[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] stpdkid:
hello guys,

i wanna share to you guys how to make a partition in external sdcard/MicroSD for Windows user. Dunno if this already post in XDA, didn't do a research

just to remind, do this with your own risk!

now, what we need :

1. PC/Laptop

2. microsd/sdcard with capacity 2gb/4gb/8gb/16gb/32gb

3. microsd adapter or card reader.

4. Minitool Partition Wizard http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

there's another tool called gparted but this tut only use Minitool Partition

5. a ciggy and a cup of coffee :)

before we go through, don't do this while you're drunk, so sleepy or in hurry..:)

now, i assume that the minitool partition already installed on your pc/laptop and the sdcard is empty.

let's begin....

1. put your sdcard into adapter or card reader

2. open the minitool partition wizard software.(pic 1)

3. right click in sdcard (pic 2--i use 8Gb) and click delete. after that your sdcard will look like pic 2-1 as "unallocated" (becareful to choose the drive!!)

4. right click and click create (pic 3)

5. in create new partition choose "primary" (dont use logical) and change the "file system" to "Fat32".(pic 4 & pic 4-1)

6. in partition size you change to what you need. if you want to swap 1gb then change the "partition size" make your "unallocated space after" to 1024mb(pic 4-2).

(i dunno exactly the space that fit with but i use 1gb, if you dont know either you can ask to our dev or mr. pep) after that click ok

7. now you can see the 1gb seen as unallocated(pic 4-3)

8. right click and click create again at the unallocated(1gb) will be a warning that "the new created partition cannot b used in windows" click "yes" (pic 5)

9. now change the "logical" to "primary" (if you choose logical then your phone will probably got a black screen or black screen with battery icon+lock icon after you flash a new cusrom) (pic 6)

10. Change the NTFS to ext2/ext3/ext4 (if you want to install link2sd/s2e from market you can choose ext2 and/or ext4, for me i choose ext4 because i use s2e) and click ok. (pic 6-1)

now there are 3 operations pending in the left side (pic 6-2)

11. click "apply" and "yes". (pic 6-3)

12. now take your ciggy and drink your coffee and wait 1-2 minute untill the successfull pop up then click ok(pic 6-4). close minitool program.

- this ext* will not shown on windows, only on linux base OS.(you can see it on Windows by using some software, i.e : linux reader or raise data recovery, etc)

- use sdcard adapter/card reader

- if you wanna move your app just use link2sd or s2e free on market.

- in this tut i use ext4 just for example to you guys if you choose s2e, but it is not a must for you to choose ext4,.for faster read/write sd choose ext2(see post 2 by pep)

this is just a tutorial for those who dont know and dont understand how to make partition/swap and for those who dont want to swap the phone's internal<-->external. do this before go to Pristine Method

swap thing is too risky for class4 microsd,
