[TUT] SD card partitioning

SD card partitioning

----------------------------------------------------------------

using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

Simplest way is to use "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" from http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html

This tool is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista & Windows 7

requirements: USB SD Card reader.

pull SD card from phone, insert into USB SD Card reader. Windows should report new drive and content of the drive should be visible.

• step 1: delete old partitions on SD card

Note: this partition manager QUEUES the operations. So nothing is deleted and changed UNTIL you click "APPLY" and then confirm by clicking "OK".

WARNING!

Make sure you are deleting partition on SD card! (not your hard drive for example)
This step deletes everything on SD card, so backup files first!
Dont be afraid, just read everything and think twice before selecting correct drive.
Do you see three gray icons on the bottom? Under each of them the capacity of each drive is listed, and SD CARD has slightly different icon.
Hard drives on the screenshot have 465.8GB and 74.5GB, and on the bottom, the SD card, with 3.8GB capacity.

• step 2: create FAT or FAT32 partition

select "Create As": PRIMARY

Select "File System:" FAT when you have 2GB or smaller card.
Select "File System:" FAT32 when you have 4GB or greater card.

• step 3: create ext2 or ext3 or swap partition*

select "Create As": PRIMARY

Select "File System:" ext2 - for App2SD [LINK2SD]
OR
Select "File System:" swap to make swap

If you want to create both: do not assign all the space for the first one this way you will have space for creating second one.

• step 4: finish

finally, click "apply" button on top left corner.
partitions will be created and card will be formatted.

[bizarre6_teddy]

Boss thank you sa tut mo. Napagana ko na link2sd app ko.

 

[danielcf]

for the tut.

 

[jimboy29]

try ko later.. hitted khit hindi ko pa natetesting.. hehe..

 

[rexon]

bakit po tayo mag papartition? ano po ang advantage?

 

[hehe13]

may mga pinag ggamitan, tulad nung link2sd ska app2sd..

kung may 8gb sd ka.. kailang mong mag set ng ext2 kung san pwedeng i.move ung mga apps... recommended na partition daw prasa 8gb = 6gb [fat32; set as primary] + 2gb [ext2; set as primary]

ndi ggna ung link2sd pag ndi ka nka partition...
ndi mbbsa ng cp mo na nka partition ks
ndi nia mbbsa ung ext2
ndi mbbsa ng pc [windows OS] ung partition [ext2] [except daw salinux and partition tools]
khit mag format ka andun pa din un partition at ndi mbubura..

[rexon]

-ahh,,kung ganon po ba kung icoconnect ko po ba ang cp ko sa pc ko eh magagamit ko pa rin ba yung mga apps sa CP ko po?

-bibilis rin po ba ang CP ko nito?
-ano po pa po ba ang ibang advantage nito?

 

[hehe13]

ung una mong tnong mlabo? kya mo bang mglro ng games pag nka conect ka sa PC? pwede pa din nmn , pag tanggal mo ng cp mo..

bblis? d ko sure... kc ayon sa pag aralng mga dalubhasa, mas konti ang internal memory mas mabilis daw ito.. kya kung mapapanatilimong maluwag ang internal memory mo ay mukng may malaki itong epekto.. =]

advantage? pra sa mga gumagamit ng android 2.1 below, wla silang kakayahang mag install ng file sa SD.. nilikha ang appna ito pra tugunan ang kanilang [aming] pangangailangan... pra sa hirap mag app2sd, isa itong lunas.. isang tap lamang ang kailangan...

at dahil jan dpat plitan ang pangaln nito.. karapdapat lamang cing twagin na TAP2SDhehe13

 

[unban007]

kailangan din bang may Link2SD nga apk file na naka lagay sa SD card para mapagana e2?

 

[jhunbautista]

Susubukan ko to bukas. Salamat dito. . .

 

[hehe13]

kailangan din bang may Link2SD nga apk file na naka lagay sa SD card para mapagana e2?

application po ung link2sd... kailangn mo munang ma partition SD mo bgo mpagana ung link2sd..

isang appliction lang un link2sd na gumagamit ng ext2 or partition...

 

[cmangalos]

ingat po ng konti sa link 2sd ha,
anyway, in my investigation, i found out na sa internel memory 2mb lang yung read nya sa sd tool,. nakakapag taka ang baba,
so if you have class 6 sdcard, and naka link to sd ka, AFAIK bibilis ang unit mo,
not sure though depende pa din sa specs talaga yun,

 

[hehe13]

kuya anu pong ibig sabihin mo sa "i found out na sa internel memory 2mb lang yung read nya sa sd tool" ska "AFAIK bibilis ang unit mo" ... pa explain po, nraramdaman kong inmportante to, kso jargon skin.. haha13

 

[cmangalos]

down load ka ng sd card tool na ireread nya yung read and write speed ng sdcard mo,
nakalimutan ko lang yung name nung app na yun,
naitry ko siya, yung sd card ko 6.7mb which is true kasi class 6 yung sd card ko,
then yung option na internal memory yung ichecheck , 2.3 mb lang sya tried it again pero internal memory yun lang ang reading nya eh ,
this is not yet concluded since sa specs pa din talaga yung labanan when it comes to speed per-se at the best pa din talaga ang tweak na data2ext
