Do into disk management (Win7) and delete the 40mb partition, then toss it back into the nook. Worked for me.

I bought a Transcend 4gb class 6 SD card, and partitioned it with paragon, now that ext2 partition has dissapeared and all Im left with is basically 3gs of space on a 4g card. I cant get it through paragon or anything on windows, is there a certain way to recover that partition or have I perminently fried it.
get the format software
hey I went through the same thing... I got panasonic's software called SD Memory Card Formatting Software Ver.2.0, I used it format by sd and got the original space back... good luck
Use ubuntu. If you need a tut look in my sig.

Or if you don't have/don't want ubuntu do it right from the phone, there's a very good guide in the development section on how to do it... you do need CM 1.3 and up recovery though
Good luck
hello everyone
just got my 8g class6 card partitioned to ext2
running cm3.6.5 and it shows my card being partitioned.
now my question is, what else do i need to do in order for my apps to run from the sd card?? I'm very new to all of this and need some help.
i thought cm's build would automatically do this but i've downloaded apps from the market and they take up my available memory up so i'm missing something. hehe.
do i need a certain app to do this or commands of some sort?
I've tried searching the site but can't find simple to understand instructions.
Thanks again in advance for any help.

Nope, Cyan should automatically be doing it for you. Try rebooting the phone. If they are doing something, it should be in small amounts. How many apps/how much room remaining on the internal memory?
cool, thanks for the reply.
wierd thing is that when I had flashed cm's rom i had 73 MB on internal
I then installed the hero theme and that changed it to 69 MB.
reflashed the rom again to take off the theme and MB still on 69.
I just installed like 15apps and they are indeed on my 2nd partition! w00t
It's the data. Data doesn't reside on the SD. So if you browse the internet or market, you will notice you're internal mem go down. But you can fix that by just deleting the caches
so i had my phone running great on my 2gb sd. fat32/ext2/linux swap 32mb. i just bought an 8gb. formatted my new card the same and copy and pasted all my files over to the new card, but now my phone doesnt boot with the new card. i even wiped and reinstalled. it does install everything but doesnt get passed the G1 screen. im running CYAN3.6.8.1 recovery v1.4 haykuro spl and the latest radio. am i missing a step somewhere? when i put my 2gig in it boots right up with no probs. thanks in advance.

did you ever format your card for the same setup?

Also...
Are you starting from a fresh wipe?
I suggest you set up your card with all the partitions you want
but just for a 8gb and not a 2gb. Your fat32 is now bigger.(or would be in my case.)
yes i did a fresh wipe on the phone and reformatted my 8gb the same way i did my 2gb. i have 7gb of fat32 on it. its really weird cuz i dont understand why it would not boot passed the android screen
You need to copy over your ext partition as well as the fat32.. it has all your apps on it.
OK, so I just upgraded to a Transcend 8GB Class 6 MicroSD card from the stock card that was included with the phone originally.
Now, my issue is I have it partitioned for APP2SD and such for Nightlys.
If I partition the new card, I know I'll obviously take all the base data off my old card and put it on the new one. Now, all the apps and stuff on my ext3 part of the card....
Should I just:
A) Do nandroid backup +ext, put new card in and restore (I'm just taking a shot in the dark and assuming this would work)
B) Other method?
Any advice would be great
Shoot, my apologies.
I posted this in the development section by mistake. I had too many tabs open!
Well i just recently got a 32GB card. All i done was any apps i had on the sd card i moved back to the phone. Backed-up anything i had on old card (mp3s, photos etc). Plugged in new sd card, formatted it then thats about it.
Only thing that changed was beautiful widgets, but all that had to do is download some little file again.
Also, when partitioning, how much do you suggest for ext3? I was thinking about 32MB SWAP, 256MB Ext3.....ext3 is used for apps, right?
Thanks.

personally i don't think 256 is enough. i currently have 756 and have 100mb free.
you can just do a nandroid +ext backup and it will restore it correctly as all it does is tar the sd ext directories then extract them on restore. obviously the partition has to be larger or equal in size.
i didnt partition my card at all. Is that bad? Wont the phone do it when you format it?

Are you using the FroYo FAT method or the A2EXT method?

Hi Everyone,
I was able to successfully install honeycomb on my NC and it runs surprisingly well. My only problem is that when I check the available storage the internal memory only shows .92GB of total memory, is this normal? This was only my second attemp at rooting an android device so it is very possible that I may have missed something in the process but I thought I was pretty thorough. Can someone tell me how much internal memory should be available after a fresh install of honeycomb on the NC? Also if I have done something wrong can someone point me int he direction or correcting my mistake? I'm guessing I need to reformat, repartition the internal SD card and reinstall honeycomb. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I'm running the deeper blue V4 honeycomb rom Using Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 from SD card.
I am having the same problem. I used a 16GB SD card. After writing image to it, it shows on my computer as 109MB free of 115MB. I plug it into my NOOK. Under Storage SD card, it shows total space of 1.25GB and available space of 1.14GB. This is without the market installed.

Thank you. So that means doesn't matter how big the SD card is, the size is determined by /data and can't be changed because of the build?
The fix to this is in the HC SD card thread. Take the care out, plug it back into the PC you wrote it from, and run EASUS partition manager to extend partition 4 (data) to fill the remainder of the SD card. my 8 GB card wound up with ~6GB data partition

Thank you for your pointer. I did a search and lots thread came up but I still couldn't find what I am looking for. Could you by any chance post the link pleeeeeeease? THANK YOU!
Google partition-tool.xxx and download the home edition.
I had it run on XP and worked very well.
I think there might be some confusion here, at least on my part. The fix you suggested seems to be for fixing the partitions on an external SD card. I am running HC off of the internal memory and have this problem. I can use the NookColorUMS app and mount the data partition so that it shows up in disk management in windows but I am unable to manipulate the partition so I cannot edit it. I also have a partition called "Media" which is 5GB. It seems that I need to move those 5 GB over to the data partition but I cannot figure out how to accomplish this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
same here
I have the exact same problem
I was able to use the procedures in this conversation
[HOW-TO] Repartitioning the NC back to 1GB/data, 5GB/media
to repartition and reformat my internal drive, although I did end up reloading Honeycomb at the same time, even though it said that it wouldn't affect the OS. Noobie that I am, I affected the OS :-(
