Root SD Card change problems

I decided to go from a 16g to 32g card. Thought I could just make a temp folder on my PC and move everything from the 16g to there then pop the 32g in the X and move everything over. Not so. There seem to be many things that must originate from the phone or a download to work. Anyway I have solved most of the issues however I do have one big problem. I can make a nandroid of my present setup and everything seems to go fine. Clockworkod says it a success bur for some reason I can't find the backup anywhere. Also I notice that I do not have a clockworkmod folder on my SD Card. Any help please?

That is strange, I changed to a 32GB card a few months ago and all I did was drag everything from the old card to the new one and it worked fine.
 
The card is a class 4 Kingston. I think i will format it outside the X then try again.

Airmaxx what brand and class are you using?
 
I tried 4 times to copy the contents of my sd card to my pc and every time I tried my pc told me a folder was too long to copy it? I know what it's telling me, that the file name is too long and renaming it to a shorter name will do the trick, but for the life of me I cant find the folder its talking about. Is there hidden files and folders on our sd card much like on a pc?
 
Ok I got my 32g card all set up. Seems the problem was my old as sh... computer. I used another computer to transfer the folders from the 16g to the 32g card. I still have a big problem though. When I make a backup of my current rom every thing seems fine. It says backup complete. but when I go to find the backup it not on my SD Card. Using ROM manager I can't find it and looking through my Astro File manager I can't find it. Any suggestions?
 
Stupid question time: Did you allow android to format your sd card before you did the changeover?
 
Well I formatted the card using the X and then moved all the files over but I still have the same problem. I did notice that when doing a backup its not generating a md5. It says it is but its barely even taking a second to complete where on my 16g card it takes 5 or more seconds to generate the md5 sum.
 
I would re-flash the recovery, reboot, flash recovery again, reboot and go from there. That has worked on all of my previous phones when having difficulty with nandroid
 
Thanks for the help. I did as you prescribed and it looked like all would work but for some odd reason when i attempted a backup it would frre about half way through. However I have solved the problem. I formatted the the SD Card and then the first thing I did was flash clockworkmod recovery. That seems to have corrected the problem. Now I will just rebuild my other data slowly.

Thanks to all for your help.
