I flashed wp7 but now I want to go back to android but my SD card only has 199mb free instead of my original 16gb. I'm guessing due to the wp7 partition. How can I reverse that and get it back to the original 16gb. I've tried formatting it and everything.
Help please
You need to delete the individual partitions of your sd card and make it one big card again
maybe some software will help:
EASEUS Partition Master (Home Edition)
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition
There was a similar thread somewhere...anyway, the only way you can format your sd card back is to put it in a symbian device. It recognises it as broken an formats it. I personally confirm this with Nokia E71. Nokia n97 mini is also confirmed by other people. Since Symbian hasn't changed much in the past year i guess almost all devices from 2008 till now can format your sd card. Now you just need to find one.
You can do it using diskpart in vitsa / 7 just as effectively
Where do I find that disc part at on windows 7?
Google Panasonic sd formatter
Install and in options 'format volume size adjustment 'to on.
You dont need to do all that.
Just falsh an Android ROM onto your phone.
Once you have android up and running, go to Settings>Storage>Erase SD card.
This will un-mount your sd card and format it. Once its complete, it will see all the storage.
Keep in mind it will wipe whatever you have in your SD card.

I just did that and it didn't work for me. I had a 2GB card and it only formatted to 200MB. The card needs to be repartioned in order to regain the space that WP7 takes.
What I did was just stick the card in a USB card reader and used HPUSBDisk.exe on it. Worked out great, but I also unchecked the quick format option (not sure if that matters).
I have the same problem also.. If i understand correctly, we didn't put the SD card once we first boot the window 7. do these partitions method work? Thanks ahead

Great...work fine...
GParted should also work
Put ur sd card in ur computer
right click on it and click on format to fat32
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
formated with winmo 6.5 ..
I just bought 32GB sandisk sd and I tried every known way to create ext partition but every time I got the same, ıt creates an "OTHER" partition.
Please donot suggest these options.
UBUNTU 10.10 (I have dual boot on PC)
Mni Partition tool
Easeus Partition tool
CMW
I guess it is hardware (SD CARD) problem. do you know any sollition
Also I searched in forum, there is no same problem :S
am I only one who has THE problem??!!
no body? :/
Try partitioning your SD card through CWM. Keep in mind that doing this WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD!!
Go to CWM, choose advanced, partition SD card.
First choices are for EXT partition, choose 1024MB, 0 for Swap.
Once completed, mount usb storage, throw a backup or install your new rom.
I tryed that to but its no longer a problem I just broke it to 4-5 parts
Maybe try GParted, I partitioned my 8GB card with it.
I want that 32 gb card. T-T Sad... xD
Sorry about you having to waste your money on something that didn't work though. ._.
Well a 16 gb card will work.
experiencing the same problem - i have a 32GB card and when partitioned it is read as "OTHER" have no idea why 2GB, 4GB and 8GB will work but 32GB cant be partitioned to a2SD
need help fixing this problem
Hi guys I have a problem installing WP7 and my SD card ends with 200mb of 8 GB
First: I read a lot of posts about 200mb , about fix sd card, about this issue, but is not clear for me. So I looking for people can help me , not to bother me and say me google or search it. This people don't have nothing to do than spend time writing useless words.
I have an HTC HD2, every time I install a WP7 ROM after the first windows boot/ start , windows let my SD card of 8GB in 200mb, lot of people know that.
I try, format and partition the sd card after and before installation.
Windows format the SD after the first set up, and after that I try format or partition the SD again, but not work.
1 st question: I can read with windows 7 the files in the SD card ...? if I save some music or data.??? May be an aplication or something can read / write the SD.
If the first question is "yes" ... I find tutorials with how to format the sd card to use android, but I don't want use android , I want only WP7 and leave my memory with the full size, and can read / write files, like music , word , excel,etc. files.
Trying to do that I flash the WP7 like 6 times today...
I want, can use my SD Card Billy G !!!!!! LOL
Thanks guys for any advice or solution can give me.
Have you tried to format your SD card with a digicam? First I saw also the 200MB on the card in the digicam, when I formated it with the cam I saw the whole memory of 8 or 16GB.
Regards, Olli2.
format the card using a digital camera...thats the fastest way to do it....
No, I do not think you guys understand what he is saying. I think he wants to format once WP7 is installed and continue using WP7. WP7 does not support hot swapping cards. Once installed and formatted, it cannot be messed with if you want to continue to use WP7.
I can format the card
Thanks guys ....
I can format the card after I install the windows 7 with the boot menu of Magldr , but when I start the phone again windows tell me the Memory card can't be read, do a hard reset or change the memory, for a compilant one and force me to turn off.
I try differents ways, format the memory card to one partition of 200mb and the other partition with the rest of the unformated card, I try format to one big partition, I do the hard reset with the volume butoms , and start my phone and the same problem.Format to FAT 32.
I don't have a camera with this micro SD card..., you traying to tell me the windows 7 use a different file system than FAT32? BEcouse the 200MB partition is FAT16.
1)What happends if I install windows with no SD card??? and at the end of all the first windows set up( means widnows format my SD card to 200 mb, I install the SD card full size in the slot.? could be work?
2)But somebody can make work windows 7 ( only no dual boot) with a full size SD card( 8gb 16gb) , and can read/write/play music,videos or text files from the SD card...? or windows don't let you use the SDcard, or may be another aplication can on the marketplace, can do it.?
Thanks for the help...
That's all very strange to me. Every time I installed a WP7 ROM my issue was trying to GET the 200MB partition. (I dual boot android/WP7). What I suggest is to format your SD card, and make it one big UNFORMATTED partition. For example, if you use MiniTool Partition Wizard (i use that) make sure it's unformatted (a green square) as opposed to unallocated (grey square). Then when you flash WP7 it should have all of your storage.
You need to have your SD card in there when flashing the ROM. If not, and you try and insert the card afterwards, it won't recognize it.

See my answer above.....What you are trying to do cannot be done because WP7 does not support removable storage.
Also, you must use Zune software to alter the size of storage available to windows for mass storage device.
I don't get what's the problem... Let's better make some things clear:
When you install for the first time WP7 on HD2, the system will format your SD card, it doesn't really matter what kind of partitions you had earlier, everything is going to be wiped out.
WP7 will make 2 partitions on your SD:
1. [~200MB] FAT16
2. [Rest of the space] Unformatted
That's the way it should be. The partitions aren't visible under Windows, with some registry hacks in Windows 7, the card gets mounted as a media player, where you can throw the music or pictures.
After installing WP7 on your phone, go to Settings->About and check the line Total Storage, if you say you have a 8GB card, then there should be available about 6.5-7GB ...
Of course, all these things are in the most ideal case, when your SD card is compatible with WP7..
In case you want to get back to Android and your card is not recognized normally, connect your card to PC through a card reader (or MGLDR -> USB MassStorage) and format it through SDFormatter (Freeware), turning ON the FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT under Options..
After couple of months trying to make WP7 to work on my HD2 EU, i finally made it, had all kind of troubles with different cards.
1. SanDisk 2GB Class2 (Bundled with HD2) - could install WP7, card was recognized, after one day of using and installing several apps the system stars to crash, random reboots each 20 minutes or so.
2. Kingston 8GB Class4 (Bought 2 weeks ago) - WP7 installs but can't get over startup configuration, it stucks, rebootings and Hard Resets won't help (tried a bunch of different ROMs)
3. SanDisk 8GB Class4 (Bought 4 days ago) - WP7 installed perfectly, no rebootings and everything works till now, some bugs are showing up, but most probabil it's just Software/ROM related stuff..
nickriley thanks for all the info and explain to me this issue.
I have a Sandisk 8GB, and HD2 EU too, can you tell me the registry hack I need to do on the phone to can use the unformated like a media storage like you say...
"The partitions aren't visible under Windows, with some registry hacks in Windows 7, the card gets mounted as a media player, where you can throw the music or pictures.
"
Thanks a lot !!!!!!
No problems.
I couldn't find the guide on XDA forums, and as i'm a new user here i just found out that i'm not allowed to post external links Check your inbox..
Used the device in this way just a couple of times, as i'm using WP7 as main OS only during the last 3 days, but it worked, can copy from device and to device also..
Is there's a way to increase the FAT (200MB) partition ?
Please forgive me for reposting this but I cannot find the answer and it's driving me crazy.
I am running a dual boot HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 7 in NAND and Android on the SD card.
Windows Mobile 7 creates a dedicated and non-standard partition on the back half of the card.
Android is booting from a FAT-32 partition on the front of the card.
The partition table looks something like this for the 16GB Class 10 card I am using:
FAT-32 Partition from 0 to approx 7.3 GB set as primary.
Type 4 Partition from 7.3GB to the end of the card.
When running Android from a dedicated SD card the SD card can be found at /mnt/sdcard and everthing is hunky dorey.
However, when the Windows 7 partition is also on the card /mnt/sdcard is empty (there is nothing mounted there). All of the applications that look for an SD card cannot find it. I did find the entire contents of the SD card in /bootsdcard.
I tried creating a soft link between from /bootsdcard to /mnt/sdcard and that did not work.
Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks,
Mike

That is exactly the procedure I followed to get the dual boot to work at all on 1 SD card. That is how I got the two partitions.
Android boots from the SD card and works (I am using it every day). Android just doesn't think that there is an SD card installed for A2SD or any other SD card function.
Should I reduce the size of the FAT-32 partition and create another FAT-32 or EXT partition?
Help please, this is driving me crazy.
You have to start all over. Just save your data on both OS's. You should have only 2 partitions in the end FAT 32 for android and Other for Window 7. Make sure that Window 7 partition has a larger partition size than android, otherwise you will have a lot of errors. Hope this helps you out. J
I've done that twice. Everything works in Windows 7 the only issue is for some reason Android doesn't see the SD card that it is booting from.
What SD card are you using? I am using 32g Sandisk Class2. Everything works perfect on mine with the HD2. Perhaps it's the SD Card?

The card works fine for Windows 7 with or without the Android FAT-32 partition.
If the FAT-32 partition is the only partition on the card then Android sees the card correctly.
With both partitions Android (MCCMBoxmax V8.0) boots and runs from the card just fine with the exception that Android doesn't see the SD card that is was booted from. However, the card is mounted on /bootsdcard.
I even tried splitting the FAT-32 partition into a smaller FAT-32 partition and an EXT2 partition. That also did not work.
I have tried the following cards:
Samsung 16 GB Class 2 - MMB3R16GUACA-GE (replacement supplied by HTC)
Patriot 16 GB class 10 - PSFGMCSDHD10-BC
And like I said, both OS's work except for this one android glitch.
same problem for me...
Same problem for me too!
Additional info:
If i browse back to /sdcard i can see everything on my memory card. But there is nothing on /mnt/sdcard
Any help suggestions are much appreciated...

I had exact same issue on my previous dual boot setup on various cards and various roms. Prior to this I had no problems setting up a dual boot with WP/Android.
Okay, so this is probably not helpful, since I am very limited in my understanding, but others out there chime in if you know... I may be wrong but it seems that back when we only had Windows Mobile 6.5 with the ability to run Android from the sd card, it seems that there was this same limitation. I think that it is the case, because I remember in January when the ability to run Android from NAND first was released, I was all excited because we would finally be able to use our SD cards in Android correctly. In summary, I think it is due to running Android from SD... it doesn't recognize the SD card as an sd card because it treats it like the internal memory. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that.

However, the SD card works properly if there isn't a Windows Mobile 7 partition even when booting from the SD card.
Something about the Windows partition is messing up with the mounting of the SD card. I just don't know enough to figure it out.
load up a partition program and make sure both partitions are set to primary.

I installed WM7 on NAND, and Android 2.3.4 on SD Card. I followed the original steps as mentioned in this thread above, and have run into the same issue. That is, android is not able to recognize the SD Card. Now, my question is that can I just format (and delete) the first half of the sd card (the one that has android) .. and then create one Fat-32 and one ext-2 partition on that .. Will that work? I am trying to understand if I need to upset my windows installation at all ..
Also, I need to understand the role of Partition 1 and partition 2 above. I was of the understanding that the "Android" folder (ROM Files) should be loaded to the Fat32 partition. However, in this case it seems that the ROM files are kept in ext2 partition instead?
Thanks in advance, for your help
Can't get WP7 partitions created on reset
I have the US T-mobile HD2 loaded with WP7 7592 Green Mango with market place ROM and it runs fine on a 2GB Samsung card. I also have a class 4 Adata 32 GB card that I have a 14.4 GB FAT32 partition created for Android, and that runs without issue.

if i have read this right, this is not a dual boot problem, but a "I can't get WP7 to work with my 32GB sd card" problem.
It may be your card is not compatible with WP7
32 GB WP7 Compatible Cards
I guess that's right, but I have looked through posts and not found any list of 32GB class 4 or higher cards that are compatible. It seems that a lot of people are recommending sandisk cards. If that is the brand I need to go with I can. Thanks for the correction.
Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me, I've got WP7.5 install as a NAND installation, with Android 4.0.4 as a SD installation. Both work brilliantly, although I do have some slight problems.
Android won't detect an SD card installed, so I can't use some apps, that require an SD card to be present.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this, surely I'm not the only person in this position.
Cheers
I'm guessing it's because your SD has been formatted specially by WP, and Android can't read this. Your FAT32 partition is probably too small for anything to be stored in it.
The Fat32 partition is 1.6Gb.
Is it worth making that bigger, or creating another FAT32 partition?
Cheers
Hmm, I'd guess that you wouldn't have any more than 200-300MB free on your SD as read by SD Android then. I don't know how much an SD Android build takes up but the data.img is at least 1GB of that. As for increasing the partiton/creating a new one, I don't actually think that's possible without losing your data is it?
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I'm not too fussed about losing anything...
Here is what I have just tried without any success.
I have a 8Gb card partitioned like this.
1.*Gb
Primary, FAT32, (Android SD install)
2Gb
Primary, FAT32, (My hope would be that Android would see this as the SD card)
4Gb Other (WP 7 partition)
No luck unfortunately, any ideas?
Cheers
Are you sure you're using an 'unlockable' WP7.x ROM? If so, try formatting the storage card to normal and flash a Android build, see if it utilises the memory card like normal, if it does, then I would say that you're doing something wrong when setting it up.
Just double check each step of a tutorial (example: this one) twice and hopefully you'll only have to flash one more time.
Why do you have 2 fat 32 partitions ?...just use one fat 32 partition..in regular sd android....data image is used as internal memory and fat 32 part as sd card
I believe your second partition is not being recognised...make only one fat 32 partition you don't need two
