hi, i was wondering if you know how to extend the c drive if there is extra space on that hard drive (i tried disk management)
here are my numbers :
recovery = 11.90 / 25.00gb
OS(C = 174.82 / 293.03 gb
blank unallocated space =380.60 gb
the disk manager in the administrator programs wont let me make OS partition bigger by adding the unallocated to it.
can you help?
(win7 x64 bit )
the options are all greyed out except the ones shown in my pic
i need the extra space
thank you for helping
Convert your partitions from "Basic" to "Dynamic", then you should be able. Or get Hiren's BootCD and use one of the partition tools. Or clone your hard drive to something else, format it, and make whatever partitions you want, then go back to Ghost, and clone back. Or just go for a fresh windows install, and format during the installation.
Also next time, use should try using this new website I found not too long ago. It's called http://google.com

that partiton isn't free, green indicates an active file system. Right click on the free space and click delete volume. Then reboot and try to extend. If that doesn't work download paragon partition manager home edition (its free) and use that. Its WAY more powerful but the ui is similar to windows so you'll be fine. No need to use custom boot cd's or linux, which may actual obfuscate the problem
OK I had a problem. 1 it wouldn't let me extend it b/c the c partition was in use..which it was. The only way to get it to not be in use is to use a HD (external)! With Linux ....and this won't delete the info on the existing partition

I've extended primary partition before, without problems, but try paragon
if that doesn't work use ubuntu and boot into live cd and use gparted to delete partition and extend c

EASEUS Partition Master 9 Home Edition is what you need.
Its free and it will let you do anything you want to your hard drives regardless of partition types.
Can you not just shrink the secondary partition and then expand the primary one?

hello guys,
i want to share how to running android from sdcard, last time before i lose my X1 it's already running well on my X1.
here's the step :
requirement :
1. linux (mine ubuntu 9.10)
2. for ubuntu do "sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools" for getting unsquashfs (for extract system.sqsh)
prepared equipment :
1. 8gb SDCard (for good starting but you can also using 2 gb or 4gb)
2. partition your sdcard like this (8gb configuration) you can using gparted :
1. 5.5 gb format using fat32 this called : mmcblk0p1
2. 1 gb format using ext2/ext3 for /system this called : mmcblk0p2
3. 1 gb format using ext2/ext3 for /data this called : mmcblk0p3
4. 512 mb format using linuxswap for /swap this called : mmcblk0p4
installation :
1. do execute on terminal : unsquashfs <your system.sqsh directory> after extraction you will see directory called "squashfs-root"
2. copy all files from "squashfs-root" directory into your SD Card /system partition or mmcblk0p2.
3. copy startup.txt, haret.exe, modules<build>.gz, zImage from vdelf build onto your root SDCARD fat32 or mmcblk0p1
4. download and copy/replace rootfs.img from here into your root SDCARD fat32 or mmcblk0p1.
5. execute haret.exe and then wait and pray.
@vdelf :
man...your the best, with this configuration you can easly changes or edit an android modules.
cheers,
fatsal

But after all, why ask those questions every time? Get yourself DamnSmallLinux and qemu emulator.. It will be about 60 Mb download total and you'll never have problems with ext2 filesystem and permissions
sp3dev thanx for the hint i was looking for small distro ...
Thanks fatsal, almost there.
But one thing u missed in your first post, was to copy initrd.gz in step 3 (copy it to the fat32 partition)
Otherwise HARET says "/Storage Card/initrd.gz" not found.
But i get stuck in the boot screen (the android loading image with the X).
It just sits there forever. It shows a bit of the animation, then stalls for a second then skips back to the start of the animation...
Not sure whats wrong.

Yes, i have that problem too!
any help is appriciated!
i've definately done it all correct because when i insert the sd card the /data partition is filled with android files!
but the x just loops, freezes then continues to do that! :S
I have and 8GB SDHC card class 6, but i only ever have 7.42GB available, even when the card is empty. Is this normal?
Also i have tried to use Gparted to partition my SD card following the instructions aove, but i get an error message, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong. See attached for details.
Thanks in advance.
yes the 7.42 gb is normal, i cannot help you with the error though
but until we can get to fully boot up theres no point anyway!

I never managed to get past that. I got the same effect when i modified the system.sqsh. I ASSUME, that a file link is broken or some file permissions are not correct. I am sure, it is something trivial, but no idea how to find out.

It is MUCH EASYer to set this up with linux. It is possible using windows, but you have to use some black magic. Windows will not allow you to create more than one partition on an sdcard or usb-drive. Maybe some 3rd-party-partition-program can, but i dont know of one. It is possible to fool windows to think that the sdcard is a fixed disk. Then you can create more partitions.
The next problem is to create the ext2-filesystem in windows. There are drivers to read/modify ext2, but creating it? Maybe that 3rd-party-partition-program can...

Ask and ye shall receive
This is the Hitachi fixed-disk filter driver - if you put your device id in the inf file, you can partition your SD card like a normal fixed disk.
NOTE: I take NO responsibility if this driver eats your first-born child, or opens a trans-dimensional portal and sucks you into oblivion. You are on your own for support. If you are unsure what you are doing, DON'T USE THIS - get a live CD linux distro and boot that instead.
If you want to read-write ext2 partitions under windows, use something like http://www.fs-driver.org/ - again if it turns your computer into a smouldering pile of vomit, it's YOUR responsibility!
But have fun anyway!

how to make partition to my SD card by using the dsl?
thank u in advance
Most linux distributions have cfdisk. Look at the linux log to find the device name for your sd-card. It should be something like /dev/sdb. Run cfdisk /dev/sdb as root, and you can manage partitions on that device. Be carefull not to edit the wrong disc
For partitioning i mostly use gparted. Bigger download, but very comfortable and powerful partitioning system.
Ok, So this is my first guide.. so plz dont mind if my steps are not totally clear
I donno if a similar guide is available or not, bt i had problems finding it so i jus thought i would make my own and make it easier 4 everyone else!!!!
What is needed:
* A computer
* gParted Live CD image
* Blank CD-R
* Software to burn a .iso image
* A card reader
* (I would also recommend an extra computer 4m where u can access this guide), its just in case u 4get any step, coz once u have booted up in gparted, you wont have any net access 4m there
1) Download gparted Live CD (.iso) 4m here:-
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
(The download will be a bit slow, don't blame me, blame sourceforge) remember to download the stable version
2) Once downloaded Burn it using ur favorite burning software(i use imgburn coz its very simple), dont change any settings, it will burn as bootable by default
3) Restart your computer and enter boot menu(usually by pressing F2/F12) ,in boot menu change the boot order to bring ur cd drive on the top and the exit saving changes
4) Once ur computer restarts, it will boot 4m the CD and u will see some weird lines on ur screen, the u'll come to a page where u have 4 options, select the 1st one(it says boot gparted or something like that)
5) Once started it will ask u 4 preferred language, select ur language by typing the numbers given der and hit enter, after that it will again give u 3 options PRESS 0 AND HIT ENTER
-----U Will get a blurred screen now bt dont worry -------
6) Now u should have booted into gparted, wait 4 a dialog to open, there u would see ur computer's hardisks
7) On the right-hand side top corner u can select to see ur SD card (I donno what to call it bt its like a clickable button which opens a dropdown list of all the storage devices connected to the PC)
8) After selecting the SD card u can see ur SD card in the main screen(along with the partitions, if any) now what i would prefer is a clean format, so delete all the partitions, then u'll be left with just one tab of unallocated space(the total size of your SD card)
9) Right Click on the unallocated and then click new
13) A box will appear to create your first partition. Create your Fat32 partition first. Click the drop down box and click Fat32. Choose the size you want to make it (I just write the size of my EXT4 partition +30MB in the 'Free space following box'---Example:- I want a 512 MB EXT thein ill write 512+30 i.e. 542). leave it as primary. Now click add
14) Now U'll see 2 partitions, one FAT32 and the other one is unallocated, right click on the unallocated one and click new then type 30 in the free space following box, make sure its also on primary partition in the create as box, and then u can select any file system you want (EXT2,3,4). then click add
15) Now only 30 MB will be shown as unallocated. Right click on that and click new, don't change anything, except the file system box, select it as linux SWAP, then click add
16) Now click apply. Congratulations!!!!!!! You are done with the partitioning of your SD card!!!!
17) On the top left of your screen u can see an icon named as exit/turn off, click on it and then select reboot and click ok... ur pc will restart and boot to windows....
---------------------------------------------------------------
This will Give your a successfully working EXT and swap partition, that to of your desired Size!!!!
Hope this proves to be helpful to anyone who requires it.... feel free to post questions if u have any problems understanding these steps
can you please change all those 4s... it is really irritating!

You will have to install the Apps2SD Script after this, and move the apps and dalvik cache to the SD card after this guide, to move your apps to SD and remove the low mem space message.

I also used ROM manager to create swap partition for Wildpuzzel ROM but after didn't know that ROM manager can create Ext-3 or Ext-4 partitions
Thanks for clarification
It's EXT-3 only AFAIK. But, DTApps2SD can convert EXT3 to EXT4 (Or EXT2 to EXT3). You can take a look here:

Never create partitions just to install linux with windows. thats the old method.
the newer more preferred method is using WUBI (Windows Ubuntu Installer).
Use it to create a seamless virtual parition and add linux to dual boot. No partitioning and no headaches.
BTW to fix ur current issue delete the additional partitions which hold you EXTRA OSes and merge them with logical partition.
than install ubuntu using WUBI.
Use pragon partition master or Acronis Disk Director. PM is old skool.

Wubi only allows max 30GB of space .
If we need to compile AOSP and CM7/9 we will need to use the method that you presumed old
Herpderp Defy.
What if you create a bootable thumb drive (thumbdrivelinux.com) and do a dual installation that way? I have done it in the past and don't remember having any problems re-sizing partitions.
I would personally recommend using Xubuntu and ditching Windows entirely.

I wouldn't , I've regretted removing windows because of its amazing compatibility. Don't use wubi either because it had some issues with GRUB
AOKP 4 LYF
If you create a live USB/CD you can boot from that and go to install Ubuntu it will auto-detect windows and partition accordingly (even adding the info to grub).
To fix the issue I would (from windows) extend C: to consume the whole HDD again and than boot Ubuntu and tell it to install along side windows.
That should work. If not let us know
Much thanks to all who replied, I got it resolved, running both now. No issues.

Hi,
I got an Rasbian image on my 8GB SD card and the image expanded to full 8 GB on first boot.
Now I found this nice bootloader which I want to use:
http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot
The second image I want to use is the Raspbmc media center which uses like 100 mb.
Berryboot supports installing OS from image files but only if both images fit on the SD card probably
So the question is how can I resize the Raspbian image by 100 MB so I can install Raspbmc too?
Thanks in advance

I'd imagine you could adjust the partitions with fdisk or parted, but I have *NOT* tried this.
You'll definitely be able to use parted for the data partition on the same card. I tried resizing it using gparted and it worked fine

It doesn't make a difference it's a matter of personal preference. If your more comfortable using the live gparted CD with the GUI go for it.

Hello, Finally made an account after lurking and flashing for a few months. This one is really stumping me...
SO.....
I was going to do a new install and wiped everything. I was trying to get the full size of my external 32gig card back after partitioning it for a app2sd setup and formatted it with disk utility(OSX). I ended up formatting the internal(I Know) by accident being a fast-click McGraw. I caught my mistake and formatted the external like originally planned. I think I formatted them to vfat.
After all this formatting, CWM and ADB won't mount my disks. CWM will not format them either because they won't mount. I have no rom loaded to boot into and I can't flash a new one because neither drive will mount.
I have been trying what seems like so many different things to include trying to make an EFI bootable Linux Live usb(didn't boot). This issue would probably be fixed by now if I wasn't using OSX but hey, it's what I have to work with. If anyone can help end my multi-day madness with a solution, great appreciation would be had.

Hello, Finally made an account after lurking and flashing for a few months. This one is really stumping me...
SO.....
I was going to do a new install and wiped everything. I was trying to get the full size of my external 32gig card back after partitioning it for a app2sd setup and formatted it with disk utility(OSX). I ended up formatting the internal(I Know) by accident being a fast-click McGraw. I caught my mistake and formatted the external like originally planned. I think I formatted them to vfat.
After all this formatting, CWM and ADB won't mount my disks. CWM will not format them either because they won't mount. I have no rom loaded to boot into and I can't flash a new one because neither drive will mount.

Use Odin and flash back to stock Google xda wiki exhibit. You will have to be on windows so just install windows 8 trial on a virtual machine. You all ready tried all the other ideas i have for getting it to mount so...

Is there a linux or OSX solution? I have no problem running a Linux VM. I really don't want to have to sign up with M$ if I can avoid it.

Yea i understand im not a big of ms. Running Linux isn't really beneficial since you can do everything in osx. You can even compile but getting some packages is a pain. Anyways can you not push anything to / or does that partition not even exist? You could try mounting USB storage from recovery but i doubt that would work. We don't have hiemdal for this phone or you could use linux. Windows might be your only option find an iso somewhere if you don't want to register or download enterprise 7 by providing whatever the info it asks for, make it up.

I can connect USB storage in CWM recovery and can shell into the system. What, where, and how would I to push to the device?

Use this command or something similar.
./adb push /file path of ROM /
But if USB works then when its mounted just put a ROM on drag and drop and flash it.

Got it fixed!
While my Exhibit was down, I started using this Blackberry Curve I have as a backup. Decided to put my microSD in it and formatted it. I saw that it put the card back to its original storage space and got rid of the non-accessible partition. Loaded my backup onto it, CWM finally mounted it, and I flashed it.
Please mark solved or closed
