Got Linux?
Use Gparted
OSX? Use disk utility

The SD is partitioned and if you are on windows, it can not see the ext partitions.

Just use gparted or disk utility and repartition it to one.. No worries with it. :D

on your phone, as root:


parted -s /dev/mmcblk1 -- mklabel msdos mkpart primary fat32 0 -1


substitute fat32 with your favorite filesystem
