issue with emunand partition

[Youffie]

Hello everyone,

I might have done something stupid, I used hekate to format my 512GB SD card and used the option to create a 29GB emunand partition, but then, I forgot to create the emunand in the emunand menu on hekate and directly inserted my SD card to my computer and used sd formater to format the SD card and then GUI fat32 to make it FAT32.... now hekate doesn't see the 29GB partition and I can't format it back to a full 512GB SD card, it shows up as a no media disk and if I try to format the SD it only show as a 464GB SD !

please help, I don't know what else to do, and I'm scare to corrupt or destroy my SD card....

Your SD card is unallocated so you need to create a partition then recreate your emunand again

I did, but it only recreate a 464GB SD card. . . not the full 493GB

Try to see if it show up under software like minitool partition.

the disk 3 "NO MEDIA" is the 29GB partition created by hekate, but because I forgot to create the EMUNAND, it shows like a corrupt disk and I cannot find how to put it back onto the full SD CARD.

You should be able to delete the disc 3 and and get back the rest of the space, and then recreate.

It seem your card max available unallocated space, is 464.8GB that what what the disc management show. look like no missing 29GB.

Nevermind on my previous post, I don't see the missing 29GB.

it used to be a 493GB card . . .

What brand is it?

What brand is it?

Lexar High-Performance 633x 512GB microSDXC UHS-I A2 U3​

think you are confusing it with 494,911,488,000 bytes that is 460GB, info pulled from Amazon listing

but then what is this disk 3 that windows shows in disk management, if I safely remove the SD card, the disk 2 AND disk 3 disappear

Would be easy to do with GParted on Linux. But I suspect as Hayato213 is saying above, your real size is probably really 464GB. If you're positive it's supposed to be more, try GParted on a live Linux USB Stick.

 

[Hayato213]

seem like more of false advertisement, Samsung 512 give you like 477 GB

477GB =(512*1000*1000*1000)/(1024*1024*1024)
465GB =(500*1000*1000*1000)/(1024*1024*1024)

Disc 1 looks like it is your computer c drive, 128GB and disc 0 is another drive, data drive probably, that is 1TB. Disc 3 actually show nothing

 

[Hayato213]

In minitool disc 1 is disc management disc 0 and in minitool disc 2 is disc management disc 1 by the way.
