hi everyone! I'm currently running cm7 on sd card, but my problem is, my sd card isn't recognized by my pc. when i plug the cable in, the pc (windows 7 os) only recognizes the internal memory. Do you have any idea why it does this? Does it have anything to do with my brother doing the cm7 install in a mac?
Another thing, can we update the version of cm7 even if it's on the sd card? if so, how?
thanks!
Windows doesn't see your microsd card because it can not recognize the file system.
Even Paragon Partition Manager and Easeus Partition Manager don't recognize the file system. However if you have Linux installed (ubuntu, Mandrova) you should be able to see whats on the card. And you should be able to resize partitions using Gparted.

I have a Transcend 8gb Class 6 microSDcard.
I turned the phone off to put the card in a card reader to reformat....i noticed that in Paragon Partition Manager 10 Server, that my sdcard is only showing as it being all a ext3 partition.
However windows vista can still read the fat32 partition and so can the g1....I am running JACHero's Roms...I have the new radio/spl and cyno's recovery. My g1 is working fine.
I just want to format the sdcard so i can put a updated JACHero rom on it.
Have you tried using Ubuntu? I find that better than paragon.
heres what i did...and it worked. i got the jailbrake cupcake and put my sd card in a usb sd reader and treated as if the droid was plugged by usb then put the original rom put the sd back in my droid alt s and boom it booted thank god cause i was about to spazz if i had to buy a new phone
i have a regular desktop PC and a macbook, i was just wondering, if i formatted my SD card using my pc, could i plug it into my macbook and everything will be good to go? or will it slaughter my sd card? anyone know anything about this?
when you format the sdcard from windows, it should automatically be fat32 format (which is the only FS android likes)
fat32 works with every modern operating system
there is no good reason a problem should occur
just make sure you remove properly rather than just pulling the card whenever you feel like it
alright thanks garok89 for the response =]
how would one format to fat32 in os x? I am using the usb adapter that came with my microsd card
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?

Take a look here, don't fear the dark places.

Okay, not technically a Nook question. But in order to use the extras gigs of space on my sd card while using nookie froyo for sd I need to repartition the sd card. The problem is that Easeus isn't seeing the card. It's there under disk management, explorer, just not Easeus.
Anyone else encounter this problem?
Yep, had same issue. For some reason, when I took out the microsd card and plugged into my laptop via the card adaptor, I had same issue.
Was only able to get Easeus to recognize the card when inside the nook and plugged in via usb. I then partitioned normally. Also check debugging is off (i think off). This is how I got to finally work for me.
Maybe a stupid question but did you launch easeus with the card in or insert the card with easeus already up? Think it has to be in the slot before you load easeus.
I already had the card in the computer. Checked to make sure that I could see it as a drive with all the partitions first. Then fired up Easeus. only shows my C: drive...

Sometimes your card reader can cause problem. Try a different micro sd adapter or usb reader

Had the same
Hi I also has same problem was using server edition uninstalled and installed free version can now see sd card ???

I have the same problem. Windows management sees 4 partitions on the card. 1 of them is not formatted.
Explorer only sees files on the root.
This is after I installed CM7. So what partitions can we use for storage?
Are you running the most recent version of Easeus (8.0.1)? I had a problem with a nook SD card that updating solved.
You haven't said If it's in a laptop card dreaded yet. Easus only recognizes USB drives and internal drives. Google Mini tool partition wizard. That one will work for it (assuming you have the laptop card reader). You should be able to expand to empty space on fat32 Partitions in disk manager on windows though, but the mini tool partition wizard is much better than easeus
Hi guys,
I tried partitioning my external sd card to linux swap, and something must have gone wrong. Now,a notification on my Galaxy S reads "Damaged SD card - SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." This was the first thing I tried, but the Internal SD is formatted instead when I try. (Rom bug?). When i mount my phone via USB, only the formatted (damnit) internal SD is found.
I'm currently on TiramiSlim (best rom!!) with Devil 0.94. If you have any help it would be appreciated, any further questions don't hesitate!

In first i think that partition ext sd card is useless but it's my opinion.
In fact if you want to recover your ext sd i advise you to reformat your sd card with the windows disk utility: you select all volumes, delete them and recreate a new one with ntfs format (android will do his work when you'll insert your sd in the device).
If it doesn't work try to make the same but with a Linux system (Linux is powerful ^^).
Please reply me your results.
Have you tried to format the SD card with an SD Adapter & then make sure that USB debug is enabled on the device.
I had this issue.
Sometimes it shows that the card is damaged & then it reads it later on!
I plugged the Card into my Digi-Cam Formatted it.
Changed the Rom.
Now it works.
Anyways safely remove the drive when plugged into a computer!
i don't have an sd-card adapter unfortunately, the only way i can plug it in is via my phone. I cannot seem to find a disk utility on windows that will read the external sd, i can only find the internal from my computer.
i will try and get hold of an sd-adapter and let you know if it works
fixed the problem!

how did you fix the problem?
My phone recognizes the internal storage but i keep getting "sd card is damaged, try reformatting it" in the notification bar.
when I click on format, it says "unmounting sd card" but nothing happens.
Thanks,
Luke
*edit.. nvm.
I put my SD card in my old x10 and in settings/storage I erased my SD card.
Works fine now
