Partition Wizard Home Edition from here.
Once installed, run
MiniTool. Make sure you keep a back up your SD card.Select your SD card from
the listing and delete it. All your data will be gone at this stage. So
remember to back up earlier.
·
Now
select “Create as” on that drive letter.
·
Select
“Primary”.

If
the size is less than 2GB, select file system FAT. If it’s more than 2GB,
select FAT32.

Do
not select the whole card as partition size. Turn the slider to the left and
leave some space on “unallocated space”. This will be the second “EXT”
partition of your SD card.

click the Apply button from the top left of the window. It might take some time
for the operation to finish.
Once done, restore the
data to your SD card. On Windows, you will always get connected to the first
partition of your SD card because Windows does not recognize ext2 file system
which is the second partition of your SD card.
On Linux, though, make
sure to restore your data to the drive that is significantly larger. Because
your second partition is always the smaller one and you don’t want to fill up
your second partition with media files!
Now you just need to
configure Link2SD to connect to this second partition and link apps and games.

installed software to
the partition
you created by “linking”
them.
