Root How to swap a partitioned sd card?

Sak01

Android Expert
I've bought an 8Gb sd card to replace my current 4Gb one which has a 1Gb Ext3 partition on it.

What steps should I follow to transfer the contents, including the stuff on the ext partition, over to the new card?
 
Nandroid backup
Copy fat32 including hidden folders to.pc
Partition new card via usb mount in recovery.
Copy fat32 back
Nandroid restore
 
Got it. I'll stick with gparted but I could have sworn there was another way to partition.
 
Some recoveries do, but you have to have it already. There are other tools but Gparted is the best, by a long chalk.

If you dont fancy burning CD's you can set up VMware player. See new guide in my signature (red link)
