I'm inclined to say you may have a bad sector on your computer's harddisk - but this doesn't really explain not being able to create a folder. Were you creating a new folder, or moving (or copying) a folder from your computer?
First, I'd run a disk check on your computer. If that comes up clean, I'd take it to Sprint and ask them to replace your sd card.

I can't access the recovery anymore, can't connect it for disk drive. ROM MGR can't open the card either. I have Clockwork Recovery & I don't know what to do to get the card back to normal. Suggestions please? How will I access my Root if it's stored on this card? Don't know what to do......
Thanks in Advance...
Sometimes a file on my sd card will become corrupt, causing it to mount read only. I'm wondering if you meant to say your card was read only? If so, try plugging your card into a computer and copying the contents to the PC. If an error pops up about a file, delete that file from the card and you should be good to go. If no error happens, make a backup of the card, then reformat the card on your PC, pop it into your phone and format it again under settings->sdcard. Then just copy the contents from your PC back onto it.
Since this my first post I can't provide a link. This is a copy and paste from a different forum. Worked for me and I didn't have to reformat:
"I approached it without reformatting. I took the SD card out and loaded it into a card reader and looked at the file system on the card. One of my subdirs in my Music directory was corrupted and I wasn't able to delete the folder.
So I right clicked on the removable drive and went to properties.
From there I clicked on the TOOLS tab and then on the CHECK NOW button for error checking.
I ran this a few times until I was finally able to kill the remaining files in that subdir.
I then reloaded the card and everything seems ok, except I need to reload my music."

Thanks. Both of these I have noted & will try. I appreciate You Guys taking time to help.... GOD Bless!
I was wondering if another Desire user could help me out. I had a bit of a problem with my phone and had to switch it off and remove my micro sd card, but when I plugged it into my computer with an adapter there was no useful information on it for me to get back. This either means that this is standard and the micro sd card can only be read properly when the sd card is in the Desire and then plugged in. Or that my sd card has an error.
Could someone please help with this and let me know what files they can see when they put their micro sd card into their computer directly.
The picture is what I see.
Run Checkdisk (chkdsk) then file restoring software, to recover your files.
Then Re-format the card. Happened to me once, everything got meesed up. Re-format helped.

Checkdisk isnt a recovery software, but I ran it already, and I tried the recovery program but I cant seem to be recovering anything but more useless information, I dont know if the data is lost or if its still on the card but only readable through the desire itself.
Can someone please do what I said in my original post and let me know what they can see with just the micro sd card in the computer
Thanks
CHKDSK is scans for harddrive damage and it DOES recover the files, but with the .chk extension.
These are the files on my SD:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
If thats the case then thanks for letting me know.
I ran chkdsk like this.
Plugged in the micro sd card in the computer, went to my computer and right clicked the SD card, clicked properties, went to tools and then error checking.
Selected both the check for system errors and scan for bad sectors. Started it and 2 seconds later it closes and doesnt actually do anything taht I can see. I go back to the sd card and still nothing has changed.
Where should it be putting the recovered .chk files?
Cant wond scan via windows, so i did it by cmd. Said it couldnt convert threads as there is no room. So I'm guessing I have to format it first. I hope this doesnt get rid of my files permanently, I didnt have any other copies of my contacts or anything, and phone is completely broken.
I've perm rooted with visionary.... now for some reason when i go to use camera or load anything off the sd card it says its read only. so it remounts it and again the same thing? any ideas?
Your SD card is probably on the way out.
I had the same thing on my DZ. A couple of times when I got the same error as you, I copied all the files off the SD and reformatted it in my PC. Usually I'd get errors whilst trying to copy the files.
After reformatting and copy the files back it'd be OK for a few days then the problem would reoccur.
Finally I bought a new card and everythings been fine since... Touch wood.

1-Did you try using another sd card?
2-Take your sd card out and see if your phone keeps rebooting itself still.
3-Are you getting an error notification in your status bar about the sd card? If so, use an sd card reader and plug it directly into your laptop. Copy and paste all the files from your sd card to your laptop. If you have a corrupted file or files on the sd card, windows wont copy it over and youll get a pop up window telling you so. Once all of the files are copied to your laptop, reformat your sd card using windows. Then put it into your evo and reformat it through the phone as well. Then copy and paste the good files from the laptop back to the phone. This should solve your problem as long as its not ROM related.
Just Got it to read on my laptop
What should I do next?
Format it?

I can't reformat it on my phone,it says: "Formating /sdcard....
Skipping format...
Done."
I formated it on Windows though

Hmm sorry. That worked for me when I had a problem detecting my sd card.

try another sd card. if the phone is still not detecting it then you may have a prob with the phone.
Sucks,cause I don't think Sprint will give me a new phone,
cause I was rooted
:S
Maybe if I say it's hardware problem....

You don't have to unroot your phone for Sprint to replace it. As long is it is not physically damage or been exposed to liquid take it to a Service and Repair center and they will order a replacement as long as you have TEP.
did you have to pay 100?
I didn't pay anything but my phone wasn't rooted! I blamed it all on gingerbread

I picked up my phone looking to download a new ROM to it but then found that my ES File Explorer (given root permissions) was not able to view my external SD card via the mnt folder. At the same time, I was trying to back up my apps and such via Titanium Backup but it said that it couldn't backup anything because my card was full (it's default save location is my external card). It just said "Empty". I went to check my Settings to see if my card was somehow unmounted, but nope, it said it was still there. Even said that I had 11.27 GBs left out of 29 GB or whatever and gave me the usual options to Unmount and such. I pulled off my battery cover and the card was still there, so I assumed that the Android system might just need to sit for a while and cool off while off. Then I turned it back on to find that ES was still not able to view the contents of externalSDcard. So I went to my Root Browser and it too said that no files were there. I then went into my Settings and now it just says "Insert SD card".
I've had this happen before on other Android phones so I did what I normally do and hook it to my PC and reformat it. Windows found the device when I attached it via a SD card reader (the big fat kind like in your standard camera), it didn't want to format it. Windows brought up the prompt and said that it only could format 1GB so I knew Windows wouldn't be able to recognize it. I even tried formatting it via Command Prompt and typing "Format G:" and it too said there was only 1024MB to be formatted then went through trying to format and then said it failed.
I then tried pulling up Ubuntu's Disk Utility to format it. At first, Ubuntu wouldn't even correctly identify the device! Then I got the Disk Utility to recognize it and it couldn't even recognize how many GB/MB were originally on the card! Trying to format just brought up a message telling me that it couldn't do anything.
I had this happen a few times with my HTC Evo 4G OG but was able to format the card and put it back into my phone and have it work. Of course, the last time with my old 16GB card ended with it being destroyed much like this.
Please tell me that I can do something to fix this. Anything?!?!
This card is a 32GB Class 10 Patriot. This has happened before in my old HTC Evo 4G OG with a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk card. That card became unusable after a few times of this happening except I was able to fix it those times using the methods I tried above and allowing my phone to recognize the card again.
