[Q] Memory card damaged coz of making partition! - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decide to install one of android builds from this section on my X1,It's CWM needed,so I have make 4 partition on my card[ 1Fat 32 & 3 EX2]using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 5.2 and then apply.....My device doesn't detect the card anymore,just asking for formatting and I hit yes,and It appears again and again,trying to format the card using MiniTool Partition Wizard again to NTFS,Fat 32 and FAT again,no results,Unformat mark appears on the partition on this app.
I also tried HP format tool,but it doesn't help too....
PS:maybe it's better to ask it in X1 section,But I prefer to ask it here Bcoz of visiting by more peoples,sry....

Did you partitioned your first partition with FAT32 format? Windows can only detect the SD card first partition.

Yeah....
But just to know if i have did it what should I do?

maybe you can use "partiton manger" to repart your sd card

It's not the problem with partition software because I'm using the same version with Reza.
Did you done all the partition exactly the same as below?
Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :
- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)
- 2nd partition: EXT2 (System / about 150 MB )
- 3rd partition: EXT2 (Data / about 250 MB)
- 4th partition: EXT2 (Cache / about 100 MB)
* Make sure all partitions are set to PRIMARY

Hi guys, I partitioned my sd card on my android froyo smartphone but after the process was done the phone hasn't recognized the card any more and nor I can see it thru the computer. I don't have a micro sd card reader but I assume that's gonna be my best bet...
Please let me know if you have any hint.
Thanks in advance

I got hold of an sd reader and the card is perfectly seen by the computer. Of course windows won't see the ext2 partition but under minitool partition wizard both partitions are shown.
I wonder why my cellphone is not recognizing the sd card then...
Hope you guys can help.
Thanks again

the first partition must be fat32
right: FAT 32 | Ext2 | Ext2
wrong: Ext2 | Ext2 | FAT 32
Check that every partition is set to PRIMARY

That's what I did. As soon as I create the second partition the phone won't see the sd card.
I'm gonna try a different program and see if maybe it goes better. Do you have any suggestion other than minitool partition wizard?
Thanks again

Tried with gparted but always getting the same problem... still stuck...

Can you believe I created two ext partitions, one ext2 and one ext3 other than the first fat and the phone is finally recognizing the sd? That is so weird... but working!

you use "partiton manger" to repart your sd card

EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition

Okay, I´ve seen this on other threads, but not in the theme / apps thread.
I think that this is one of the best programs for partitioning the sd card.
For those that are tired of starting computer new, starting with gparted, partitioning sd card, starting computer new!
Here´s what I use: EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Home Edition
I can partition my sd card with my computer. That means that I don´t have to reboot my pc. It´s free. Here´s the link to the download:

Cannot partition ext4
Thanks, but you should mention, that with Easus you are not able to create ext4 partiton. So ext4 only with Gparted.

Problem with making an ext3 and swap partitions.

Hello!
I'm trying to make an ext3 partition (300mb) and swap partition (128mb) on a 16gb SanDisc mircoSD.
The problem is that when i put a microSD into my computer, the miniTool shows i have 44mb FAT partition and 14gb unallocated space. My phone (and computer when microSD is in the phone) sees full 14GB SDcard.
So, when i partition the card by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning , and after i click Apply, computer sees only 44mb on my SD card. when i unplug the card and plug in again, my computer one time sees 44mb, another 14gb. MiniTool shows i have 44mb FAT and 14gb unallocated space again.
I tried to make only FAT32 partition, but my card still has only 44mb FAT and 14gb unallocated.
Does anyone knows what is wrong with the card or what do i do wrong? Please help me
try format using CWM
then partition using CWM too
thats simpler than minitool
but u cant custom the size
only 64 128 256 etc
Use MiniTool Partition - Home Edition
If your computer is running windows this is normal..
If you were running a superior OS like linux you would not have this issue..
Windows cannot read or write to superior file systems like ext3 & ext4..
It won't even see the swap partition either..
Hmm, im using Windows 7 and MiniTool Partition - Home Edition. In the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning), as i can see, the operating system is Windows 7, so i don't think it's system problem.
Maybe i'll try to do this from another PC.

you can use any good partition manager and delete the partition you have created. And re-create the one with smaller size
I have the same problem.....deleting the partition with minitool partition didn't work .......I lost the partition space altogether ....had to struggle to restore the space

Simplest way is to use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"
With this app you can create/resize partition.
Hope this helps
Thank You Guys
Thank You All
