both the partitions and format it to fat32
