Hi.
Hoping somebody can help me with this. I have a perfectly working HP TouchPad with webOS on it (3.0.5) but since I updated to 3.0.5 it will not mount as a USB drive on Mac OS X or Windows. It will appear in disk utility but I get the message to "Initialise... " the disk as it is not recognised as a valid formatted drive.
(Note webOS runs fine on it)
When I try mounting it in Windows 7 the same thing happens - I can see it in Device Manager but not as a USB drive.
I tried formatting it as FAT32 from within Windows 7 but then when I boot into webOS it says that it has to reinstall apps. In this situation even the inbuilt email application disappears from within webOS.
It did work fine before and I could copy and paste files onto it in USB mode.
Anyone any ideas how to get it back working as a USB drive in both OS's?
I have a 64 GB Touchpad. Originally I had created a 10 GB extf3 partition for Ubuntu on it. Then, with Android ICS working quite well, I deleted Ubuntu and recovered the partition. In WebOS the system information says 64 GB. But I cannot actually use the recovered 10 GB, Internalz Pro reports only 47 GB and so does Android. So the 10 GB are still unformatted? The WebOS Tailor app is not working for me, so how can I revover the lost space and make it usable again?
Perhaps I can do it from the terminal with WQI?
Thanks for your help

Try taking the card out of the phone. Use a card reader on your computer and use mini tools partition program. It should do the job.
Make a backup, in case things go South...... Good luck.

Sorry, you misunderstood. It is the Touchpad, not the Pre. The Touchpad has no card, only the internal flash memory.
with the touchpad mounted on your PC, does it show 64?
(mount it in recovery)
does webos doctor fix it?

Mounted from Android it reports 45.2GB, connected via WebOS it is the same. How do you mount in recovery? When I am in WebOS recovery mode the PC doesn't recognize the Touchpad.
I didn't run the doctor yet, would the doctor fix this and reformat the partition?
in clockwork recovery, you can mount usb drive by entering Mounts and Storage option and choosing Mount Usb, and it will be visible to your pc. but it sounds like you might have an invisible partition, in cases of that partition being on a sdcard it took a special program on the PC to repartition the sdcard to recover the size.
you can't format the touchpad without losing everything, i don't think that would be safe but i haven't tried it. if anybody claims to have done it safely then they will hopefully chime in
you can run the webos doctor safely though and it might fix the partition, your only loss would be reinstalling Android the original way
Okay well I would like to dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7 (which I already have installed). I then go to make a partition for Ubuntu and even though I have 438 GBs of free space on my HD, it will only let me partition 10GB of it, wtf?! Any explanation of why this is happening would be greatly appreciated!
Btw, a screenshot of my disk management page is attatched.
OK first I'm very new to this and it's my first time with trying to build from source. I set up ubuntu 12.04 lts with windows installer that was on there sight. Everything went good. Booted into ubuntu, set up build environment and started to repo sync CM. Problem is (yes I know sounds stupid) when I set ubuntu up it never asked about partitioning so when I repo sync it goes a long ways but it always fails cause of low disk space. I booted back into windows and shrunk c drive so I now have 89 GB of unallocated space. So my question is how or can I allocate that space to ubuntu and set up partition? Any help would be great!! Believe me I've read alot but I just can't get a clear answer with this exact situation.

Maybe try AOMEI Partition Assistant or MiniTool® Partition Wizard Home Edition or EaseUS Partition Master...
But i think you are saying you have a 89 GB of unallocated space partition showing in windows disk management.... I think all you need to do is "format" that 89gb unallocated space and assign the drive letter and you will have yourself a new windows partition.

You can do it from inside Ubuntu. Open the menu and search for GParted. Open that and allocate the space. If you don't have it installed, open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gparted" and it should be installed, or download it from the Ubuntu Software Center.
As I had posted earlier in the forum, the dual boot tablet would not boot into windows 10. After multiple attempts of leaving it plugged-in overnight and subsequently failed attempts at reinstalling windows via USB drive and hub, I decided to start afresh and convert it to android only tablet. I loaded mirek’s lollipop version 7 and reinstalled all the apps I use. This gives me enough room for now loading up what ever I like without fear of running out of room. I do have couple of questions-
- on a 32 GB tablet, after installing the ROM, setting shows Internal storage as 2 GB and Internal Rom 20 GB with Total space available 16.25 GB. This far less than what I see on my nexus 7 tablet (android 6.0, 32 GB) where I see 26.4 GB available. Is there a hidden partition taking up additional space ?
- Even though the tablet is rooted, I cannot transfer apps to external sd card. The sd card is ‘visible’ in folder app and in storage.
Thanks for your help.
