Hi!

Just rooted the gadget - looking good so far.
But unless I get the partitioned SD recoginsed, the cras&burn will be looming near..

Used minitool wizard to do the partitioning.
I deleted all partitions off a class 4 4Gb microSDHC (yup, the largest I had available, will be upgrading soon.)
Then created firstand in the beginning of the disk a FAT32 primary partition of ~3,2Gb and finished off with a ~500Mb Ext3 partition. Named them ReaderSD and RdrApp (Wonderfully original, I know, thanks). Everything looked good - the computer (running w7/64/ult) recognised the card and the world was in peace and champagne rained from the heavens.

But when I popped the little bugger in the reader - guess what happened..
Nothing. It kind of mounted something but failed to display any of the files inside the card.
Now when I plug the reader to the computer it asks to format the SDcard "drive". And refuses to recognise any partitions or anything. Just offers to create one 3,69Gb drive/partition there. And - surprise - that dowsn't quite suit me..

I'm kind of n00b-ish when it comes to android (my first android gadget) - so does anybody here have any brilliant ideas as to how to torture the damn tablet and submit its will to that of mine?

Thanks in advance - 'll be happy to answer all the questions about to pour in..

Cheers,
Z.
