Very interesting. Thank you.

I actually wanted to select 10009665 as the start on the partition 1. But I wasn't paying enough attention and assumed that it would select this as the default anyway, so I just pressed Enter in "fdisk". Which then led to 1011712 as the start.
As I have taken this instructions (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...8&postcount=89) to do the extension, I had the same result like the creater of this instructions as you can see in this link.

There is another difference at the right side in Partition 1:

You:

  Start-C/H/S  End-C/H/S Attrs
     0/0/0        0/0/0

I:

  Start-C/H/S    Ende-C/H/S Attr.
           494/0/1      1023/63/32

But no Idea, what this is and how relevant it is.

Maybe you are right.
Maybe all errors from testdisk are normal for a Pocketbook. Too bad you can't run Testdisk.
But maybe I have all the errors from testdisk, because my original sd card was corrupted when I made the image of it. Actually this is what I want to know. Are this testdisk errors normal for PacketBook or do I have them, because my original sd was corrupted before I made the image.
Maybe there is anybody else who could run testdisk?




Please allow me some questions:

1. What is your "840-c39e5f65-fw5.15.dd"?
Is this an image? Is this the new sd you have created from your old corrupted original sd?

2.

You should also use the ereader to format the new larger partition.

As already said: I have made this in Linux with the instructions I have linked.
Have you done this in your EBook itself? Maybe this is why our two extension look different in the column "Start-C/H/S End-C/H/S" ?
If you have made this in your EBook itself:
In which slot was the sd card with the partition you wanted expand? In the internal slot or in the external slot?
How were you able to use the commands for the expand in the EBook?
Is there something like a terminal in the EBook? If yes, how can I start it?

3. What happens if you take your new internal sd card out of your EBook and plug it directly into a Windows PC via USB. How long does it take to recognize the sd card until you see it in the Windows Explorer?

Thank you.
