unable to partition SD!!

**abhinavjha** · 06-10-2011, 11:42 AM

i am honestly not sure what the problem is:
i entered recovery (CM 2.5) and tried to partition my SD as ext....1024M,64M swap...it showed me "Done!" all right.
but when i tried to mount sd-ext / format sd-ext, it gave me an error saying the ext partition does not exist,nor did it show up in app2SD (available mem on SD=89Mb).
I talked with Jay and he suggested it might be a problem related to SGM, so i switched to CM, but still no use..
what do i do?
i need to partition it as spica's internal mem is honestly too low.....any help guys??

abhinavjha,

did you first formatted the sd card on the PC in FAT32 format?
the same happened to me because I was not on the pc formatted in FAT32.

My sd is pre-formatted as FAT32
