when in gparted in the console in recovery . Just like starting to partion your sd , after the gparted script type....

rm 1
rm 2

That should remove both partitions

I am new to this as well. I finally made a bootable Ubuntu cd (you can search through the forums) and bought a card reader and formating my SD card (using my computer rather than the phone) has become a breeze.

yea i did this but it says the start of my sd card is 32.3kb and ends at 7969mb and wont let me partition it

Try reformating it . You can format it through the phone settings , under sd and phone storage . Be sure you aren't mounted or you will get an error .

This post will tell you step by step how to repartition your card.

It will even tell you how to do it, without loosing your Apps2SD/etx3 data.
