after rooting, microsd won't resize

---

So I went through the process of rooting the nook color tonight, and got everything working great.

However...now my 16gb microsd is a 40mb microsd. I'm sure I'm an idiot, and I'm missing something...but how the heck do I talk this thing into being a 16gb card again?

(it's the card I made into the bootable nooter image, in case this isn't coming through clearly)

Here is how I did it.

1.type 'diskpart' in the run prompt

this will bring you to a DOS prompt

2.type 'list disk'

this will list all the volume available

3.type 'select disk #'

in the #, use the number from your SD Card

4.type 'list partition'

it'll probably be partition 1, be just to be sure

5.type 'select partition #'

select the bootable SD Card partition

6.type 'delete partition'

now the 40mb partition is deleted and you can reformat under Disk Management

that didn't work for me, but it jogged my memory enough to find disk management in windows 7, and delete the partition. Thank you!

I just put my SD card back in the nook. Once there I unmounted it and formated it. got my 4 Gb back. Nice and easy.

I did the same thing.

I tried that, but didn't have success, hence the question and workaround.

If you're using a windows machine try download the official SD Formatter from:

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

It will wipe out all your partitions and formats the card using 32kb allocation units vs the standard windows 4096 which gives better read/write performance.

this worked for me thanks
