What can I do? I want to flash my radio through my SD card because I don't want to lose my stuff, but when I go to format, I only have NTFS and FAT. If I do FAT, is it automatically FAT32?

Format this way:
Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. With a card reader on your PC, format a non-SDHC (<=2GB) microSD card into FAT32 (tested to work up to a 4KB cluster size)
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
7. You may have to soft reset once it says the update is complete
(If you are using UC let the customizations run so it will read the SDConfig.txt file)
Taken directly from the wiki which you can find here.
Run this utility from HP. It is free and works wonders.
Copy
thats a pretty neat tool, do you know offhand if it can format a drive larger than 32gb as FAT32? windows doesnt like to
Hi Team,
I have updated my Xperia X10i to 2.1 recently and rooted it with single click root.
My android has many apps installed so thought of moving them to SD card.But when i open the app2sd application,it prompts me to partition the sd card.When i select the space required and apply-it reboots and its the same.Prompts me to partition again.
Please help me in partitioning the card without affecting the data in it with any simple application.Im a newbie to android.
U need to partition your sd card frst in order to use app2sd... Check this link mate http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
+1 and works a treat with "Link2SD".
Resize existing partition first (i.e the full card is denoted as partition 1) the you will have "X" sized partition to which will be "unallocated". select that partition and click "create", "ext2" "primary" and then hit apply Recommend class6+ card for best results

help pls ,,,,,
I have no idea what the question is.
i guess he meant he want to move apps to his sd card ..
1.download link2sd from market
2.copy paste all your sd card files to your computer ( this will format your sd card )
3.reboot to cwm
4.go advance
5.go partition sd card
6.choose your size ( i choose 1024 mb dun go 256mb too little )
7.linux swap 0 mb
9.wait ( quite long about 5mins )
10.done
11.reboot
12.enter link2sd
13. pick ext 3.
14.reboot
15. you can now send apps to sd
The easy way to do it is format it with clockworkmod, it will create an EXT partition and a swap along with the standard FAT partition.
I preferred to use commandline parted and shell fu, but there is also gparted linux liveCD or windows tools like Easeus or Minitool.
Then use link2sd to "link" apps to use the ext partition. Your ROM may already have a2sd, in which case app2sd app is a GUI to control that, or for CM you can use S2E as well
-Download 'Forece2SD' .apk file
Note: This will only work if you are rooted
If you thought My comment was gelpful, Gimme a one-up!
@kabir: force2sd doesn't appear to handle or reformat an EXT partition. There are significant issues with running apks from the FAT sdcard partition (app break on boot, disappear when using usb storage, possibly lower performance due to all the virtual mountpoints), and I think link2sd is better than force2sd because of that.
Can you really use EXT partition of SD card as internal memory ??
he mean swap right? so the main selected memory would be sd card.
i have made a tutorial
go and read it
thx you eraser0
but ur ways is too many steps to follow and it is just linked , have any idea same with this ..? , just flash with CWM and the partition changed ...lol..
Example ~http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161557
I agree.
The only purpose of suggesting force2sd was its simplicity, and I can't think of a simpler way of freeing up space.
Also, the partition. basically, all we're doing is fooling system to believe that it has more memory than it actually does.

How can i set my sd card to default phone memory i.e how can use the sd card as phone memory is there any chance?
By saying default phone memory, I hope you're trying to say that you want applications to be installed to SD Card by default. Correct me if am wrong. In that case, you can follow the steps below.
1) Root your phone
2) Partition the SD card to create an ext partition
3) Use Link2SD application to link applications to the partition created above
4) Set Link2SD to install applications on SD by default.
thanks

thanks for ur reply is this 2 step is doing in recovery mode ???
hi , i have Sony V and in max have 700MB free internal memory
Rom : LOVINS X
Recovery : philz touch
There are 3 apps : Viber , line , WhatsApp that take a large space of my internal memory
WhatsApp/Media
Viber / Media /
Picture / line , Picture/LineMovie
it`s not affect that i movie these apps to SD card , all images , videos still will save to internal memory
So i search and find Link2SD
my Device is root , i create primary second Ex2 partition on my SD card
install link2sd and get the Ex2 partition as default to it
now when i choose viber , line , whatsapp and link them 2 SD
there are 4 options :
link application
link dalvik
link library
link internal Data
i enable 4 of them and ok , the success message appear
but when i check my internal , still all images and movies from these apps going to internal !!
whats the problem !!
another things that confused me is , i must create ext2 partition for link2SD right ?? ext2 in not readable in windows or file managers in android
So how can i move these files if link2SD work ?!

You want to move your data into SD card as well as you want to use link2sd right?
First of all
-You need to partitioned your SD card.
(One smaller than other)
(Keep both partitions as primary partition)
That means now you have two partitions into your SD card.
-Next, format the smaller partition with ext2 format where your apps can be linked.
-Format the remaining part with fat/NTFS file system. (This part can be read in android file manager as well as computer).
This is how you can move your data from internal to SD.
Hope this would be helpful for you.
thanks for replay
but it seems you not read my post currently
i do all these steps ( create small 1 GB primary Ex2 with mini partition tool )
on my SD card >> 14.5 GB fat32 partition + 1 GB ext2 (both primary and fat32 is first )
link2sd looks work fine but nothing move or change after link them to SD
still the temp folder of Viber , whatsapp , Viber is in Internal memory
