I've been trying for about a week now to partition my 32GB SD Card so 4GB can be used as a Ubuntu Live and the rest as general storage that can be seen by Ubuntu and Windows.

I've tried this method: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ Everything works up until the Start Disk Creator. My partitions are not visible there even though they are visible on my computer.

Also I've attempted with VM Player http://www.howtogeek.com/97177/how-to-put-ubuntu-linux-on-a-usb-thumb-drive-without-the-mess/

If this helps, here is the SD card I'm using with the USB adapter. http://www.adorama.com/KGMB10G232GB.html?utm_term=Other&utm_medium=Shopping%20Site&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=gbase

  • Are you trying to use the SD card as a Hard Drive? – Mitch Jun 09 '12 at 06:13
  • Are both partitions on the SD card FAT32? – Tom Brossman Jun 09 '12 at 06:23

  • @Mitch No, I don't think so. I'm trying to make a bootable SD card I can use on any computer but have my settings and programs saved. But have the remainder as storage viewable by all devices or OS. I don't think I'm doing a full install. But I will try what TenPlus1 had mentioned. – moonyay10 Jun 09 '12 at 11:32
  • @TomBrossman No. NTFS for the open storage. EXT2 for Ubuntu partition. – moonyay10 Jun 09 '12 at 11:33

If you are using the SD card as a hard-drive to boot from then during install you would make a 5 GB / partition and put the rest in /home... you need room for the OS to breathe and update and all that shabang but their are tweaks available to move most of that work into memory and save SD usage...
