Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.

I’ve recently upgraded the SD card in my desire to a 16GB class 4 and its giving me some major issues! I’m running OpenDesire 4.0.1 and the sequence of events was as follows:
1. Inserted new SD card and formatted with gParted: 512MB Ext3 and the rest FAT32 (Ext3 partition was at the end – hope that’s correct!)
2. Rebooted fine and all the apps stored on the internal memory were present and correct. Those that I had moved to the old SD card were missing so I uninstalled them.
3. Tried to install Estrongs file manager from appbrain using the fast web installer function. This downloaded OK but the phone rebooted during installation. Tried again but same thing occurred again.
4. Tried plugging phone into PC. USB debugging mode started up fine but I wasn’t offered the option of mounting the SD card
5. Unplugged USB and inspected phone storage menu to find that no SD card was mounted
6. Rebooted a few times, removed and reinstalled SD card etc – still no SD card detected by the phone
7. Booted into recovery, connect phone to PC and used the “mount USB” option in Clockwork mod. This was successful and allowed me to inspect my SD card on the PC. Noticed that Dalvik cache and some apps (those not included as part of the ROM) were present on the SD card (FAT32 partition) – OpenDesire must have moved them there automatically (but why to the FAT32 partition and not Ext3?).
8. Rebooted phone out of recovery to check that those apps that appeared on the SD card were accessible in Android. Found that they were, which is strange given that the SD card was still not being detected by the system.
9. Decided to mount SD card again via clockwork recovery method and formatted the FAT32 partition with gParted.
10. Rebooted phone and found SD card still not detected and all those apps that had magically been moved to the SD card by OpenDesire were (unsurprisingly) gone.
11. Tried a few adb commands that I found in another thread but didn’t seem to have any effect.
Out of ideas – can anyone help?! Will try old SD card tonight and see what happens, but I don’t think there is a problem with the new card since I managed to successfully mount it through clockwork. I’m also wondering why the apps were moved to the FAT32 partition instead of Ext3? I thought that’s what the Ext3 partition was for?
Cheers
The FAT32 partition must be the first partition on your SD card, and it seems from what you've said that you created the EXT partition first.

no the the FAT32 was first then the Ext3
OK fixed. Managed to mount the SD card on the PC via clockworkmod, deleted all partitions and rebooted phone. Phone detected SD card and asked me to format it. Did that and then added a ext partition using gParted.
SD Card Cant be Detected on Desire(Solved)
Hiii... guys.. even i went through the same problem.. and tried formatting using Linux,Windows.. but nothing happpnd... as a final trial i tried it to factory reset(i.e., SD CARD).. by using hp usb disk storage format tool ...... and it was successful...
As for now just google the Software
Good LUCK!
OK, so my Desire was working ok, but I decided it was time for a clear out, and a fresh partition of my SD Card, along with a move to Firerat's script for A2SD.
I booted my computer into Ubuntu and made a backup of my SD Card - no problems there. However, I noticed that the EXT partition had not mounted in Ubuntu, so I figured that it must be to do with being booted into Android, and so I booted into Recovery and mounted SD card there - same problem.
It was not until I physically put my SD card into a card reader and inserted it into my laptop, could I access the EXT partition. So I went ahead and copied my EXT partition, no probs.
I then (for some reason) decided to put my SD card back into my phone, mount SD Card in Ubuntu and try and re-partition the SD card in GParted. It kept, however giving me an error message when I tried to partition the card. GParted crashed and would not restart until I re-booted the system. The same thing happened after a reboot.
I had to go into Windows and format the Card as FAT32, and then remove the card from the phone, put it in the card reader, reboot into Ubuntu and then partition the card via GParted.
Now, I have a 6Gb FAT32 partition and a 1GB EXT2 partition on my SD Card and all is (kinda) working swimmingly. Still when I access my SD card (via USB cable, and HTC Desire) in Ubuntu, the EXT partition does not mount (it DEFINITELY used to), and when I view it in GParted it shows the entire disk as "unallocated"?
Is my phone somehow "corrupting" my SD card partition tables? The phone seems to read it ok?
Any ideas would be welcome?
Thanks
Stu
No one have any ideas?

my desire stop recognizing sd card wtf
it says no sd card ...
p.s my clockwordmod recognize it
Try a different newly formatted SD Card?
If your partitions are corrupted, you might get that message.
i mounted and formated my sd card via clockworkmod and still nothing i've tryed 2 more sd cards and still my phone dont read them
Well, this is beyond me, so try this link, this person had a similar problem.

Although this is strange you can mount the sd card and format it so the above link may not help.
Bump anybody?
Hey everyone,
It's my first time rooting my Desire. I followed the "noob proof" guide, skipping the S-OFF step (figured I don't really need it if I'm just flashing ROMs).
I partitioned my SD card successfully (16GB -> 14GB FAT32, 1GB EXT4) using GParted and the card was working well. I made a backup and then flashed MildWild 5.0. Everything seems to be working fine except the SD card is not recognized. In Storage settings the "Mount SD card" option is grayed out and it says "Insert an SD card for mounting". I tried restarting the phone, reinserting the card, but that didn't work.
On a side note, when I partitioned the card first and ran stock rom I couldn't mount the card too, but the option wasn't grayed out, and after a restart it was OK - capacity and free space was reported correctly.
I guess it's a problem with the partitioning, but is there anything I could try before repartitioning the card again? This might be a logical way of dealing with the current situation (card is completely empty), but what if this happens again after using the phone for a while and storing all kinds of stuff on the card?
PS. I haven't tried to see if the card is visible in windows, because I don't have a card reader. I'll try GParted again tomorrow, but now I'm off to bed.
Thanks!
I had the exact same problem and fixed it by putting the card in a card reader, and running the "Scan drive for errors" tool in Windows. It found errors the first time, and I ran it twice to be safe.
Hi,
I managed to connect the card my PC by mounting USB storage in ClockworkMod recovery. I scanned the disk for errors but there were none. Unfortunately after rebooting the device still couldn't see the card.
Also while in recovery I could mount the sdcard and sd-ext, or at least appeared that I could - the lines changed to "unmount (...)" but there was no notification of successful or failed mounting.
What should I try next? Repartition with GParted (probably by mounting usb storage in recovery, otherwise it's not recognized there either) or try that with ClockworkMod? Or perhaps 4EXT?
Thanks!
OK, I tried partitioning the card again with GParted, but nothing changed. I am beginning to think something might be wrong with the card.
And after some reading I understand that partitioning with CWM isn't favored by most, so eventually I might try 4EXT. In that case, do I need S-OFF to install it? The question has been asked in the developer's thread recently, but no one has answer it and a few other threads seem to suggest that you don't necessarily need S-OFF, unless you would like to use some specific feature(s).
So do you need S-OFF to install 4EXT on the Desire or not?
My device is rooted, s-off and I flashed WildChild 3.3 some days ago.
Problem is my phone suddenly doesn't see my SD card at all. Camera says "Insert SD card", Root Explorer "SD card not found", Link2SD "SD card not present". Even in CWM trying to mount SD card gives back error.
When connected to my PC with a card reader (my card reader doesn't have any switch) in MiniTool Partition Wizard, it mounts as read only. So I just see the contents of the FAT32 partition, I can't perform format. Could it be fried?
I tried another SD card on my phone and it mounted normally, whereas my SD card had exact the same problem on a Galaxy Europa (not mounting at all).
It is a Verbatim 8GB class 4 and it came with no adaptor. It worked fine until now, it also worked the first days with the new ROM (3 partitions, FAT32, ext2, linux swap). I don't have a clue how it became read-only...
Any ideas?
Most likely corrupted. Seeing that your other card works, its a high possibility that its gone corrupt.
Buy a new one or use the other.

I am going for a new micro SD card. Damn, I would prefer spending my money otherwise...
You can try Hp Formatting Tool, it worked for me everytime. It's like a handy charm. :")
