Mi name is Michael! Hope you have a great new years eve and new year! I was wondering if someone can bring me some help Thanks in advance for all of your efforts and answers!
I have a Android Matricom G-Tab Quantum Tablet with 1gb internal Memory (tablet and system Space) and a 16 gb internal storage.
I was running out of space in the 1gb memory and since android doesnt use the interal storage just for pics and videos I decided to partion it so I could move with link2sd some apps.
I partioned the 16gb interal storage using MiniTool Partition wizard like this:
The pc show that the sd card has a fat32 partition of 8gb and it lists 8gb as the whole space of the sd card so its missing the space from the ext4 partition but when I open the Minitool Partition wizard it only displays the 8gb fat32 partition as the "whole" space and only partition of the sdcard no signs of the ext4 partition(or it's space)
I put the sdcard on a Linux based system too look for the ext4 partition but with no effort Gported only shows the fat32 partition just like Minitool Partition Wizard!
Also everytime from then I connect the tablet to the pc it also reads a second disk of 1kb but you cant open it or format it! I'm suspecting this has something to do but I dont know what do with it!
Now in the tablet it only display the 363 mb as internal storage but I cant seem to access it from anywhere I dont know where this 363 partition cames from. If I put files on the 8gb partition I cant access them on the device! and If I boot to recovery (Stock android recovery) And try to open a file from the "internal Sd card" it says: "Cant mount /sdcard" and if I insert an external sd card I can only access it from the recovery but from the device it always shows the 363mb as the only storage. Also I cant seem to download anything on this 363 mb partition! :S
I also noted if I open the storage folder with a rooted file explorer It reads the next folders:Sdcard0,Sdcard1,Sdcard2,extsd,usbhost.
and I remember that before all of this happened the sdcard2 folder didnt exist.
I have tried the next apps to "restore" my internal sd card back to its full size but none of them have work:
I also tried a bit of testdisk but I dont uderstand that much that appliacation supposedly it restored my partition table but I cant see diference.
I also tried restoring the phone to fabric point! but its still the same!
UPDATE: If I connect the tablet as an media system I can access the 363 mb storage!
UPDATE2: I inserted a 2 gb external sd card and it reads the external sd card, so I partitioned the sd card (1gbfat and 1gbext2) and when I inserted it back it only read 354 mb just as the internal sd card! Also If I connect the tablet with the external sd card to the pc! It only list the 1gbfat partition and doesnt list its ext2 partition nor the internal sd card! I went back and deleted all partition from the external sdcard and inserted again and now it displays it 2 gb size correctly!
Is there a different way to access the internal sd card and format it back to one partition ?
Thanks in advance for your help! Sorry for my English its not my main language! If you need more details just ask me!

I partioned the 16gb interal storage using MiniTool Partition wizard like this:
- 8 gb fat32 as primary partition
- The rest as a ext4 partition!
The pc show that the sd card has a fat32 partition of 8gb and it lists 8gb as the whole space of the sd card so its missing the space from the ext4 partition but when I open the Minitool Partition wizard it only displays the 8gb fat32 partition as the "whole" space and only partition of the sdcard no signs of the ext4 partition(or it's space)
