Is it formated fat32? I would use a pc to backup the files on the sd, and then format it fat32 with windows, and then copy the files back.

I have had to do this before and it normally fixes the problem. does your phone see other sd cards or do you only have the one?

One thing to also considered is that when using your SD Card through your computer make sure to 'safely eject' the device before unmounting your SD card, or it can lead to potential errors.
Glad to hear you got it fixed though.

I was just using my phone and then I clicked on an app that i had on my sd card and said that it couldnt be found, then it said that i had a blank sd card and that it needed to be formatted. I tried everything; pulling the battery, mounting, remounting, putting it in and out, tried to mount in recovery, tried to format in recovery...... NOTHING WORKED! So then i tried to plug it in on my computer (windows 7) and it wouldnt mount, so i couldnt format it....

Pull sd out of phone and use a card reader to see if it can be read from the pc. If you can read it with the pc, copy all your files to the pc and then format the sd fat32. Once formated put the files back on the sd and put it back in the phone and see if it works then.

have you ever pulled the SD card out of a device before Unmounted it? Sounds like the the chip inside is dead. There are some places that you can take it to and they can pull the info off of it. its not cheap but they do exist. It all depends on if you really want the info off of it or not.
Have you tried "SD Card Tester" from the Market, Or H2testw 1.4 for the PC?

I just flashed to CM10M1 and it now tells me that my SD is damaged. I have tried to format it using the phone but the unmounting seems to be taking really long. I have already tried formatting it on my PC, which works, as well as transferring files over, which also works, but when I put it into my phone i comes up with the same error. It is a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10. Any help?

I've heard some people had a problem after flashing CM10 with backups done with ROM manager. They said deleting the backups solved it, which doesn't really make sense if you've already formatted the card on your computer, but maybe it'll lead you in the right direction.

What format are you running? I think it has a problem with exFAT format.
Running exfat, will try reformatting to NTFS and will get back to you

Try FAT32. It worked for me. It does say ready to be removed in your storage settings but you should also be able to see the external SD card. Use Solid Explorer and see if you can see the external SD.
Hello,
i recently bought a new sandisk ultra class 6 8gb micro sd card for my phone..but i can't copy anything to it....the drive shows in computer but when i try to copy something to it, it says "An error has occured. The destination you specified does not exist.It might be in an offline network location or an empty CD or DVD drive. Check the location and try again. "
Also, i received one adapter with it...through which i can copy stuff onto the memory card but the problem is that i can't copy anything on it directly when it is in my phone , i also formatted it twice but still no luckkkkkk
Do i have to use the adapter at all times?? is there any way so that i don't have to use the adapter??
Please Help.
There is no problem with your memory card, your phone software/hardware may has some problem.

its just doesnt work, there is a compatibility problem with some sd cards in wfs, you have to buy another brand of sd card it will probably fix your problem, but i think you should try the card before buying it in order to make sure there is no compatibility problem.

a microsd card 8GB class 4 came with my phone
today after I took a picture with the phone camera I forwarded to see but no sd card
I connected it to PC then the windows asked me to format ... I wondered the the card space became 30.6MB !!!!
and cannot be formatted .
I tried many ways to recover the sd card such as SDFormatter v3 , DriveRestore_Professional , EASEUS Partition Master , and more ... without benefit !!!
can any one explain what happened with the solutions if possible please
Try using the formatting option on your Phone, or you could try CWM to do it too.
Try doing what XD suggested, if that didn't work, try formatting with another pc
I tried to format using CWM and using 3 PC's (win7 & xp) without any benefit
That happened to me once.
if possible You have to connect the SD card directly in your computer (SD Adaptor or any SD card reader).
If you're using windows, you have to go to control panel--> Admins tools, and then go to disk partitions. There you have to identify your SD card on the list and eliminate all partitions that could be on your SD card. Then you have to create a new partition on that SD and the format it.
There you go.

Maybe, maybe not, if it's not faulty then there's no reason why it wont, and if other users on the thread of whatever ROM, kernel or both you're using have reported the same issue then I don't see why it wouldn't. Given that you've already said that you've tried everything suggested I suspect it's a faulty card, but you're never going to know unless you try.
thanks anyway for you all
Format in linux You must of tried turn you sd card into ram thing or ext overload at lease it will tell you what is wrong with your sd
I just installed the CM10.2 and am finding it difficult to work with the external sd card.
The sd card shows up on storage and I can mount and unmount it without issues.
The card will not be available unless an app is rooted.
I cannot use it with CoolReader which I used to do when I had the stock ROM.
CoolReader will only show the internal card.
File Manager will also show the internal one only unless root is enabled for it.
I did format the card through recovery as well.
Is it not possible to use the sd card without root privileges?
I had thought by installing a custom ROM I would gain more capability but I seem to have lost here.
Sounds like either an issue reading the card or a broken symlink. What kind of card is it? Try formatting it as fat32 on a computer.

It's a generic 16gb card class4.
I formatted it from recovery which I understand does fat32.
As soon as I revert back to stock i am able to use with all apps without a problem.
Try another Rom, one built from CM and see if it works. And be aware android devices tend to be really finicky when it comes to sd cards. Sometimes you have to format on the device, but sometimes it works better if you do so on a pc. I still say it's worth a try. Then if you still have the same problem, you might consider searching and asking in the Rom thread.

In that case, your option is to format on a PC.
