I partitioned 512mb of a 2gb SD card using the partition manager in CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6 but it's not visible to the rom or any external partition managing software. I can't even find a way to reclaim the missing 512mb. Can anyone help please?
Yes it is a error of our cwm.

What do you want? To get back 512 MB or use it as an ext2 partition?
If you want to use your all available space then; Use Rmprep usb to format your sdcard. http://www.rmprepusb.com/

Select your drive Select size as MAX, and hit 6. Prepare drive. Thats all....
If you want it use as Ext2/3/4 partition there is a lot of guides in Dev and General section...
Thanks, I got the full 2gb back using that tool. I then partitioned it to 1.5gb Fat32 and 512mb EXT4 in Mini Tool Partition Wizard. For some reason I remove and reinsert the SD card in my laptop, windows tell me it needs formatting even though it is already formatted. If I reload Mini Tool Partition the ext4 partition is no longer visible and I've no way to reclaim it other than using the tool you provided.
Edit: It was a dodgy MicroSD - SD Card adapter. I've got my SD properly partitioned now, thanks.

I'm having an issue with the SD card in this version. It works fine in android 2.2 thingy.

If I reinsert my SD card, It seems to give me a message saying it's been inserted. But it's still not detected. How can I fix this?
Regards.
delete your ext2 or ext3 partition.
only fat32 with 1 partition (you don't need ext2 anymore for your sdcard)
make backup of your sd card before!
I'm unsure how to do this. Also, thanks for your response. It's been total chaos for me. I guess they should've included this step in the installation process.
backup your sd card via computer then format your sd card to fat32 then try if is detected.
sory for bad english
I did that and there is still an issue.

i hope will work
Not working where is everyone!
go on development forum there you may find a solution or install CM7 gingerbread v13
Right click Computer - Manage - Disk Manager.
Then delete al the ext partions and reformat your card.
do as terrormattie.
makesure you're deleting the right partition and storage.
you can always use other tools like partition wizard to delete or create it later.

I have a Sandisk mini SD card which is 8GB (7.78 ).
When Installed Custom Rom . I tried something with CMW and formatted and partitioned it. It showing now is 6.4Gb space and 1.38GB space is missing.
I checked with DiskManagement. it showed the rest 1.38 GB space. I tried to Unmount that and now its showing 2 drive in 1 SD card.
There is no option to change that to 1 ( 8GB ) Drive.
Need Help.
Thank you,
Ravi Nazre
Edit:
Now it does not show the unmounted Space in the Diskmanagement. I am Amazed! but most important here is how to get it back to normal.

Hi beston94,
Thanks for your Help.
I tried the Panasonic SD formater. That shows 6.41 GB. I tried FULL WRITE Erase. Still the same. Now it does not show in Disk Management that there is an unallocated space. I have attached the screenshot.

I have done that. still no go.

You obviously re-partitioned the SD card to have 6.4 gb and 1.38 gb partitions. You will have to re-partition the SD card again. Formatting alone won't re-partition the card. It will just wipe what is on the main partition, which looks like the 6.4 portion.
Yeah!
So How do i re-partition the SD card again ?
What are the steps involved without using a 3rd party software ? ( If there is.. )
or Please let me know the name of the software which does that.

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue with almost similar details for storage as posted by OP. Now i don't know for OP, but these details are there in my canvas HD for Phone Storage. Hence, my question is, Will following your steps for formatting external memory fix this issue?
Do you have xposed 2.6.1 installed.?

how to unroot phone ?????
Hello all, I need some help.
First of all, my phone is set up with adoptable storage. Before any problems, I had around 3.75 GB used out of 5.51 GB in my phone's Internal Storage. I wanted to migrate data from my SD Card to the phone's actual Internal Storage, so I could format and use the SD card on another phone. I tapped "Migrate data," but it was unsuccessful due to there being not enough space. My phone says "Data left at original location" if I recall correctly. But then the Internal Storage gets nearly full at 5.49 GB used, while all the data still persists in the SD card, unchanged. I've tried multiple reboots, clearing cache and davlink twice, and even deleting many other apps in hopes of updating the storage count, but nothing helped at all. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Use an app called Storage Analyser. It will help you easily identify which file taking how much size. It is very powerful tool and Plots out the storage structure of your devices internal External and System partitions.
Hit Thanks if helped

Thanks, but it did not help, sadly. I think what happened is that some data from the SD Card was copied over to the Internal Storage when I did the migration, but when it failed, it simply left the copy on the Internal Storage rather than deleting it.
