Hopefully someone can help. my EVO rebooted this morning and when it came back, it can not find any of the programs that were moved to the SD card. they are all there as I can read ALL the files if I take the SD card and put it into my PC. I just copied the files off, reformatted the SD card and put everything back. HOWEVER, it still doesnt see the apps on the SD card. how can I fix this?
Thanks ...

I have a stock Desire - on Orange ( UK ) network. All has been fine, but it suddenly stopped reading my SD card today - which has important work photos.
Why would it have done this and any way to fix it?
cheers all
First you need to find out whether the problem is your phone or your sd card.
Can you plug your sd card into your computer? If you can, copy the files from it and format the sd card and then copy back.
make sure that it is formated to FAT32
If you dont have a computer to do this, I reccomend that you go the settings and then SD card and unmount and remount your sd card and see if that helps.
Failing that, I would look and see if there is anything bent or blocking the sd terminals.
Let me know how it goes.
Ps.. I assume you have already done the obvious and restarted your phone.
I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 RC2 up and running. I noticed that I had a lot of junk on my SD card so I thought that I could back it up and then wipe it because most/all of the useful stuff was on the internal memory of the DHD. But, for some reason, my phone is telling me that my SD card is damaged.
I don't think that there is anything wrong with the SD card because I just did a copy/paste thing to back it up. Also, I've put in another SD card and it also says that it's damaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Run fix_permissions and reboot

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think I can do that. I can't put that on my SD card because there if I try to connect it with the computer, I can't mount the SD card or turn on the usb sharing thing. I'll be able to reformat the SD card soon because I'm borrowing a friend's micro sd card to sd card converter.
I tried Fix Permissions by going into recovery and advanced options, but that didn't work =/
Also, I remember now that I uninstalled "Goldcard Helper" because it said it was downloaded to my SD card so I thought that I could uninstall it and be able to clean up my SD card completely. Maybe that had some effect on this?
Got my friend's converter so now I can plug the micro SD directly into my computer. Oddly enough, it said I had to format it before I could use it which is essentially what my phone was telling me to do too.
I'll wipe it then see if it works
Perfect! I think it is working completely now! One last question of what I should do now that it's working. Can I plug it in, restore a few pictures I had, and just let Android take over from there? It's completely blank on the SD card so will Android know what to do with it?
I'm in a world of hurt and hoping someone has a solution for me!
I took my SD Card out of my phone & plugged it into my laptop. I then took all the files from my SD card and dragged them into a folder. Next I deleted those files from the SD card so I could use it for another purpose.
After I finished this process I got rid of what I had put on the SD card for the other purpose & dragged all the Android files from that temp folder back to my SD card.
Now my phone won't recognize my SD card. The card will not mount and when I boot my phone I get a message that says "blank SD card". When I click on that message it prompts me to reformat my SD card and warns me that everything on it will be lost.
So what I'm wondering is: can I reformat the card, plug it back into my laptop, drag the files back to the SD card and all will be well?
Or is there something else I need to do?
Or am I screwed?
I even tried a CWM restore...but the restore is on the SD card so that obviously isn't an option.
At any rate, I really need some help here and I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance and direction for me.
Thanks!

Yes, format the card inside the phone then put everything back on it.
Do you BONSAI?
Worked great!
So I have an Incredible that I recently rooted and then I got the phone replaced. I put the SD card in the new phone and all of my pics are not there. When I put the SD card back in the old phone, they are there.
When I plug the phone in it does not give me the two physical drives, just the ability to mount the SD card.
Any help you can provide to get these images off the phone would be GREAT!!!!!
Take all the content off the sd card and put it on your computer. Format your sd card to fat32 then place everything back onto your sd card.
