Make my sd card not formatted for winimage

Im trying to jailbreak my ps3 and my memory card is formatted with the autonooter image. How do i "undo" the image? I tried reformatting with windows but my guess is that its partitioned or something because it only shows 39.1 mb and its a 2 gig sdcard. Is there an undo or something in winimage lol? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone running Froyo off the SD Card actually use any leftover space on the SD?

I'm running Froyo off a 4GB SD card. I've followed all of the partitioning instructions and when it's in the nook the nook shows 2.8GB free space on the SD, but I can't seem to actually access it.
When I plug it into the computer via usb, only the 155mb boot partition mounts. When I put the SD card into a card reader on my computer, I can see all the partitions in disk manager but boot is the only one I can actually access.
I think I must be doing something wrong - if there was no benefit to using a larger SD card, nobody would be doing so.
Has anyone actually gotten the last "sd card" partition to mount to their computer?
If not, how can I access it to transfer music and pictures over?

It sounds like you are on Windows. Do you have EASEUS Partition Manager or something similar? What do you see? You should see the last partition, SDcard. To the right should be unused space. Right click on the SDcard partition and expand it to fill the rest of the card and apply the change. If you see something different, describe it here.
To answer your question, I have a 16GB card with Nookie Froyo and have put a ton of PDF files on it as well as some text files. I view them on my NC all the time.

I got the EASEUS parition manager, and expanded the SD card portion to the rest of the available space.
But I still can't access it! When I plug in the nook to the computer, and turn on USB storage, it mounts the boot drive! Which has the uImage and stuff. I don't understand how the hell to put anything on the SD portion of the sd card.

This is a limitation of Windows, it only mounts the first partition on a flash drive. I use Ubuntu installed via WUBI. It lets me dual boot Windows or Ubuntu. If you have your main drive partitioned so that data is separate, you can mount that partition in Ubuntu. In Ubuntu, when you insert the SDcard, all four partitions pop up. Blame Windows, and then get Ubuntu.

Short of installing ubuntu on my computer is there no program or something I can use to mount that sd partition?

[Q] Migrating Froyo install from 4GB uSDHC to 8GB uSDHC?

I have Nookie Froyo installed on a 4GB uSDHC and picked up a faster 8GB uSDHC. I'd like to migrate my "stable" install to the 8GB so that I can use the 4GB for experimental stuff such as Honeycomb (at least until that becomes stable enough to take over as primary). I'm not sure exactly how to do this, though.
It seems like I should be able to put the 4GB card in my PC and pull a raw image using WinImager, then write that to the 8GB card and use a partitioning tool to stretch the last partition out to fill the space, but that only seems to image the boot partition, not everything.
Any help is greatly appreciated, both how to copy the image to another card and how to resize the partitions to take advantage of the additional storage after doing so (if necessary).
I looked for other threads on this topic but couldn't find anything clear enough to follow, but feel free to point me at existing documentation if it already exists.

Clone thread. See general. Maybe two weeks ago..

Thanks, Sam. Okay, so I found the following thread that I assume is the one you mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943164
I still don't quite follow, though. So when I insert the 4GB Froyo SD card into my computer I only see the ~117MB root partition even in utilities like Partition Master. I can instead use your utility to explicitly mount partitions 1-4 when the NC itself is connected to the PC, and I can use Win32DiskImager to read images of those partitions, but I'm not sure how to write those to my 8GB SD card.
Someone else mentions "packing your boot, system, data and sdcard partitions into a .img file", but I'm not sure how to do that. Is that as simple as catting all four files into a single image? Doesn't seem like that would preserve the partition information, though...
Do I just reformat the 8GB SD card, create partitions of the respective sizes in Partition Master, and then write the individual partition images?
Like I said...still confused here. Thanks in advance for any additional info!

For what it's worth, I was able to do this quite easily by purchasing a new SD card reader in which EASEUS Partition Master could see all partitions on my SD card, then using its "Copy Disk" wizard to copy the entire 4GB SD card to the 8GB SD card, and finally resizing the last partition to fill the card. Worked like a charm!

[Q] How do I get all partitions of my sd card to show?

First and foremost, I apologize if this question has been asked/answered before. I am very new to both windows and android, and most likely this is just a stupid issue caused by my inexperience
I have the Custom Nookie Froyo ROM 0.6.8 written to my 2GB micro sd card and it works great in my nook and all. However, when I put the sd card in my computer, it only shows one partition (boot, 115mb) in the devices with removable storage section of my computer. There are supposed to be 4 partitions on the disk, and I was curious as to how I can find and access the other 3.

Windows can't see ext partitions, so try running a Linux live CD...

It works! Thank you very much

Download apk nookcolorums, it will allow you to mount any partition.

Even better

Nook Color USB Mass Storage utility is great the app comes with the Rom "Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 Image for SDcard" just make sure you go into the "Spare Parts" app and ensure that Compatibility mode is turned off, would not work for me until I did that.

I need some help with a SD card with CM7

Hi everyone. I have CM7 running off an 8GB Sandisk microsd card. Something I still cant figure out to do is how to access the remaining space on the card that is not being used by the boot partition. I can access it from the Nook, but if I take it out and try to access it from a PC I only have the boot partition which only gives me about 100mb of free space. When I plug the nook into my pc with the sdcard installed I only have access to the built in storage. Can anyone please tell me how to access the extra space or direct me to a walkthrough on how to do it. I searched but couldnt find it.
Thanks.

You can use easeus partition manager or minitools partition manager.... you need to set partition 4 to active to see it in the computer... but you MUST remember to make partition 1 active again to use it in nook....
The issue is that all 4 partitions are created as primary partitions... Window will only see the first active primary partition.

Thanks a lot. I will check out easeus partition manager. I appreciate your response.

I finally got around to trying what you mentioned, DizzyDen. I got the sd card switched to active, but still when I open it up in windows explorer I can only see the boot partition. In easeus it states that the partition will all the storage is active though. Any suggestions?

That is common and limitation of windows... it will only see the first active partition on a drive... the same as when you were using the 2 GB version.... you can change the active partition in easeus partition managare to partition 4... do what you want... but you HAVE to remember to change it back to partition 1 as active before you take it out and put it back in nook

Some how this really screwed up my computer booting up. I made 100% sure not to check any of my two desktop HDD's and just switched primary and active on the SD card. Easeus asked to reboot computer and then I eventually had to do a restore point to be able to boot windows afterwards...

How about you try this:
[ROM][CM7] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards. with updater
I know this will require you to reinstall CM7 but it Automatically adjusts for any sized card and allows easy updating without CWR or PC.

Seems they already did that... have cm7 running on SD... the problem they stated was not being able to access partition 4 on their computer.... btw... when you change active on SD in easeus don't reboot... you don't have to.

No... What he's talking is that he did something like install a 4gb image on a 8gb card and now he wants to expand the "sdcard"partition to fill the remaining space on the card. I had to do this when I had a Nookie Froyo 2gb image on my 4gb card but it was annoying. The only easy and smooth way to do it was to Boot to my Linux Install (Ubuntu 10.04) on my PC and Run GParted(The best Partition Manager under the Sun) Trying to do it in Windows was just miserable.
In the end I found it much easier to simply use the Method in my above post when I installed CM7 and it's been the best Expirience I've had Installing a Custom ROM. It's also been dirt simple to update CM7 as all I have to do is plug the SD into my PC and Copy the latest CM7 zip onto my boot partition and boot to recovery. It installs everything automatically. You can even do the same thing to install GApps. If I'm away from my PC but want to update I just download the Zip to my Nook and then use a Terminal App to mount Boot to a folder, and then simply copy the Zip over and Reboot into Recovery.
So I recommend just reinstalling CM7 to an SDcard with my above post for a less stressful experience.

I don't think that's the case. He said he was able to see the storage space from his Nook but not when putting the uSD card in his PC. This is the case because Windows is only able to see the first active partition on a drive; using something like Easeus he can temporarily switch the active partition to #4 to view the storage space.
Unless what you mean is increasing the size of the first partition by deleting all the other partitions as well and just having 1 large boot partition so that it's viewable when mounted on PC (or on stock if dual booting). I don't know the viability of that because I'm not sure how CM7 needs to have partitions structured other than that the 1st is always the boot and the 4th = storage. I may be wrong
*edit: Also, if you're trying to access the root level of files during USB storage mode (for, eg., dropping a new boot animation to /data/local) you won't be able to do it, need to use something like Root Explorer or ADB*

I think the OP needs to clarify what his/her problem is because no matter how I read the OP's post I interpret it one way but other people are interpreting it other ways. Until the OP clarifies, I don't think anybody can help since none of us are on the same page.
