Hi,
I have partitioned my MicroSD card so that i can run Android of a 4Gb primary partition, and WM off the rest of the card.
I now find that when i connect to the PC, and set it to Disk Drive, it only shows the first partition (which i have assigned as the Android) partition.
Do you know how to show both in Disk Drive mode? I can see both in ActiveSync, but thats a painfully slow xfer method when you have 4 or more gb of data to transfer!

The first couple of times I plugged the Bionic into the USB port under the USB Mass Storage setting it showed the Internal storage as a drive labeled MOT as well as the SD Card labeled Removable Disk. It was necessary to move some restore data to the internal disk because the app could not find the data on the SD Card. It was necessary to do this with another app and Win7 popped up a Disk error for the internal storage drive. Now Win7 cannot access that disk. I had errors on the SD Card on my Droid1 and was able to take the card out of the phone and put the card directly into the Win7 card reader and do an Error Check and Repair. Any ideas on how to do an error repair on the internal storage disk on the Bionic?

Does your Bionic have ext4 partitions ? You can run e2fsck .

Running 4.2.1 Supernexus on an i9100, I had a 32GB Micro SD card in the phone and when I had it connected to my computer I formatted it, except I foolishly set the format to NTFS. Now android won't read it (doesn't show up in storage) nor will it mount it when connected via USB so I can't put it back to FAT32/exFAT
Installed Paragon's NTFS mounting tool which mounts the drive but it's still not showing up in storage or being mounted via USB.
How can I format it back to FAT so it will be read by windows and/or android? I'm surprised there is no SD Card formatting apps out there
Thanks :good:
Put it in a card reader, and format it directly in your computer, not through the phone.
If for some reason Windows doesn't see it, use MiniTool Partition Wizard.
Hi there
Thanks to all you good people out there sharing knowledge all over the internet, I have managed to successfully install Android-x86-RC2 on my Asus S400CA Ultrabook! :good: (It comes rooted with superuser)
I want to keep things simple. Avoiding anymore dual-boot disasters, Android install and boot from an external disk is safe and easiest thing I could do.
Currently running Android from an external 150GB USB Mass Storage Disk.
(This disk is partitioned. Android is on a 10GB partition. I can change this as per your suggestions using MiniTool on Windows 8.1)
Key Problem - Unable to use any other storage, other than the 2047MB created during the install.
I'll be happy to buy an independent higher capacity SD card, as long as it works!
I tried with a 1GB SD card. Partitioned (100MB Fat32, 880MB ext2) and also unpartitioned. Android mounts the card. Link2SD fails to move apps.
(SD card gets mounted under USB storage in the settings).
If you people can help me sort this one thing out, I'll be so so very thankful....
.....cause without storage all my efforts will become complete waste.
(Installing Asphalt 8 requires 1.4GB space, which fell short of 35MB space. And that's just one game.)
Everything is in working order! - All hardware, including touch screen, SD card reader, WiFi Wireless adapter, Xbox Wireless USB Controller, Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (multiple connections - Sony mouse VGP-BMS33, and Plantronics earphones).
Bluetooth was really annoying since it failed to pair everytime. Thanks to 'Bluetooth Auto Connect' app from Play Store sorted this issue.
Haven't tested webcam and I can't go any further...
I am out of space.... but I can't give up just yet.... PLEASE HELP
SOLVED...!
Android x86 RC1, RC2 and r1, all have similar behaviour! It really depends on the type of partition format you use.
FAT32, FAT and NTFS will limit the internal memory to 2047MB. Ext3 and ext2 partitions however create internal memory using the whole partition space.
Kindly note: Do no use Android installers' paritioning. Instead use third party tool like MiniTool Partition Magic from your Windows environment to partition and prepare the disk for installation. (During R&D I formatted ext3 partitioned disk with NTFS formatting using Android installer. When I went back to do another install, I found that disk was still showing Linux! So used MiniTool for formatting...)
Hope this helps someone...
Hello,
my SD-card is damaged, it can no longer be formatted as internal memory. How can I, if not the data, at least save the SD-card and use it again as internal memory?
I inserted the card with adapter into Windows PC and executed CHKDSK, supposedly there is RAW data on it. Windows Disk Management displays the SD-card 100% error-free, with 16MB and 28.5GB partitions. Windows can't read them either. What could I do to recover data and/or memory?
I cannot connect to the PC via USB debugging (with ADB and MTP). Is there another possibility of SD-card & or data recovery, if I had the exact error code, for example? Anything, anyone?

1st of all, I don't know, how this is related to our device! :/
Anyway, Use an sd card reader and plug it via a usb in pc and see if windows detect it...
if yes, you can format it by windows and then recover the data by any data recovery software...(100% data can never be recovered, or there might be a chance that no data is recovered)
If not then probably you won't be able to recover anything. You can try giving to a shop who recover the data, they might be able to help!
I inserted the micro sd-card with SD-Card adapter into Windows PC and executed CHKDSK, supposedly there is RAW data on it.
Windows Disk Management displays the SD-card 100% error-free, with 1x 16MB and 1x 28.5GB partitions.
BUT windows OS can't read DATA either.
I've found that Linux on a PC can sometimes read USB memory sticks that Windows finds unreadable.
This may apply to SD cards as well, so put your SD card into a PC-accessible card reader and try reading it under Linux.
There are various versions of Linux that don't need to be installed on your hard disk, and can be booted direct from CD or USB stick.
These are referred to as "live" installations.
GParted Live CD or USB stick might be useful for you. (Search for it).
(GParted = Gnome Partition Editor. Take care with that particuler program though)
Thanks for your advice. I will probably try this in second life.
Hello all
I have a Nokia 6.1 running Pie.
I have a 64GB MicroSD card, but everytime I format it on my PC to EXFAT or NTFS to allow files which are larger than 4GB (movies) everytime I put the SD card back in the phone it won't work unless I format it again in the phone which then formats it to FAT32 or something which doesn't allow files bigger than 4GB! It's driving me crazy as I can't find a solution! Also I've tried to format it in the phone to use as phone storage to extend the 16gb in the phone but when I plug the phone into my PC it only shows the internal storage as the 16GB, not the extra 64GB...
Please help!
