Cloning microSD - Desire General

Hi there;
I'm moving from a 8Gb Class6 microSD to a 16Gb Class10, and I wish to clone my entire data from the old card to the new card. The 8Gb microSD is partitioned and I have the EXT partition for the Desire programs, which I dont wanna lose.
Which procedure should I follow to copy the FAT32 and the EXT partition from my old card to the new one?

Thank you dude!

you're welcome

I dont know what Im doing wrong, but I cant see the EXT3 partition with a LiveDVD of Ubuntu 9.10. It shows the FAT32 aswell, but I dont see the EXT partition.
Im using a Sandisk ImageMate cardreader.. if that matters.

Is my Micro SD corrupted?

I think I made a fatal error, I was putting some files onto the card, completely forgot I left it in the computer memory card port and then went on to install vista and xp which might have done this i'm not sure.
Any way to reverse what happened.
It was a 1gb now it's 10mb in the properties.

I'm guessing by your response it's impossible to retrieve my data?
If there's no way to retrieve what I had i'll do that and give it away cause I bought a bigger one.
I had exactly your problem, and the only solution i found it a format with GParted.
Under windows my sd way no more readable, while under linux i had strange files as in your screenshot.
After a format now everything works well.

I actually have a question.

It pertains to dark tremors apps2sd.
I have a 1024mb ext4 partition setup, 0mb swap with dalvik moved to the cache.
When I a2sd check I can see the settings appear to be correct. Problem is it's listing my ext as ext2. I seem to have everything setup right but apps don't appear to be going onto the SD card. I could be wrong maybe they are and the settings wizard can't show it.
Here are a few screenshots, I am going to download some more apps and watch internal storage and see what happens.

Answered my own question. Downloaded a few apps and the a2sd MB went down alot more than the internal phone memory did. So it seems that it is working.
Only concern now is why it shows I have a ext2 partition. Maybe I should try upgrading it again in amon?

Micro SD card shown on settings but contents are not recognised

Just got a Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL). I've inserted a 32 gb card from my old Moto G. The storage is being shown on Settings>Storage but the contents are not shown in File Manager. Even not in Music apps. And there is no option to Format the card too. If I connect it to PC then only internal storage is shown. What to do?
Backup data, format on pc...
If PC doesn't recognise it means your sd card has died...
When formatting please use FAT32 format
Sincerely,

SD card
Make sure that the card is pushed all the way in. II had the same problem with a 64g card. It takes a little force to seat it all the way in. See picture.

MicroSD 128Gb works perfect in MTCD

I've bought a 128Gb microSd card (Sandisk).

It works perfect in my MTCD_KD unit. The user manual of my android unit (5.1.1) says it can works with SD cards up to 32Gb, but i've tried and i'm so happy with thousands of mp3 and movies.
This post is only for your info, if you ever asked if it can works with a bigger microSD than 32Gb.
fyi:
I guess most sdxc cards are formatted in exFat. I have a 64gb sdxc card which has been recognised by my MTCD unit but it didnt make use of it (system reported that I can safely remove the sdxc card now). I first had to format the sdxc card in settings > storage > format sd card. Then it worked flawlessly.
