I feel like I'm missing something here.
I can't transfer a movie into my SD card. It's admittedly a large file. Around 5 and a half gigs. Since its over 4, I get that pesky error that happens with Fat32 formatted storage. I tried reformatting the card to NTFS, but the phone just asks to reformat it when the card is reinserted.
Anyone have a solution or am I stuck having to rip the movie in a smaller file size?

Fat32 is 32bit filesystem so it won't be able to read / write more than 3.76gb files , so you can use exFAT instead of fat32

So I went through the process of rooting the nook color tonight, and got everything working great.
However...now my 16gb microsd is a 40mb microsd. I'm sure I'm an idiot, and I'm missing something...but how the heck do I talk this thing into being a 16gb card again?
(it's the card I made into the bootable nooter image, in case this isn't coming through clearly)
Here is how I did it.
1.type 'diskpart' in the run prompt
this will bring you to a DOS prompt2.type 'list disk'
this will list all the volume available3.type 'select disk #'
in the #, use the number from your SD Card4.type 'list partition'
it'll probably be partition 1, be just to be sure5.type 'select partition #'
select the bootable SD Card partition6.type 'delete partition'
now the 40mb partition is deleted and you can reformat under Disk Management
that didn't work for me, but it jogged my memory enough to find disk management in windows 7, and delete the partition. Thank you!
I just put my SD card back in the nook. Once there I unmounted it and formated it. got my 4 Gb back. Nice and easy.

I did the same thing.
I tried that, but didn't have success, hence the question and workaround.
If you're using a windows machine try download the official SD Formatter from:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
It will wipe out all your partitions and formats the card using 32kb allocation units vs the standard windows 4096 which gives better read/write performance.
this worked for me thanks
I have a 1 gig card to use in my rooted NC. Do I need to format it some special way ? I have it formated as NTFS but I can not read it with ASTRO. It should be listed under sdcard right ? but I dont see it.
Help!
From what I've read on the Nook Color spec, it supports the FAT32 filesystem.
Try formatting your microSD card to that (or use the Nook to format the sd card directly)

Yup, FAT32 will work if what you have is a PC. There may be some UNIX filesystem format that's supported too, but for a 1 GB card, FAT32 is enough with its 4 GB file size limitation.
I have spent over an hour reading threads and searching, cannot find what I need.
I have CM7 on eMMC.
How do I get my sd card back to 8gb?

-My Computer-Right click on SD card Drive- Format - Card is now 8 Gigabytes
Had this last night but try formatting the SD card within your nook. I had an SD card with 1 gig image and was having the same problem.
Just to clarify. Use the format options within the nook. Sorry not in front of Nook at the moment.

I read that on CM7 on eMMC when doing that it formats the boot on the nook not the sd card, so did you do this or just think its the way to do it. THanks
Use this program, the free edition:
EASEUS Partition Manager
Windows can only see the first partition on your card. There are probably 4 partitions left from your emmc install. Plug your microSD card into your computer and launch EASEUS. You should see the driver letter assigned to your microSD card and 3 other unassigned partitions on your card. Right click on each of those partitions and delete them. Then either resize the primary partition Windows can see to the full size of the card, or delete that partition, then create a primary partition on the card that uses the full card size. You should now have your full capacity back.

No, I actually did the format using CM7 on my Nook Color. Bit hazy on the exact details, but if you look at the SD storage section in the Settings you should see the different SD cards and will show which to format. I had used my 8 gig SD card as a 120 meg SD boot with CWM so this SD card kept showing available space of about 120 meg (so I chose this to format).
'Should' be fairly obvious but can understand your hesitation.
FYI, I tried Easues Partition on my Windows 7 64 bit machine but did not recognize. Might be worth trying XP or Linux if you have but I would test the above option (Backup everything if concerned). I had just flashed CM7 to my nook so wasn't too bothered if I lost anything.
I can check when I get home.

Windows only sees one primary partition, so you have to use a partition manager to delete the other primary partitions. MiniTool Partition Wizard claims to work in all versions of Windows, I only have 32 bit Vista. Or you could use Linux in a virtual machine such as Vmware, it's free for home use.

Hello guys!
I have 16GB micro SD card and I can't put a movie larger than 4 GB.
my card is formatted as fat32, but I've managed to install paragon+ and mount ntfs card but I still can't copy file larger than 4GB.
Or to be more precise, I can save file via PC on SD card, but all applications don't recognize file.
I have tried with both 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Does anyone know how to solve this?
paragon didn't mount exfat.

It's an android limitation. Android has not NTFS support out of the box. I was sure it supported exFAT (our big brother does AFAIK) but after formatting my 16 GB class 10 SDcard my phone didn't recognize it anymore So, FAT32 and no 4GB+ files
However there's a good chance CyanogenMod supports these file systems (at least exFAT) out of the box

Get a live USB stick for any Linux distro and try saving it that way.
AW: [Q] micro SD card exfat
It should be possible to reformat the card as ext2/3/4. Android would support it natively. The only issue would be for Windows users to install a kind of driver to use it.

I've solved it.
I've formatted 16 GB SD drive half as fat32 and half as ext4, and then i've made a script to mount ext4 to /mnt/storage3 folder.
Now I can dowbload torrents larger than 4GB.
@oskreso, can you share the script?
I used Moto X Force before, and sandisk 64gb sd card with exfat. The sd card work fine in X Force and PC.
But when I plug it into nokia 8 , system said it doesn't support this card.
So I have to backup sd card, format it via nokia 8, and restore all the thing in the sd card.....
I plug sd card which format via nokia 8 into PC, the file system is fat 32.
Yep! That's one of the downsides of pure Android..
It is all about royalties, Google doesn't want to pay them to Microsoft so they don't support sdcards, at least in any other format than old old fat32... Exfat and ntfs are somehow owned by Microsoft...
And with fat32 we are able to use one single file no more than 4gb, that's the limit on fat32... So old so old!
one the other hand what kind of file will you move to a smartphone that is gonna be more than 4GB"s?

I stumbled upon this issue when I was transferring movies for a long flight..
And those 4k videos you film with the phone, they get really large quickly.
So is there any other possible file format that both supports +4gb files and works with Nokia 8?
Seems stupid to format 256gb SD-Card with ancient fat32, which will render the 4k video camera feature obsolete.
unless you only record in smaller chunks or get by using the internal storage space for 4k videos.
Luckily I got the 128gb model so I can at least get by without the extra storage, but it also annoyingly limits the individual files less than 4gb on the 256gb card. What a waste...

Yep! You really said it! It is stupid.
Nokia could add support for other filesystems, but it would require them to pay royalties to Microsoft.
Only format that I have been able to use is ANCIENT fat32... :Mad: ERKELE:
What about EXT4??

You need root to mount ext4 drives, and since we don't have root on the Nokia 8 yet, it's useless.

Thats too bad. My 3 year old phone mounts all filesystems including ext4, ntfs and exfat. I may have to reconsider buying this phone due to bootloader, root and filesystem problems.
Shouldn't a linux device support ext4 by default?

you can try remove partition., if not work in pc (a think you use Windows), then try in GNU/Linux in GParted or only via GParted LiveCD/USB
