Android can't execute Apps off of a FAT32 partition. An SD Card (or a USB thumb drive) normally comes stock formatted FAT32. Android 2.2 (Ermine is more Froyo like) and above support a partitioned SD card, one partition being FAT32 and the other partition EXT. The larger partition is normally FAT32 and the smaller partition is EXT. The FAT32 partition is still used for universal access of data and the EXT partition is used by Android 2.2 and above for external App storage.

Is there a PC program that will do the above? I would like to maximize my use of the PE, and buy a 32gb card and partition it as above to run the apps from the SD card. What PC app do you suggest that will do this? (I run XP Pro SP3)
