Format internal sd from ADB linux captivate

i can push files to the devices but i cant pull from the internal sd so i wanted to know how to format the internal sd

[bump]
Would like to know this too.

This might seem pretty basic, and it's really obvious to me at least...
Wouldn't you plug the phone in via usb and select mount usb, and then just use fdisk/mkfs/fsck?
You wouldn't even need to use adb for that

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] Nook Color Honeycomb usb SD card mount?

Hi all,
I have installed Honeycomb on Nook Color working like a charm. Added Market to it using adb skd push through usb cable. When running stock nook I could plug usb cable to computer and internal drive would mount and I could copy files to nook from computer.
Now running honeycomb on SD card when I connect the use the drives show up on compture but they do not mount. Again I was able to connect and push files from computer to nook via adb commands. On my samsung captivate I was having similar problem until I figure out that there was a message in status bar that I would pull down click on and would mount SD cards. Don't seem to have that in honeycomb when connecting usb to computer.
Is there a way that can mount sd card open up in windows explorer and drag and drop files from compture to nook running honeycomb? The android's USB connected notification seems to missing on honeycomb on nookcolor
Any Ideas
Thanks
Greg

I think it's not mounting because you're running from the SDcard. If the card is in use by the system I'm pretty sure android won't let it mount but I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with honeycomb. You could always try pushing the files with adb.
Code:
adb push *filename*

Ok thanks, I will give it a try in mean time. I must be missing something because on phone it i mount internal and external drive. I will have to brush up on the adb command line.

Nook Color USB Mass Storage utility - Mount any partition to your PC
There was a post form samuelhalff in which he developed a NookColorUMS-0.3b.apk that mounts drive. so I will try tonight but in mean time I am not sure of cli adb commands that I should use. where do I push it to on the nook, I am running honeycomb from SD cards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456

I'm running HC from the SD card, and the best way to mount drives is using samuelhalff's mounting utility (since the SD card is partitioned and it supports this!). I believe you must have Superuser available to use it, so below are the links you need to both the app/instructions for the app and for gaining superuser on HC.

I've got this working, and can confirm it works like a champ!

Sweeet will give it a try, I read something that sound was not working on HC but the little I have played around with it appears that I am getting some sound. I want to load a mp4 on it see how it plays.
Thanks again

This application was quite easy to use.
1. Plug USB in Nook and connect to PC
2. Open NookColorUMS.
3. Select "Mount Media"
4. Nook Pops up on PC.

Thanks a lot
This app finally made my nook into a full android tablet.

[Q] How-to Mount SD Card 4th Partition?

I'm attempting to follow the directions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998861 to create a customized bootable SD image. One of the steps involves copying some files to the 4th partition of the SD card.
I've attempted to use the NookColorUMS utility (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456) without success. I was able to download, install, and launch the application. My understanding is that I need to connect the USB cable to the NC and my PC and then choose to mount the 4th partition in the UMS application.. however, as soon as the NC is connected to the PC, I can no longer interact with the NC (it displays the message about transferring files between the devices) until I unplug the USB cable again.
Apparently, the other option is to use the ADB utility, but I don't really understand how that works.. do I have to download the Android SDK to my PC first? If so, I prefer the method above, but I have not had any luck.. thanks in advance.

I used VirtualBox-4.0.4-70112-Win with Ubuntu 10.0 installed, this lets me see all the partitions if using a usb reader.

Thanks, I'm trying to use this utility if I can, though. Installing a virtualization suite and then Linux on top of it just to be able to see a partition on an SD card is more work than necessary, in my opinion..

I too use NOkk Color UMS....
When I connect to nook, i get the usb storage notification...I do not enable usb storage...
Then...I open nookcolor ums and am able to mount the 4th sd card partition...
Do u turn on the usb storage mode?

I'm honestly not sure why I couldn't get it to work.. I ended up using another method to create the SD image that only has one partition on it, so I was able to copy files to the card without any additional utilities.

I found this to be the simplest and easiest - just drag and drop:

How do I put files onto my sd card that has been made bootable?

I have installed bootable cm7 on my 8gb sd card. It only shows the first partition when I connect it to my computer. I tried connecting my nook color to my computer in both cm7 and stock firmware, but the card isn't readable in either case. In fact when I connected using cm7 it didn't connect at all.
I am trying to put some pictures onto the sd card, but can only get them on the first partition, is there a way to get them on the larger partition?

Enable USB mass storage for the use since it's the only way.
Boot CM7 up, connect NC to PC, look at the NC's notification area, usb icon should be displayed, tap to open then enable USB mass storage.

There is a program developed here on XDA that can mount your micro SD installed CM7 media data partition that you see on your NC but normally can't see when connected to your PC. Normally the pc sees the first partition only (boot). This program will let you also mount your 4th partition on the sd card so that you can add your media files there. Install the program, tell it to mount your 4th partition, and connect your usb cable to the pc. It will show up as a drive letter. You can download the program here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11322639
This is also very useful for those users with ics preview on their micro SD card.

The app had been integrated into CM7 builds so long time ago, no need to install it separately.

I used it on the new ics preview build. It's the first time I had used an SD install, and the usb mount is broken so far so this little app was great.

I am running nightly from 20121227 on a sd card(2GB) on my nook color. Everything is fine except that when I connect it to my pc, I see the nook as MTP device on my pc. I see the SD card with a storage of 180MB only. the nook internal card shows up as full. I do not see the usb in the notification area of the nook. I want to be able to add music/documents to my sd card so I can access them from my nook(when I boot it from sd card).
Thanks

Go to Settings-Storage select 3 dot menu in upper right corner and select Mass Storage. You will then be able to see the nook USB notification.
The nook will show up as a drive on your computer. Use Clockwork Mod Recovery to partition SD card to reclaim space, but with 2gb not much remains for user media (cm10~700mb, ram~512mb, etc).

Tried that. Now when I connect to my PC, I see only one FAT32 partition(boot) and it shows only 180MB size. I do not see any other partition. Do I need to use a larger size card (>2GB) to see the additional partitions.

You may need a higher capacity card if you plan on adding lots of music, books, comics or movies.

See my post above with the link. In cm7 there is a setting to use emmc as sd.

For easy access use a wifi connecting app like WiFi File Explorer Pro; see whole card, quick UL & DL of files.

You can also use debugging over network settings in the ROM and use adb...
The first time you do it do this in a command or terminal window:
adb shell busybox mkdir /sdcard/boot
Then every time you use it to transfer files to the boot partition for flashing:
adb shell busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push ROMFILENAME /sdcard/boot/DESIREDROMFILENAMEONDEVICE
If you are wanting to transfer files to the "sdcard" partition of the card:
adb push FILE(s) /sdcard/DESTINATIONFOLDER/

Followed those instructions. Still I see only the main partition in windows explorer. Under disk management I see 4 partitions. In my tablet, I see the 180MB partition. Also I see another with .93GB showing up as internal storage. The emmc shows up as another internal storage. Not sure how to get files into it. I am attaching screen shots.

You are only going to see "Windows"file systems (partitions) in Explorer (FAT, NTFS, etc). The other partitions are Linux type partitions (ext, etc...).. Explorer won't see them. Thus the need for ADB.
Personally I sometimes find it easier to place files in Dropbox and then just deal with them on the device rather than through the cable. You will need the Dropbox app on your NC.. available in Play store.

Since CM ROMs have debugging over network support... there's no need for the cable when adb'ing into the device.
