If you're running an AOSP rom it needs to be formatted to FAT32

From what I can recall cwm only recognizes fat 32. You can format your sd card to fat 32 using a specific windows app. It's called guiformat.

You can also use Easus Partition Manager.
I've been using it for years. It's what I used to format my own 64GB MicroSD in Windows to Fat32.
It's free btw

I cant speak for any other ROM as i haven't used any other than AOKP but it works fine for me with my 16GB class 10. I would venture to say it also works on most of the ROM's out there...personally speaking, and i think im probably in the majority here, no external SD would be a deal breaker.
EDIT: According to some (very) quick research its possible it may simply be that your SD card is in a format not readable by CM. Try formatting the SD to FAT32 and see if it works.
Oah thanks.. I will try doing it Nd will surely let you guys know

Move what to the sd exaclty? Also what size card do you have, i've seen somewhere there are detection issues with the larger capacity cards.

So, the external is working now? And you are trying to move something to it? Sorry but you are not elaborating much on what is going on.
Yeah... I wanna moved and save the apps in external sd card.... No, the sd card is not working. How do you save your apps in your sd card when you download something from app store Or like if you want moved it to sd card which is already in internal memory

Well there are several option to move apps to sd. Of course this isn't going to work until you figure out why your sd card isn't being recognized. There is a possibility there could be a problem with your external slot...have you tried any other sd cards?
Are you able to able to save your apps on external sd card...

Now that you mention it i can't..although i really wouldn't want to. Every time i've done it in the past it has causes problems. I'm not sure if this is isolated to AOSP based roms or if it's got to do with the way the external sd is accessed.
i just installed cm10 on my galaxy r and was wondering with the same doubt.
while opening randomly the folders in the root, i found that /emmc is the location of external sd card.. :victory:

[Q] external sd won't mount in cwm recovery? Please advise.

I have a 64 gb sand disk sdxc memory card and I'm trying to flash a custom rom but my sd card won't mount when I'm in recovery. Any help would be great.

Remove the micro sd from the phone, put it into the converter so you can
use it with your computer.
Then format it in FAT32, after it's done put it back in the phone and
you will find that your problem has magically disappeared.
Thanks. I'll try this now.

32GB micro SD card

Hey guys I recently purchased a 32gb SD card off eBay. Before I used it I formatted it to fat32 but it seems when ever I download a rom straight to the SD card from my phone it always get corrupts and stops me from doing anything in my recovery. I always get can't install <××××××> sdcard (bad) Aborted..etc. leading me to drag and drop everything to PC reformatting it. Anybody know I can avoid corruption. Thankyoi

Always format any SD card in the device in which it will be used. This will always work and ensures that the SD card has the correct format for the device.

Works best for me when I have troubles with my SD card.
I always format from the pc in fat 32, the only problem is that you won't be able to write files bigger than 4GB into the sd
