partitioning sd card for android help

spider_pig

i have Sony Ericsson x8 and the internal phone memory is useless it runs out of memory very quick
i recently found out about being able to send apps to the SD card so looking to get this going
i have the phone rooted and an app called link 2sd which sends them to the SD card
also i have googled how to partition an SD card but i am having no joy what so ever no matter how many things i try the partition tool i am using is MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition i was using Gparted also with no joy.
so wondering has any one had the same problem as me and over come this or able to shed some light on the situation the SD card is a 2GB

Check out step 5.

You may need to put the SD card on a card reader if not working through the phone.

What part is going wrong?

Did you make sure to place the ext partition at the end and did you pick the correct ext3 or ext4 for the app?
