I've recently ran into a problem where i cannot access my memory card on my dash.
I was playing around with my friends phone and wanted to see if i could send him some mp3's but bluetooth didn't work, so i decided to take out my microsd card out of my dash and put it in his phone.
I couldn't find the storage space on his phone so i asked him to look for it. He found it and the phone couldn't read the card so it prompted him to format and before i could say no, he clicked yes.
I put the card back into my dash and tried to boot up but failed, got stuck on the startup screen. Im guessing its because i have so many startup programs stored on my storage card. So i performed a hard reset and it no longer got stuck at the startup screen.
Now the problem is that when i go to my file explorer, it won't detect my microsd card. Is this caused by the hard reset or perhaps because my friend decided to format my memory card on his phone?
Any help would be appreciated as to how to save my memory card. Maybe i just need to go buy a new card, just thought I would ask on the forum before i did that.
So if it doesnt detect it, no option to format it, right?
I would but it in a pc and see if it detects it. If it does, format it to Fat or Fat32 and put it back in your phone and see what happens.

Even if you are a noob, you should give more information. I asked you to check a option in the preferences, you didn't.
Tell us exactly what you've done BEFORE the sd card stoped working. The more information you'll give, the more answers you'll probably become.
o sorry ok i flashed the froyo rom that was for 2.51 everything loaded fine and when it comes on it says preparing sd card then it says sd card safe to remove i go to sd card and storage settings and click mount sd card and it does the prepare then safe to remove thing again
is this a new SD Card, or the default?
the default 2gb
I would try to format the SD card. This can only be done when it is unmounted. If this all doesn't work, I would try to access the SD card on a USB Cardreader, to see if its broken...
thanks well i went back to my old rom and it works now so no froyo for me just yet guess ill just wait till after to work tommorow to see again gotta sleep wayyy past my bedtime lolo thank you so much for your help
Glad to hear you worked it out...
good night
so, was having problems with my sd card today, so I formatted it on my mac, as fat32, then put all my backup files on it, and my phone can see it, and I am able to move files and programs to it, just like normal.
Only problem is, when I boot to recovery, to try and flash a zip file of any sort, I get a "error, sd card not mounted" message, and can't scroll to the root of the card to see anything..
when I formatted the card on my mac, I didn't make a partition on anything; I just formatted, gave it a name, and the phone saw it and recognizes it, except when I reboot into recovery...
Any suggestions on how I can get it to recognize itself in recovery?
Thanks!
Presto link-o http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243.
that looks like a fix for sd cards that are not DETECTED; mine can be seen through root explorer, and I can add or delete anything I want from it through my phone; it just doesnt want to mount when I am in recovery..
I'm not sure the link you posted is for not mounting in recovery...
thanks!

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

If you are using the SD card that came with your phone, you probably need to reformat it properly. See if your computer can read the SD card. If so, copy everything off of it and onto your computer hard drive in a safe place. Then install and run this application: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and use it to format the SD card. (Do not use Windows's built-in stuff to format the card, it won't fix it.)
After the format is done, copy everything back to the card, and then back into the phone and try it again.

Well the card has NOTHING on it.... I have no clue and CWM states no files either.
I have this gut feeling I just bricked my phone as even I cannot get it into download mode CMW just keeps coming up nice and BLUE ...
UPDATE : I am able to use CWM it seems I tried adding a ROM to the SD card and reinserting yet Nothing... I have the feeling the system is wiped also... IS there a zip file I can use to restore that anyone knows about... I was searching for the Orginal firmware and can't find anything.
Thanks
