I'm running boot manager. WHen I trying to access the sd card, my laptop doesn't recognize the TB. The drive shows up, but I'm not able to access the sd card. What is the process for accessing my sd card via boot manager?
Thanks in advance...
Edit... Found the solution. Under boot manager settings, there's an option to mount sd card automatically when connected via USB. That did the trick. Hope this helps!!

Currently running Liberated 2.2 on HTC Aria. I am using the 2 gig SD card that came with the phone.
I read that this ROM automatically installs many of the default and downloaded apps to the SD card which is why the option to move to SD card is grayed out in the Applications menu. Several of the google apps downloaded directly to the SD card, and several of the other apps I downloaded gave me an option to move them to the SD card (after installing them), in the applications menu.
So then, is it as easy as backing up my data in Nandroid, copying the files to a PC folder via USB, ejecting the old card, installing the new card, copying the files back from the PC folder and doing a Nandroid restore?
The old card has a 512 meg ext2 partition on it that I think was created automatically by Liberated FR006 when I first flashed it. Will Liberated automatically create an ext2 on this card when I mount it?
Do I need to perform a format card function in Clockwork Mod first?
Please advise! And as always, thanks in advance for your help!

Well since I didn't get any answers, I just jumped in and did it! Here's how:
1. Move all apps to the phone reboot into recovery.
2. Run a Nandroid backup
3. Restart the phone, USB connect to PC and copy SD card contents to PC folder
Disconnect USB when done.
4. Go to SD card/Phone Memory and eject card.
5. With phone still running, take out the old card and insert the new card.
6. Create ext2 partition with ROM Manager or other viable means
7. Connect using USB, copy contents of PC folder back to new SD card.
8. Reboot phone into recovery menu.
9. Perform Nandroid restore.
Maybe the file copy to the PC followed by a Nandroid restore is redundant, but that is how I did it, and it worked.
How do I know if I got my sd card partitioned?
I installed a new 8gb card. I tried to use the method you described here. When I tell ROMManager to partition the card (512MB EXT and 64MB swap size) it reboots and very briefly what looks like a box or package pops up on the screen and then it just displays a white triangle with a yellow exclamation sign and a green android beside it. I have to remove the battery and reboot the phone.
What is happening or what am I doing wrong?
the phone will boot up ok and when I look at SD card and Memory in Settings it says 6.85GB avail and 6.85GB free.
I think I got it! in rom manager I flash clockworkmod and then it the format the partition thing to take place
I have a 4gig thumbdrive I tote around with a persistent version of ubuntu and some other utilities, like ultimate boot cd. Since I always have my phone, I figured why not just use it instead of carrying the thumbdrive.
I have been trying to install the boot installer on my phone's sd card so I could just boot a PC with the phone. The trouble is that if I install the thumbdrive boot files on the external micro sd card there seems to be no way to boot a pc from that drive. If you goto disk drive mode and boot the PC, it only wants to boot to the first USB device, i.e. the internal SD card. I tried the multimount usb app, but that did not help in mounting just the external SD card.
I have installed the boot files on the internal SD card and successfully booted the PC with it, but once the phone is restarted it decides there is something wrong with the internal SD card and it reformats it.
Has anyone tried to use their phone as their PC boot thumbdrive?
I have tried the YUMI and the old fashion single boot on pendrivelinux.com. It matters not whether I select persistent mode.
Hi, I've installed CM7 on my SD card so that when I switch on my NT16 with the SD card it boots to CM7 and Android 3.7.3. I've extended the 4th partition on the SD card to make use of the card's full capacity but I can't seem to put any files onto this partition.
When I explore the SD card it just shows less than 200MB. When I connect the NT16 with the SD card to my laptop it shows two removable disks but when I click either it says to insert a removable disk.
Any ideas as to how I can put files onto my SD card?
Gotta put it into USB mode.
Only way I know how on my 8GB NT is to:
1) Boot from the CM7 SD card.
2) Once running CM7, connect cable to PC.
3) Android bot will appear on screen with a button that you can click to get it into USB mode.
4) Only after you click will both drives (internal and SD card) appear on the PC.
i tried the sdcard way for roms but i just can't wrap my head around how to get to the fourth partition while using the rom. if u browse to it using a file explorer like root explorer it will only display the rom partition rather than the user data partition.
so the question is: how to get the user data partition to show while using the rom...
Thank you!
After unlocking my bootloader and flashing Aman Recovery, I can't access my external SD card through my computer. Instead my phone gives me access to HTC Storage. Any ideas on how I would go about fixing this?
When I plug in, I get HTC storage and external SD mounted separately.

Usually three things pop up on the computer. internal sd. removable sd, and a CD thing.
I rename the ISO file in /system/etc to eliminate the CD popup (requires root)
Maybe try reinstalling the HTC drivers on the pc and reboot the computer.
Also check that your phone is not in charge-only mode when connected to the computer.
I reinstalled the HTC drivers and had no success. I can access my SD card through my phone, i.e looking at pictures in Gallery. However I still get HTC Storage and a CD drive thing.

when the phone is connected to the computer you should see a special icon on the top of your screen. if you pull down on the notification screen you should see if it is in charging only mode, or if it is allowing sdcard disk access. the access can easily be changed.
but if you see nothing special in the notification area then you have a bad cable, bad phone, or a pc problem.
When I choose disk drive I'm still getting HTC Storage and no access to my external SD card. Is there a way to switch memory access?
if you get access to the internal sd, then look in it for a folder called ext_sd which points to the removable sd card

Insure that the usb option is checked for cd drive
also the power option fastboot is off
I think there may be another option but the old man has a senior moment.

Hey,
For the past month my rooted SCH-I545 (Verizon) S4 has had an error notification that my external SD card is corrupt and needs to be formatted.
Tried connecting the SD card to a card reader, which it wouldn't show up.
Then tried connecting through mounting in Safestrap, which nothing would show up there either.
Ended up formatting it through the phone and the SD card now appears in MTP mode, but still doesn't show when removed from the phone and placed in the card reader or from Safestrap.
How can I either enable UMS to access the drive through the phone to recover files or otherwise gain access to the files formatted on my SD card?
P.s.. Recuva and TestDisk at the ready -- just can't select the SD card when in MTP.
