Hi all. I came across a useful USB mod, it allows almost all tablets to charge from typical phone charge sources (500 -to- 1000 ma), you can buy premade units ( ebay USB-sync-PC-can-charge-Extension-Black-Cable-Fo-Samsung-Galaxy-P1000-P7500-P7510-/221367870752 )I've also had some use when using a eBay USB voltage regulator ( ebay LM2596-DC-Power-Supply-Adjustable-Converter-Step-Down-Module-LED-Voltmeter-USB ) for my thermoelectric projects, I noticed the regulator would only output 500 ma from USB port, this device increased it for me. Anyhow, I soldered one together from other peoples descriptions and diagrams. Problem is they weren't easy to decipher, so I created one.

Sorry im not allowed at this point to attach outside links - so you will have to search eBay yourself to see what I'm talking about in brackets.

I have a 2GB SD card. My o2 mini prompt me to format it when inserted. After formatted. o2 mini shows 0.01 MB only.

"My computer using card reader shows 14KB and from Disk Management, it shows 1.86 GB Free. I believe this "1.86GB Free" means unallocated space.

I right click on the unallocated space, but there is no option for me to choose a Primary Partition. It only has 3 options.

"New Logical Drive...",

"Delete Partition...", which is grayed out and

"Help".

Help! How to allocate this 1.86GB and format it to fat32?

Any kind soul please help me get this 2GB SD card to work with my o2 mini. 1.86GB and not 0.01MB.

partitioning 4GB help

Hi,

I've followed you instructions (great job, btw) HOWTO partition SD card....using the file download WM5torage.cab For some reason, I cannot get past the part after clicking on ACTIVATE immediately after inserting the SD Card. My MDA (TMobile Wiz) keeps locking up and I have to do a soft reset. I've tried reformatting the 4GB Mini SD card a few times and I've actually gotten different results. My last format (FAT32) shows (on PC) 1930MB free and 1931MB used which befuddles me. I formatted it again and it showed 3.78 GB free. Perhaps you or someone could assist me if possible. I bought the Mini SD card off eBay from a reputable seller. It was suppossed to be a Samsung 4GB Mini SD card and I was a bit surprised when it arrived as a SanDisk. Any idea as to why the phone keeps locking up? I also wonder if there might be an issue with the card...I examined the back of the card where the contacts are with magnification :eek: and the sides of the black composite show traces of perhaps an epoxy or bonding agent...I think SanDisks QC is better than that. To make things easier, you can also email me at honestrader@aol.com

I tried to use the program wm5storage but when I go to computer management there is not recognition of the 4 gig sd, nor is there any recognition of an sd when using my pda.

I have had some success with 4 GB cards from IntegrityElectronics and TopRam on my T-Mobile MDA running latest TMO ROM.

The problem I am running into a when using apps that are installed on the card and write dat to the card, other files get corrupted and render those applications unsuable. If I limit use to playing MP3 and videos, thing tend to stay stable.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] memorito:
Ok, I used the storage program to access the card. Then with the disk

management on XP I formatted the card as FAT for the entire 4gb card.

It looks like it worked. I copied all my files to it. Everything is running.

I have done several restarts with no problems...

Hope it stays so.

Good luck folks. I will report back if anything weird happens.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] memorito:
Ok. So it all got completely screwed.

I guess it got corrupted. My guess is when

I started using the camera. All of a sudden

there are only blank folders on the storage

card with a period as the names. Tons of them.

Nothing else. Any ideas?

And now I cannot get wm5storage to work.

It keeps telling me that something is accessing

the card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] memorito:
It seems the problem was that there was a hidden Recycler folder on the storage card that would not let me use wm5storage. Probably from

Resco File Explorer... Deleted that with my PC...

Somehow magically my pc read the card. I don't know how to explain

that seeing as it was formatted in FAT not FAT32...

Then wm5storage worked and I paritioned it into 2 halves.

Lets see how that goes.

I hope, well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] someguysomewhere:
This may be a silly question but...

Can't you plug the micro SD into a card reader and use Windows XP Disk Management tool (or any other partintioning tool) to create the partition on the storage card? What's WM5Storage actually doing?

I tried, but disk management tool doesn't show 'delete partition' (it shows on other disks, even on RAID5 arrays). I tried partition magic, but PM won't even detect the whole card.

The card (topram brand) works fine with my 6700; my only concern is camera and several other progs detect the card as full.

I haven't test OP's method though. I need to replace this card because the top part is loose when I received it, and finally came off when I tried to remove it from my phone.

I really hope there is a simple registry fix. Because I prefer to use folders than partition the card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sambartle:
I don't have an SD card adapter handy to try it right now.. but the command line windows XP tool DISKPART usually can handle things like this.. (it can delete some types of recovery partitions that are marked so that disk management wont go near them)

Open up a command prompt and type diskpart to run it. Theres some inbuilt help I seem to rememeber..

my new 4gb sd card was too slow with my prophet under fat32. it is faster with fat16, but the clustersize would have become 64kb!!

with this guide i managed to create two 2gb fat16 partitions with much smaller clustersize and filetransfers on my prophet are much faster now :)

thx a lot for this guide!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I've done it on linux (ubuntu)

I used linux partition tools, gnome partition editor to format my sd drive to fat32 to see if it is better than fat16. I used wm5torage. Copied files to computer then back to sd and things are ok . My card is really slow anyways :(, I guess it was an old 1gig. better than none :)

i've got the mda vario (wizard, G3, cpu OMAP850) for ... 1,5 years or something...since: 09/29/2005 (rom 1.2.3.2 NLD).

buyed a 4gb mini sd from emtec. pocket pc doesnt see the card.. my old cardreader doesnt see the card to. So I buyed a new cardreader and now my pc can connect and write/read from the card. I've formatted in all many ways and tried it..but the pocketpc isnt recognising it. I've tried it with wm5storage to but...as i say before... my pocketpc doesnt recognize it so wm5storage says: "cant open card".

I have try partition magic & diskmanagement (windowsxp) but couldnt remove or split the partition.

I am looking for another solution now:

- updating rom?

- tool for windows to mount the sd card as usb disk (got a working card reader: sweex CR004) <-- so without using the pocketpc

- diskpart doesnt see it as a DISK, only as a VOLUME:

Volume ### Ltr Label FS Type Grootte Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 E SUPER_WINPE CDFS Dvd-rom 638 MB
Volume 1 D Dvd-rom 0 B
Volume 2 C NTFS partitie 34 GB In orde Systeem
Volume 3 G Games & Ove NTFS partitie 114 GB In orde
* Volume 4 F KOEN FAT32 Verwisselb 3900 MB
Volume 5 H Verwisselb 0 B
Volume 6 I Verwisselb 0 B
Volume 7 J Verwisselb 0 B

translation/explanation: Verwisselb = Removable / partitie = partition / In orde = OK(working/fine)

Volume 4 (F:\) is the cardreader -> minisd card.

PLEASE HELP me to get a working solution, buyed many things now (card: 70 euro / cardreader 20 euro) and still cant do a thing :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LordDeath:
do you still have a warranty? maybe the card has an error and it can't be fixed :confused:

Hi aljamil,

I don´t know if the tool works on your ppc - but you can easily do the same procedure if you just put your 8GB SD Card in a card reader and connect it to your pc ;-)

After your pc has detected the card reader as a new drive you do what TheBlasphemer described.

Problem Partitioning

I tried the partition of a 4GB mini sd and now it only reads as 2bg total. Is there a way to fix this or am I screwed?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Belka77:
Issues

Same here. I was able to create 2 partitions of 2 Gb each on my 4Ggb sd card. Formatted 1st as Fat 32 = OK, however I was never been able to format the second partition: formatting would hang for a long time and at the end message " Formatting not succesfull" would popup. After that - I was stuck, couldn't delete the second partition or reformat it. The only way to get my 4 G back was to run an HP USB Disk Storage Format tool. That actually deleted the second (unformatable) partition and I was able to at least get my 4 GB back. I started looking at the partitioning after folders on my new SD card got corrupt. Since then I reflashed a different rom and now it seems to be OK (keeping my fingers crossed). Will see if Camer app or some other app will get it corrupt again, then i am going to try partitioning again.

Let me know if you need the HP ... tool and I'll post it.

One step closer....

Hi,

I like what you have done with regards partitioning. It would appear to be the first step towards my ultimate goal of creating virtual dvd images on my device. There is a lot of software out there to create video files out of dvds, but nothing to emulate one. I have a few educational dvds that are menu driven with hyperlinks to sections of the video that can't be met simply with video files.

I think that this might be the first step in achieving nirvana!

Do you have any thoughts about windows mobile mounting and running iso files?

Hi,

Excellent post. I have one question. What is the importance of WM5storage? What will happen if i dont use it? I have 16Gb storage card... and i know what you mean by the camera messing up on free space. Waiting for your response before i work on this.

One more thing... will 4gb each partition be too big for camera? I do not wish to use a 2GB partition as it will be small for my needs.

Thanks again.... cheers...

EDIT: I tried doing it without wm5storage... when i'm in administrative tools/disk management (xp sp3)... the partition options are greyed out and inactive. I understand this is old thread... but can someone help?

Thanks... cheers...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Captain_Throwback:
The importance of WM5torage is that it mounts your SD card as a hard disk, not a removable drive, which allows you to partition it.

However, it should be noted that this thread is quite old. Your device (Topaz) has a slot that handles SDHC cards up to 32GB with no problem, so there's no real need for you to partition it. This is more designed for older devices that can only read SD cards up to a certain capacity. Though, you might find it useful if you use navigation software on your SD card, and want to keep it on a separate partition so that you can access your other files more quickly when navigating through your Storage Card. Or you could even add a 3rd partition to separate your music, phots/pictures, etc - but at some point the device may get confused with Storage Card 2, 3, etc. to read from and your device may end up lagging.
