After I flashed my SD card I could not access the SD card from HC.
I discovered I only had SIX partitions on the SD card, NOT Seven.
I created another partition, and put most of the space into partition SIX
Now is sees the SD card and I was able to load files using Wifi Explorer.
It sees partition SIX. NOT SEVEN.
Hope this helps someone.
I am unable to post in the dual boot thread.

Well I just installed Bluebrush onto my G1 today. Anyways, whenever I start it it says, "You must insert an SD Card before using BlueBrush."
I have my SD card inserted and it has two partitions, Primary FAT32 and Secondary EXT2. This was for moving apps to the SD card. From this you can know it is rooted. I have only moved the app folder but not the data folder, should I also move the data folder?
Anyone else having a problem with this on their rooted G1?
I lost my sd card data flashing a rom. Could not mount it even thru recovery. Got a card reader, but it won't format it.
Using Mini Partition Tool to troubleshoot. I am not at a point where it shows three partitions. The main 16gb unallocated, logical. The ext3 unformatted 500mb, primary (think I did that by mistake when trying to recover partition). And a 32mb unallocated, logical. All zero used memory.
I need to get back to one partition allocated, primary. Then I can get sd data back on it and reformat thru recovery.
Again using Mini Partition Wizard
Any help please!
OK,
I got it repartitioned as primary and formatted, bu sd card from pc now.
Hope phone recognizes it.
Will update, if I need further help.

If you want a good program to format your sd card, try SD Formatter.
Download and install that, plug in your sdcard into your sd card reader and format it.
Choose Full Erase On (if possible) and Resize On. It will format your sdcard to factory default and that means even the ext partition will be gone too.
Well, all transferred. Still won't mount. Says can't mount either of the dev/blocks mmcb1k0p1 and mmcb1k0.
Staus bar says sd card damaged.
?????
musashiken,
Thanks, typing while you posted. Based on my last post should I still do that?
Ken
Yeah I think you should try to reformat again with the program I suggested, as that will full format your sd card.
Once done, put your sd card back to the phone and create ext partition in recovery.
At work now but will be working on it.
Thanks
Ken
musashiken,
Thanks, appreciate all your help
That program worked, and I am back up and running
Ken
Glad it worked for you. My sd card kept giving me problems and I have to use this every few rom flashes.
I have a similar problem. I installed a new 32 gb SDHC card in a CDMA Hero running Cryogenmod. All was working well for about 10 days, then I got an error that no SD card was found. I had the original card and tried to get to the Clockwork recovery, no luck. Finally, through Rom manager, (flash alternate recovery to Ramon, then back to Clockwork, I was able to boot into recovery.
I still cannot format the new SDHC card, through Recovery, Windows 7, or the Panasonic program listed above. The Windows format option sees the card as a FAT 121mb card, so does the above program. Is this new card toast? It came with a lifetime warranty from Kingston, but I am mad that it did not make 2 weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If sdformatter did not work it may be bad.
I always had good luck with it.
Did you have all options set per instructions?
To quickly resize the FAT32 Data (ie music extra large data files etc) portion of any of the bootable SD cards use the following steps:
1. Create your SD Card from the Image.
2. Download and install Easeus Partion Master from Download.com
3. Close out file manager and any other active programs before starting Easeus.
4. Start Easeus, it will boot up and it will show the SD with the four partitions.
5. If your SD card has room that is unclaimed part of it will be gray and labeled unformated.
6. If it has room, right click on the last partition of the sd card and choose Resize/Move.
7. Now simply drag the end of the partition so that it extends the box to include as much of the unformated drive space as you want it to.
8. Hit Apply. Here is the rub, Easeus tries to save the data on that particular partition while extending/expanding the drive. I don't believe this is guaranteed so please backup anything you want to keep. But know that it is possible it might make the transition just fine.
9. Exit the program, you're done!
I've tried this and Easeus doesn't show any of the SD partitions. I've tried two different cards (an 8GB and a 16GB) on two different computers. Any suggestions? I posted this issue in another thread but nobody responded.
Bad reader?
Yeah, Partition Master only shows the first partition for me. I may try to pick up a different reader to see if that's the issue.
EDIT: I picked up another SD card reader over lunch and it also just shows the first partition. Is there some magic to showing all of the partitions on the card?
RE-EDIT: Scratch that...Windows only mounts the first partition as a drive letter but Partition Master shows all partitions properly. Cool!
So how do you access it
So you are correct and this works. My question is how do you access the SD card. If I pull it out and use a reader, windows only sees the boot sector. When I am booted autonooter 3.0 Rooted, put in the SD card and then plug into a computer it only sees the internal memory and the boot sector on the SD. When I connect it to the computer while booted in Honeycomb I do not see any drives.
Have you figured out how to load files on to this expanded area. I would love to try and play ripped DVDs on Honeycomb.
I'm able to resize the fat32 partition, but I would like to resize the internal memory so that I have more space for apps on my SD running honeycomb. Anyone find a work around for that?
Thanks
Hey all, I want to write a new image to what is currently a verygreen size-agnostic card, but Windows, EASEUS and the NC itself only see the boot partition. If I try to format it from Windows 7 x64, will it just wipe the partition, or format the whole card? Is there a way to do it from CWM?
I have:
verygreen's latest size-agnostic card running CM7.0.3 + dal's 4/24 OC kernel
the 3.1 beta running dal's 5/13 OC kernel on eMMC
the latest CWM on eMMC
EASEUS on my PC
I do not have:
another SD card
a card reader other than the NC
Obviously "get a card reader" and "get another card" are answers I could come up with myself. Do I have any options using what I have? The goal is to write racks' Phiremod/HC dual-boot to the card.
ETA: I am hesitant to attempt formatting from CM7 due to the big red letters in the dev thread for 3.1:
DO NOT FORMAT YOUR SD CARD IN CM7. DUE TO A VOLD ISSUE THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR /BOOT INSTEAD OF THE SD CARD!
****Should be fixed in nightly 13****
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does that still apply? Does it apply to the 7.0.3 build? Would flashing eMMC to CM7.0.3 and formatting the card be a possibility?
UPDATE [SOLVED]: As the final post says, the best method to revert a bootable card to storage seems to be, in EASEUS, deleting all partitions except the "SDcard/CM7 SDcard" partition, then dragging that partition to take up the unallocated space.
I use XP and using a USB adapter plug it in go to my computer right click on the drive which will say boot and click format. It takes about 5 seconds to format. Tou will get a warning. Not sure if it is the same with Win 7 but cannot see why it wouldn't format the same way.
Well, I did order a card reader from Amazon. This one seems like it may actually come in handy down the road and not be a one-use thing, and it should be here tomorrow. Maybe for experimentation's sake I'll do one last back-up and try formatting the card in the NC.
I can't sync my apps from Titanium + Dropbox until I get Titanium pointed at a bigger partition.
In the interest of completeness and for the unknown googler: Windows was incapable of formating any but the first partition of the card whether in the NC or a card reader. I tried "Wipe drive" in EASEUS, after which neither Windows Explorer nor the NC would recognize the card to format it. I wrote a new image to it (the HC/Ph dual boot) with WinImage, which worked fine. However, CM7 on the NC still only had access to the boot partition, and I needed more space so that I could sync Titanium Backup with Dropbox to restore my apps and settings from my old SD installation.
Again, there was no formating the partitioned card, so in EASEUS I deleted all the partitions except SDcard, extended that partition, and then formatted it in Windows. I was almost right--the last step was not only a waste of time, but rendered the card readable to Windows but not to CM7 or CWM. So, I once again wrote an image to the card, deleted all the other partitions, extended SDcard to to take up the unallocated space, and then jammed the card in the NC: success!
And Titanium Backup FCed whenever I tried to sync to Dropbox :/
Well, so be it. I manually replaced the Titanium Backup folder on the SD card with the one from my Dropbox, and it's almost done restoring now #knockonwood
Hey Guys..
I dunno if this has been answered before, but I can't seem to find. But I wanted to be able to put files larger then 4gb on my sd card. I have read a few things that people have partitioned their SD card into 2 partitions. 1) fat32 partition that the phone sees as sd-ext, and 2) a 2nd partition that allows files larger then 4gb.
Any recommendations/suggestions how I could do this? Or any apps that assist in this?
My phone is rooted btw...obviously its a script that would need to be run at boot.
Thanks!
