You done something WRONG. You have partitioned your SD. In what format they are(partitions)and how big is your SD?

CHEERS!

I am using 4GB Card..
First Partion is for FAT32 say ~3.5 BG
Second Partition is for ext4 ~.5 GB..

I also tried other way around..means First ext4 and then FAT32..

OK, but you spelled little wrong(3.5gb and 5gb=8.5gb). Not matters. Try to make NOT ext4, but ext2. And but them both like PRIMARY PARTITIONS.

CHEERS!

.. Dude just reverse the partition order... first fat then ext... worked for me as windows does not recognise ext and may be if you have partitioned ext4 and your current rom does not support it (or mount it) it would say damaged SD.

not sure but i have formated my sd card many times. sometimes that tools gone crazy. i suggest u select the sd card in minitools and run 'wipe' first by click in menu partition->wipe partition. than u can format like it should.

btw my laptop cannot read if my sd card partition fat32 + ext4. it asking me to format again if wan to open (in my computer). but other laptop can open.

Jep, make SECOND partition ext2 and FIRST FAT32. And both PRIMARY PARTITIONS(like matrixloaded sayed).

CHEERS!

Thanks to both of u...

What rom are you on? I believe that's the first thing that matters.
