Hi! I just clean install my pc for windows 11. I have 512gb ssd. How much I put for drive C? Because I'll make drive D for installing apps and games also!
I personally do 3 times the OS size
Personal experience, 200gb I think is enough, but I moved the download folder to drive D, so drive C is only for storing system files and some applications such as office, etc. But that's all back to your needs.
Id do 200gb and format the 2nd as a fat32 or extfat
I use 80G for C.
D: for Downloads.
E: For Apps: documents, iso,
f: For games.
G: for Media

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!
I clean installed Flashback 10.3 (kudos to the developer!) on my GTab, and it works great. I do have a question...
When I plug in the USB cable from my PC (and turn on USB storage, of course), in Windows Explorer (Directory Opus actually) I can "see" the SD Card as drive G, but I can't see the root drive (Internal Memory). I do get a "Removable Disk H" that displays, which I suspect is internal memory, but it says there is no disk in drive H, and the properties say everything is 0 bytes.
I downloaded "APK Batch Installer" to allow me to back up my GTab apps to my PC, but it can't "see" the internal memory to get to the apps, either.
I have ES File Explorer on the GTab, and I can see the internal memory there; and from there I can "back up" the apps to the SD card - and then, of course, I can see them on the PC and back them up to the PC.
So I guess the question is, how can I see the internal memory (not the SD Card) from my PC? Is that possible? If not, fine, but if so, I'd love to know how.
Thanks, Cecil

There are 2 reasons for what you describe, above.
The first reason--the 2 drives showing up--is, I suspect, the same bug that afflicts the other HC ROM for the gTab, GtabComb(Over). Only one drive--for the SD card--should show up over the USB cable. Start reading from this post onwards for the details and for the "bug fix".
The second--the no disk in drive H: message--is related to the same bug, but, the actual reason for the 0 bytes and the message is because the filesystem that is being presented as drive H: is ext3 (the /data partition) and not vfat (AKA FAT32) like for drive G:.

The description above, and details in the post I linked to, should give you a clue if you really want to do this, but, I strongly recommend that you not export /data over the USB cable like that--esp. on a running system. Doing it in CWM is okay; but, not in the ROM--you will very probably trash the /data filesystem if you change anything there.
Hi, I followed the following tip from a member:

Extremely easy process to build a card similar to N2A to run a very stable CM10 from:
http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/...r-nook-tablet/ (built by"Succulent")
And am wondering what the fourth FAT32 partitions purpose is, other than storing freshly downloaded files to it, or else for app data.
Since I can't access it from Windows, (just as Minitool says..."you can access only the 1st BOOT fat32 partition from Windows"), I can't copy any of my existing mp3's, vids, ebooks, or big game APK's (100's of MB each) to it. I created it big (10GB) for this purpose, but then while deleting,recreating this parition in Minitool, I saw (& then remembered) the minitool msg. How can one sideload files to the sdcard from a Win7 PC? Make that first FAT32 partition (by default 249MB) my 10GB ? Is that even an an option? OR is there a better method of getting all my existing mp3's, movie files, and APK files onto the SDcard?
You should see this partition when you connect your NT to your PC.
Like Digixmax says, connect the Tablet to the PC. You should be able to see both your internal storage and the use partition on the sd-card.
The Tablet might show up as a picture of an mp3-player with headphones OR you get prompts on the Tablet itseld to enable USB storage or something like that. It depends on you storage settings how the Tablet shows up on your PC, but you should absolutely be able to transfer files both to internal storage and the card!.
Thanks guys. I'm copying my stuff to it right now.
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...
MicroSDXC card(tf card) usually starts from 64GB memory and it is formatted with exfat file system.
It is fine in most cases but maybe does not play around with IP cameras.
Some IP cameras format SDXC cards with fat32 file system and on this phone (moto g 5g plus with stock android 10) it is not compatible and can't be read (alarm:need format first).
Take my new SDXC card with 64GB memory which will be used on IP camera for example.
IP camera is using camhi/camhipro software and always formatting tf card with fat32 file system.
The tf card then is compatible with Windows and android 7, but not on this phone with android 10.
If you put tf card with exfat file system back on IP camera, the camera will format back to fat32.
So there is dead end for my g 5g plus with an otg usbcard reader or directly insert to easily access the recorded videos.
The need that directly read the recorded video is that the software on IP camera (both itself on android and on Windows)doesn't support multiple playback speed nor multiple download videos through wifi/self-hotspot.
So that's a painful to review recorded videos.
But if you can get direct recorded files, on android, mxplayer can play on 4X speed (although no audio...).
On g 5g plus with stock android 10 , it is only supported SDXC card with exfat file system and even with 16GB tf card formatted with fat32 is not compatible with IP camera that also formatted with fat32.(ouch...)
But on an older phone with android 7 , the android 7 will format SDXC 64GB with fat32 and also compatible with that formatted with exfat.
Doing some search get back few the same situation.But android is like linux , already got phone rooted, there should be a way.
And finally a solution has been found.
1. take off the SDXC card from IP camera and insert it to otg usbreader.
2. plug otg usbreader to the phone and ignore the alarm and DON'T do anything .
3. open termux , type su , type blkid .
You'll see the last line something like:
/dev/block/sdg1: UUID="F7E2-E7B3" TYPE="vfat"
remember the "/dev/block/sdg1".
4.open total commander , add new button , send shell command , su
parameter :
umount /mnt/expand
mount -t vfat -v /dev/block/sdg1 /mnt/expand
(where "/mnt/expand" is the mount point , you can change it to some other new folder like /storage/emulated/0/sdcard . Then you can add this folder as new bookmark or place for quick access.)
5.hit the new button , now you can access the SDXC card that with fat32 file system. You can directly play videos using mxplayer or copy them into internal memory then play afterwards.
6. after things done , disconnected the otg first ,then leave out the mount folder, then hit the command button again .(to avoid "/dev/block/sdg1" path change)
Afterwards, you can just plug in otg , hit the button, go to the mount folder , copy or review , disconnected the otg , leave out the mount folder, hit the button , done.
update1:
The mount point is better to set subfolder below /storage/emulated/0/ to avoid mxplayer failed to play the videos that copy from internal storage to otg usbsdcard.
