8 gb mSD card with barely any space left after CM7

[Adibidah]

I'm thinking it has to do with the partitions on the mSD card, but I have this 8 gb card with barely any space left. Not enough to sync some music from Spotify, which is something I really wanted to do.

I followed the instructions to root here from this youtube video. I remember when I did it, it seemed like my card was a lot more full than it should have been, considering they said you could use a 2 gb card.

I am really a novice when it comes to this stuff, so thanks for being patient with my questions!

The 4th partition should take up all available space.

Use a partition manager to make sure all available room is taken up by the 4th.

If you wrote a 2 GB image to a 8 GB card, the rest of the space on the card won't be seen. As koopakid08 said, use a partition manager to reclaim the space. Easeus (free) does a good job.

So I can take the card out, use the partition manager, put the card in, and I won't lose anything?

Yes, just resize the last partition (which may be labeled SD Card) to add the free space. It's pretty straightforward.
