I burned an image of touch nooter on a kingston 4gb micro sdcard using Win32image. I right clicked the drive of the card on Win7 and did a full and quick format to erase the image. When I wiped out the touchnooter image from the card, it gave me a space of only 76mb and not the whole 4gb default space.
Any suggestions oh how to get the full 4gb storage back?
Start - Run - diskmgmt.msc
Find your SD card there (Removable G: for example)
You will see it has 2 or more partitions.
Delete all partitions and then create new Simple volume from one big unallocated space you got and format it to FAT32.
Make sure you are deleting partitions of your SD card or you can kill all your data and system.

I went to disk management but I could only see one partition for the card.
You can use an android device to format the card back to normal. If the nook touch is the only android device you have do this.
Put the sd card in the nook touch
tap the n button on bottom
tap 'settings'
tap 'Device Info'
tap 'SD Card'
tap 'Unmount SD Card', if it is available
tap 'Format SD Card' when it is available
after it does it make sure unmount SD card is not highlighted then you can pull the SD card back out.
You can use SDFormatter for windows to fix your SD card and get the total space visible again.
Cheers

This method worked. Great guideline. Thanks.
I tried SDFormatter too but no go.
I had the same problem after rooting but I solved it by using SDFormatter in Windows (version: SDFormatterv3.0.zip ).

To begin with, I recently messed up my 4GB SD Card. Why? I was not paying attention on details when I was reformating the SD Card. The end result was my 4GB SD Card turned into a 1GB SD Card. I was not worried for my SD Card has life time warranty, so my ultimate solution would be to just have it exchanged. But being a very curious dude, I started experimenting for a solution and found one.
OBSERVATIONS:
1st: AKU2 ROMs prefer SD Cards with FAT format. Thus, you can use 4GB SD Cards without any problem.
2nd: AKU3 ROMs can use both SD Cards with either FAT or FAT32 format. But I would still STICK WITH THE FAT FORMAT.
SOLUTION TO MY ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM: (You think a simple reformat will solve it using the menu under "My Computer" using a card reader, it did not work on mine.) So here are the steps on what will work:
1st: You need WM5torage installed to your Universal's Internal Memory. I'll attach a copy at the end of this post.
2nd: You need your Universal.
3rd: Place the troubled SD Card to your Universal's SD Card slot.
4th: Make sure in WM5torage, both "Read Only" and "Removable Class" is UNTICKED.
5th: Activate WM5torage.
6th: Connect your Universal via USB.
7th: From this point on, all the steps below will be done on your computer.
8th: Wait for "My Computer" to show the presence of the SD Card.
9th: Go to Start>Control Panel>Performance & Maintenance>Administrative Tools>Computer mangement.
10th: Click on Disk Management.
11th: Scroll and highlight the drive you want to repair or format.
12th: Right click on selected drive and select FORMAT.
13th: You can rename the volume label if you wish.
14th: Make sure file system is FAT format.
15th: Allocation unit size is DEFAULT.
16th: Check the box for QUICK FORMAT.
17th: Select OK.
There you go. I now got back my full 4GB SD Card and fully operational on my Universal. Wheeeeeeewwww!
You might want to replace steps 8 to 11 with the following
7th: Wait for "My Computer" to show the presence of the SD Card.
8th: From this point on, all the steps below will be done on your computer.
12th: Right click SD Card and select FORMAT.

SD Card issue
Great work,
I don't have this issue, but it is always nice to keep in mind
Thanks,
Leo
will this work with a card that is no longer recognised (doesnt think there a card there) due to a format error?

YES, tried this too with my very old 2GB card that I screwed up long ago and thought it was gone for good. Plus, it won't hurt to try.

i tried this but my sd card didnt show up. also what I was thinking could be the problem is my rom it is 1.12.38 which is old
Hi guys
I think my SD card is not compatible, tho, the installation went trough fine.
When i check device free space, it only provides the ROM space, ie 178MB, altho my card is 2 GB.
I want to buy a new 4GB card.
Can i just then run MADLR again, and reflash the same ROM?
I dont want to brick my device.
Thanks alot!
This is normal, WP7 creates a partition on the SD card which uses all the card except approx. 200mb. If you go to "Settings" and "About" you will see the Memory Card size reported, which should be approx. 1.8GB
To insert a new SD card:
1. With old SD card inserted "reset" the device and boot into MAGLDR by holding down the "END" key as soon as your device starts to reboot
2. When MAGDLR has loaded insert the new SD card
3. Select "Boot WPH" from the MAGLDR menu and the device will reset itself up using the new mem. card.

One of the easiest ways is to format the card from the device. If you are still on the B&N OS, insert the SD card into the device when it already fully started. Then press the on screen launcher, select ”Settings,” then “Device Info,” then “SD Card,” and then just select “Unmount SD card” followed by “Format SD card.” If you running CM 7, the directions are similar, press the menu key, then select “Settings,” locate the SD card menu, and then just unmount and format.
Hi, I have opted to use my sd card as "portable storage" rather than adopting it as "internal storage"
But it doesn't work as expected. Such as
1. Apps which previously allow data to be stored on sd card ( such as stock camera ), now simply
stores it in phone memory even though in the app, settings point to sd card.
2. All apps cannot be moved to sd card. Previously under lollipop, some apps can.
Cant find any options to do so under settings->storage & usb OR settings->apps. Is it still possible.?
If yes, what do I need to do?
Thanks
rooting will help ....!!! but dont know how to root.... ??? normal step of rooting not working.....
found this in lenovo forum:
In Marshmallow, you need to format you SD card as internal storage in order to move apps and that to all apps are not movable.
To make changes you can go to : Settings -> Storage -> Click on "SD Card" -> More -> Format as internal
Note : Make sure to take data backup before formatting your SD card, as all data from SD card will get erased when formatting.

Out of scope.
He's asking how to use sd card as 'portable storage' and not 'internal storage'.
I did the same for the camera, and photos/videos are stored in sd card, please check again.
In these 6.0 version for k3, no option in settings to move apps, but maybe will arrive later..
for some apps, you can move data from internal to sd card (like sygic).
Marshmallow another screwed fcuk, format as 'internal storage' r only options for moving apps/games to sd card.
Without the Storage menu, it is now impossible to directly format any new SD card to work with the Ultratablet, because as we all know Remix seems to have trouble recognizing any new SDXC card inserted into it until you let it format the card. Without the Storage menu, the option to format an SD card is missing (or hidden, who knows). For now the only workaround is to insert your new (or recently formatted) card into a PC and formatting it as NTFS. But that is not ideal. Please consider adding the old Storage menu again.
A very stripped version of the Storage menu is available in the File Manager app under Settings.

Yes, but unfortunately it doesn't help with the problem of unrecognized SD cards. In the old menu you could format an unrecognized—"damaged" according to Remix—card so that it would work properly, but in this new menu it simply presents no format option or even seems to be aware that there is a card present.
