Hmm..
BTW, have try you shut down the phone after format the SD ?
And do check again..
If the bad disk occur, in Win7 it will automatically recommend to do scan disk to fix it. If is not your SD is fine actually..

ive tried to check in another computer and the pc search for drivers and install it, and it works just like the normal, it detects both internal/external, but my pc still cant detect it, ive uninstalled the MiniTool Partition Wizard and samsung drivers on my pc, and then i plugged in my phone, my pc installed the drivers, but it still cannot detect the internal sd, maybe the MiniTool Partition Wizard have some remnants after ive uninstalled it, but im happy to know that there is nothing wrong with my sd (1.7gb), but i cant reformat my pc, because its owned by the company where i worked, i just hope that it can be fixed

I don't think recovery from CWM can help this as it just restores "files" from nandroid where partition is another independent thingy. U did partition the sd card. So re-partitioning should be the solution to it.

Oh~ meaning that ur PC can detect external sd via USB cable? Maybe u can try Dual Mount SD. I am using it to connect both internal and external sd to PC in one shot. PC and ur device are enable to read sd cards simultaneously.

yes, my pc can detect my external sd, i tick usb debugging and when i connect my CP to the PC there is a notification in my CP and ill just have to click it to connect, normally it would detect both my internal and external sd, but after using the minitool partition wizard to make partition to my 1.7gb sd, my pc can no longer detect my 1.7gb sd (external because its swapped), and ive tried something, ive update my kies, and connect my phone with usb debugging untick, it detects my phone (GT-i8150 in my computer) with internal and external sd card. but still when im connecting with usb debugging on, only 1 sd card is detected, i guess my pc detects it as bad disk because of the mini tool partition wizard, but i dont know how to revert it, ive already uninstall the mini tool... but it doesnt help

im facing same problem
I read abt it that bootIt cn be work in this situation, bt dont knw how to use it..
i usually used minitool pw to manage sd card, nothing's wrong. It seems you need use minitool power data recovery to recover the data on your bad disk.

i got the bad disk error too messing with M.T.Partition Wizard and link2sd, but neither M.T.P.W. or the prompt commands to format the sd from pc worked so far..
The pc sees the sd for 1-2 seconds and ask to format it, then it s not accessible any more, and the formatting attempts (both from the pop-up message and prompt) results in a "cyclic redundancy check error" and fail..
i dont mind losing the data, i just want to keep using that sd
explained here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72729502&postcount=38933
so, did u fix it anyway/found a guide to use bootit ?

That problem happened to me for about 3 times (it happened to me last week) , My application got corrupted and they do not show in applications drawer. The solution to your problem is before you unplug your phone to computer make sure you unmounted the USB Storage (SD Card) and make sure you finish the media scanning first before unplugging it to your computer , even you already unmounted the USB Storage make sure to finish the media scanning to make sure that the media scanner has already loaded your applications that is stored on your SD Card , How to get rid of this ?? , Go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications but make sure to clear data them first so it won't leave trash in your SD Card after you uninstalled them
I Hope this won't happen to you anymore
Because once this problem happened again then you lose your data ( Game data's etc.)

try to install minitool partition on ur pc,then try to plug ur sd card,if not detected try to plug ur sd card on a linux computer (system)
if someone around you have a Nokia mobile then just insert the sdcard in the mobile and format the sdcard with the mobile
or with cwm recovery you can also format it

Hi Guys!
To try and keep the forum cleaner, questions should go on this thread:
[FAQ] Questions and Answers Here!
Hello,
Yesterday while downloading stuff, my phone suddenly sent me a notification that my SD card is broken. I can access everything in Recovery somehow. What I've tried :
- un-mounting & mounting again
- re-flashing
- factory reset
- format in recovery
And everything that I listed above failed. When I plug my card into PC it doesn't open. My whole window is not responding. I've tried mounting it on my older phones (Nokia 2730 & LG KP500), and only Nokia readed my card, but I couldn't do anything because it was password protected. Every possible password I had for my old SD card wasn't the right one. I've already googled but nothing mentioned before helped. When I formatted in recovery it only froze. When I switched ROMs to more "original" one, when I plugged my SD card it was automatically removed. Also my SD card is EMTEC 16 gb Class 4, and just in case I have my old 1 gb sd card lying around.
There is a possibility that your SD card is damaged..........one way of trying to cure it is to somehow try to make it work on your computer and Format it............or just try to format it on the phones that it works on

Going to try format on my old Nokia. But I was thinking, if I can get my SD card to work in Recovery, isn't there anyway to connect my phone to my PC and then try to format?
EDIT: Tried formatting on Nokia 2730 - it was failure. I couldn't because of the password.

In recovery, I should press mount usb right?
Yes
I did as you said and in Partition Wizard it showed me that the whole disk is used, file system was bad disk, and type was logical.
When I tried to format it said "Windows was unable to continue formating".

I would try using a USB adapter to see if it becomes readable.
If that doesn't work, I would try GParted in Ubuntu.

I tried mounting it through the rom -- settings > storage -- there the mount sd card button has no effect and says insert memory card -- then i went into cwm and did unmount /sdcard -- then mount /sdcard -- still it wouldn't show up..

When creating a partition use CWM or put the card in a reader, trying while the card is in the Phone and connected to the PC will give issues.

I tried using the mount and storage > format /sdcard option from CWM as well -- it completed successfully -- but did not work
the sdcard is detected by CWM as I installed the rom and mods through that -- only that once the rom and everything is installed and when I boot into it -- I don't see the sdcard -- says Mount SDcard under -- settings > storage -- and the button is greyed out !!
will deleting all partitions and creating new ones have any effect on it using disk manager in windows ?
ohh and another thing -- when the SDcard is replaced with another one it works on the fone !!
Deleting the partitions is worth a try, I resolved my issue before without a card reader but can't recall exactly what I did, and I got the issue by trying to create one with the Phone connected so just keep trying.

yes I did try another sd card -- it worked -- haven't tried deleting the partitions and starting fresh -- that will be the first thing I try tomorrow!
will do it via windows disk management -- using a card reader.

ran it thru mini partition tool
deleted all the partitions on the sd card
created new partitions -- fat32 and ext4 (for apps2sd)
and installed rom again !!
