You can try to format it with it in a card reader on the pc or open up terminal and try to format it that way.
I don't have an sd case or whatever it is you slide the sd into. And what is terminal? I rooted through thr 1 click method
Terminal is the app that allows you to enter lines of command. If you loaded a custom rom it should be on there. If not you can go to the market and get it.
Sorry for the bad spelling I'm posting through the phone. Will I be better off buying a bigger micro sd card. Also is it safe to assume thr danger spl was installed or will I need to redo that...and if not do I just install the rom like normal with update.zip?
What is the command line I type in? I may try it while running errands
Well if you have the factory sd card then I would recomend you getting a new one. They have 8 gig class 6 cards on newegg for $14.99. As far as partitioning your sd card thru terminal here is the steps. I just copied and pasted this.
Partition your SD Card with EXT3 and Fat32 and Enable auto apps2sd

OWould a micro sd from sams club work? I only ask cause I have to run in there for a few things. How will I know what speed it is? And after I format/buy a new one what do I do?? Just stick it in and go or do I have to install anything onto it? Sorry for all the questions but I'm new. And by speed. I mean class

Your cool, we all got to start somewhere. You really want to get a class 6 cause thats the fastest speed they have and if you run apps2sd or a hero rom you should be good to go. But if you have anything under you might experience a little lag. On the box and the card it will look like a little C with a number in it and whatever the number is, is what class the card is. If there is no number then most likely it is a class 2. And there's nothing wrong with getting a card at Sam's. Here's an example of a class 6.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211196
If you look real close you can see the c with the 6 in it, but on the card itself not the adapter. Once you get it you can format it and put it in and be good to go. If you have any problems let me know and I can walk you through. But to be honest if you get a new card partition it (fat32, ext3, and if you want linux-swap) and load a newer rom other than JF, I know you'll like that alot better.
Alright i got the new card...only a 4 gig but class 6. All i do now is follow the READ THIS etc. etc. guide for the hero rom to partition it and then download the rom and ill be good to go?
Or can i put the rom on there as update zip, then write the code in the console to partition my card, then wipe and run update.zip?

How to partition the SD card for CyanogenMod? make it into 2?
Here is a how to link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535232
yeah but the guide says to download a app for apps2sd and the thread for CyanogenMod says not too. Confused ;p
Read threw the whole thing, you will load apps2sd but then you will do a wipe and load cyangen again with apps2sd installed in the rom. The reason cyanogen says not to have apps2sd is because its already in the mod. So you will use it to partition then wipe it then reintall it with cyanogen
It helps to use the SEARCH
How to partition your SD card from console (This requires the cyanogen recovery 1.3.1)
Example for my 8GB card.
Reboot and enter recovery (home+power) then go to console. Enter the below pressing "enter" after each line.
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with. Mine was 8166 read below if yours is different)
rm 1 (if you had more than 1 partition you would want to rm them as well)
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7526
mkpartfs primary ext2 7526 8038
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8038 8166
quit
upgrade_fs
recovery
if your card isn't 8166 when you type print then you will need to modify those numbers to match your card size. You basically work back to figure out the totals. To figure it out, start with your cards total size. For example 8166 total Subtract 128 for swap (8038) minus 512 for ext (7526) the rest will go to fat32. Each partition starts where the other left off.

Ive got a rooted G1 and im running CyanongenMod 4.2.3.1 Ive got a 16gb class2 sd card and ive partitioned it it it with 14.5gb - Fat32 and 1gb ext2
Now i know thats not right and so i wanna fix it. What i really wanna do is :
a) Have all the partitions set at correct sizes
b) a swap partition
c) and an upgrade to ext3 or 4 whichever is better
As ive already got about 200 apps installed whats the best ways of backing them up and doing the above
Thanks in Advance
Thru console:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print (verify what size your card is)
rm 1
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 15500
mkpartfs primary ext2 15500 15852
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 15852 15948
quit
upgrade_fs
reboot recovery
May want to reformat to fresh fat32 beforehand but up to you.The sizes above can vary depending on what size your card is but that is a base for 16gb and includes a 96mb swap. Press enter after each line.
Tons of ways to backup...on your PC or I use Astro to do so...but any file manager works

I have that lovely little tutorial bookmarked, I use it almost everyday ( I flash new roms and stuff everyday, I just don't know what to settle on )
I just got a Transcend 8gb class 6 microsd card and am having trouble switching to it. When I enter recovery with the new card in and go to partition sd card it partitions much faster than usual. Then, once I go to upgrade ext 2 to ext 3 it says error, please run in console. When I got the card I formatted it using another phone by unmounting and pressing format sd card.

If you have a g1, go to recovery. Then go to console and type;
Code:
*Warning, Back up everything on your sdcard first!*
<enter>
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 3
rm 2
rm 1
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 (total sdcard size - swap size - ext size)
mkpartfs primary ext2 (end of fat 32) (total sdcard size - swap size)
mkapartfs primary linux-swap (end of ext2) (end of sdcard)
print (check if it worked)
quit
reboot recovery
Now go to recovery, choose USB Toggle and put a rom on your sdcard

I appreciate the help, but I'm just going to try reformatting the card and some more things first, I hate consoles even though I've used them quite a bit before.

This will repartition the card. You want to reformat. OHHHH, well if you have windows I would try to plug it in via sdcard reader (usb disconnects for some reason), and right click on the drive and choose format. I think in the phone you can also go to Settings>Sdcard & Phone Storage> Format to format the card
hey guys so i now have the coremicro class 6 card. I am wondering what the steps are to get my card up and running. I tryed to boot with the card in but it seemed to just stay blank screened after boot. Should i create an ext3 first thing? should i first copy the entire mountable section first?
ANY answers would be great.
Is it Partitioned?
just got it, its fresh, i guess ill create ext3 first then.
I dont know how big an sd card you have, your recovery or what you wanna do with it but Ima try to help..

For a 4g card divide the numbers in half
thats with a medium swap and i half gig ext3 for your apps
If you have Amon_Ra's latest recovery then all you have to do is partition the SD and USB toggle to add a rom of your choice then simply flash.
i partitioned with recovery, i dont need to reflash rom as it is already flashed. I created the partition as ext3. For what purposes would i need it to be ext4?
also is there an app with which i can back up my apps (ext3 partition) from my old memcard to this new one?
i installed the latest cyanogen update. phone is running perfectly but cant get apps2sd run. it is there is my applications menu but i cant select it
i partitioned my memory card the way written in the qoute?
