Root Partitioning Problem

[urban_fox]

Hi,
I have been attempting to partition my 8gb sd card using minitool partition on my pc. I have a rooted samsung galaxy ace. [FONT=&quot] I have had no problem creating FAT32 partition (Left about 1gb for ext2 partition). However, when I go to create ext2, I am getting this message: "The new created partition cannot be used in windows.Because Windows could only recognize the first partition on a removable disk". Please tell me what's gone wrong.
Thanks,
uf [/FONT]

I don't see what problem you are having.
That message that shows simply means that if you create an ext2 partition through a windows machine then the windows will not be able to recognize it, and that is because ext2 is a linux partition format, it does not mean that it cannot create that partition. Windows will not be able to mount the ext partitions in mass storage mode like it does your fat32 partition, basically you will not be able to transfer data to that partition from your windows system.
Windows can recognize fat, fat32 and ntfs partitions, but not ext partitions.
Just click OK or whatever option it gives you to keep going forward and create the partition, its not an error, just a message.
