Root unable to d/l apps after partitioning sd card

[riverkid090]

I have partitioned my SD card using Gparted live cd, I haven't install any Rom yet, I am still looking for the right one.
Now I can't install or update any apps from Market.
is this normal? Error msg I got says Unable to find internal or SD card storage.

Did you partition the card correctly? i.e EXT After FAT32?

Can you see the SD card in a PC. Can you browse it using a file manager? What does it say i teh sd card and storage menu? Is the SD card mounted correctly?

 

[riverkid090]

I can see the sd card from ASTRO

 

[riverkid090]

Under SD & Phone Stroage, it shows
TOtal Space 3.67GB, Avaliable Space 2.52GB (my is a 4GB SD).

Internal Phone Storage 28.10 MB

Try clearing data on market via manage applications?

 

[riverkid090]

I cleared out the Market data and download an apps. It still said Installation Error: Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD Card

 

[riverkid090]

How can I see it from PC?

 

[SUroot]

when you plug phone in to USB, you have to mount it when prompted.

i set the phone as Disk Drive, then go to Device Manager, didn't see my phone located on directory.

I dont know on that one. I would run it through gparted again personally, formatting both FAT and ext

 

[riverkid090]

Yes, I did format SD card to FAT 32, and EXT 3 when doing the partition

 

[SUroot]

Im suggesting doing that a second time

You've probably already tried this, but I had to reboot my phone after using GParted, before the phone would see the FAT partition.

 

[SUroot]

The phone should have been in recovery when it was partitioned anyway.

If not, definitely reboot. In fact reboot never hurts

 

[riverkid090]

my phone was running in normal screen while doing the partition. should i boot my phone into Hboot screen when doing the partition?

I believe you should be in recovery and mount drive when you partition.

Yes from SU's guide
3) Connect your device in Recovery mode and mount as USB mass storage
