WP7 ate away my SD CARD!

---

So I tried using WP7 On hd2.
But I didn't like it as much as Android. So I reverted back to android. But guess what I only have 200mb on SD Card instead of 16gb. (I should have expected this I suppose)

Can anyone tell me how to restore my SD Card to 16gb? I am sure there are others who are curious as well.

Thanks

Try formatting the card, windows, winmo or android, try em, it might work.

Get an adapter, shove it in a camera and format it

cos wp7 creates an unknown format partition. use a partitioning program, see if you can delete the partitions (there will be two, one 200meg fat and one unknown format) then reset a new FAT32 partition for the full size.

Be careful in disk management, delete from the wrong disk and its hello to up-all-night-reinstalling-your-PC, hehe.

I've used geparted live cd...worked fine. You have to delete partition and re- format as any filesystem you want.

Use some common sense ffs, Read info before doing anything like this.

It CLEARY states that WP7 creates partitions on your card and anybody with half a brain would know to re-format card after using a different OS especially one that creates partitions.

While I agree that the OP is at fault for clearly not reading anything and just flashing (I read instructions and used a different SD card when I tried WP7 - it was VERY clear!!!), I don't see why you feel the need to be so offensive to him. That's just plain out of order man. Stop just dissing people. If you don't have anything constructive to say then just don't say anything.

This is a friendly forum. Be friendly.

Feel better about yourself after that?

Yup, I should have read about this before flashing but I had fun for a while and went back to Duttys Rom. However, I have 14gb of files and music on the card and a 200mb fat partition. Is there any way of at least retrieving the pictures and music before I reformat? Windows can only see the 200mb. Disk management shows the two partitions but won't let me delete the 200mb partition. Any suggestions?

I hope this guy doesn't treat his kids like that...."hey retard, go clean your room! It's the only way you'll learn"

The internet gives some people license to be morons unfortunately.

To the OP, I hope you get that fixed. If you find a way to fix it let us know which way worked for you in case we have to do the same thing to. I have a few SD cards but I don't want any of them to be rendered useless.

try using minitools partition wizard (home edition). delete both partitions so that each partition is displayed as a whole unpartitioned space and create a PRIMARY partition using fat32. your data was deleted when windows phone 7 was setting up for the first time. luckily i used another card but good luck


if you go bk to android leave a bit of space after when doing the primary fat32 and create a ext2 partition. its in the file system tab in the create partition bit
