Not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread, but before I start a new thread, I'd thought I'd post here first.

I want to establish a 2gb fat partition on my new 4gb bootable internal sd so that it shows up when booted to sd as a 2gb internal storage. I have used Acronis to put a backed-up 2gb ext2 partition on the sd already. It is mmcblk0p1, but there is a 2gb unallocated block of space before it (i.e., to the left of it) when the card shows up in gparted.

I want to to make that 2gb of unallocated space show up as "internal sd" when booted to the ext2 partition. After trying several things to make this work, I settled on this:

1. Establish a 2gb Fat 32 partition using cfdisk.
2. Mount this partition as root (it won't let me do it otherwise) using:
Code:
mount -t msdos /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmc2
This makes the 2gb fat partition show up as "Internal Memory," just as desired. **BUT**, it seems I cannot move files to this Internal Memory. I get a message saying "Unable to move selected folder." This is strange, since I'm trying to move a selected file TO a selected folder (namely the Internal Memory).

Anyone got any ideas???
