Root how to get rid of SD card partition

I just flashed to cm6 but I still have the partition created when flashing to Icarus. Does anybody know how to get rid of it since I won't be needing it anymore

Thanks before hand. All help appreciated


i just got done doing this.. and all i did was put the sd in an adapter and had windows format it,just be sure to copy all info you want on it to your pc.

Hook it up to your computer and copy all the files. Then unmount it and format your card through the SD settings menu.


Don't do this! Cm6 will leave you with a blank card! As in no format!

Go to any radioshack, wallmart/greens or any cell store/kiosk and drop 5 or 10 bucks on a card reader. You may find a good deal and get a spare 2g card for 10.

Either way don't use cm6.

You can use any thing that reads a microsd to format also.

I was about to do it hehe. My computer doesn't have the port for sd adapters that's why i was wondering if there's another way to format it besides using sd adapters

It won't let you. For me, It did not let me format it through CWM. It's better, safer and less problematic to just get yourself a cheap SD reader like Toke said. You might need it on a later date anyways. Just remember to format it to Fat32 and NOT NTFS.

Using CMR 2? When you install Icarus, the instructions tell you to format your sd card and it works fine.

Btw, I have adapters for my sd card, so I'm just asking questions to see if it will work.

Edit: I meant CWM 2 lol.

I still have 2.5.1.8 but, I was trying through cm6 and cm7. Neither one would let me format the card, Much less the ext. X_X I ended up formatting it on the computer.

Also, When you format the card PRE-Icarus you are usually stock/rooted. Once the Sd-Ext is already there it gives you problems if you switch roms. At least mine did.
