It will just clear the data on the internal sd card only..so you are safe to go ahead and do a data wipe.

If the ROM requires an ext partition, I would strongly suggest getting a Class 4 or better SD card. For what kind of partition, read the instructions for the particular ROM regarding filesystem/size.
Thanks again..
Ok..can u pls tell me which custom rom supports class 2 sd card...and which one doesnt need partition of sd card

This is not a matter of ROM. Class 2 is simply too slow, I would not suggest using with any custom ROM that relies on sd-ext partition. Best case will cause the phone to be slow.
CM7 ......i m using it on class 2 sd card .....
Partition Sdcard:
Partition SD: Partition's sdcard for apps2sd (this formats card so all non backed-up data is lost)
- will create ext2 partition (you will be asked for size of ext2 and cache)
just to clarify things,.the backups made through nandroid will not be erased if i partitioned sd card?

If you partition your SD card all data that was there before will be GONE. (Already written pretty explicitely in the text you quoted.)

U mean the internal memory? U won't need to format it m8, just delete what's on it and just flash over whats left.
No need for a format, there probably is a section in there to format it though.

It is not necessary to format internal sd card to prepare for one new flash?

Simply do this from your PC just right click and choose format.

Ok but why in others post the people speak about using terminal emulator or dialer code to format sd card?
Usually with rom i used cwm to format but by sgs3 this is not possible or i wrong
It is very safe and will keep your system clear. I tried. No problem

In some versions of CWM, the internal sdcard and external SD (emmc) are flip-flopped. In order to format the internal SD of my galaxy s2 using CWM, I had to choose the option to format emmc. If I chose sdcard (which should represent internal SD), it would have formatted my external micro USB. If you have an external SD, just remove it before trying this procedure so you don't wipe the wrong thing (I have made that mistake).

Phone memory is sd card

Hey all i have a problem, i cant instal rom cuz in CWM my sd card is phone memory WTF! In file manager my phone memory is SD card.
Really need help bro's.
Its supposed to be like that. Its like the internal SD card of the phone. For me, it never wipes the internal SD card when I installed a custom ROM. But I always made a backup. If you want to put ROM on external SD card, you can do so. And when you search for the ROM, the folder should be labeled as external SD

the actual internal sd card and android.secure was on that the dead sd card so what shall i do
1. Calm down.
2. Instead of mounting an sd card, you could mount usb storage in CWM. Then connect to your pc, transfer a rom (CWM flashable zip) to your sd card (internal or external, doesn't matter. Whichever you have working at the moment).
3. Flash rom in CWM.
