[Q] Can't mount SD card after formatting - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a big problem here. Anyone can help me?
I format my SD card to NTFS, after that I need to install a new ROM from my SD card, however when I went into the Recovery, it said that 'Can't mount sdcard', how can solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Format it to FAT32. Its the only way recovery reads it

try another sd or reflash recovery .

It must be FAT32 it should do the job, ROM installing doesn't require NTFS, my card is FAT32 and i'm flashing into any ROM i want, i admit that it took me days to figure everything out for sucessfully booting ROM flashing.

[Q] cant access sd card

Hi can any one help i tried to install the desire hd rom, the instructions suggested partitioning sd card before installing the rom
which i tried to do using Mini tool partition wizard unfortunetly after wiping partition and the creating new partion my sd card would not mount as i wasnt sure if i should have formated the sd card at this point as that option was still available. but the instructions didnt mention wether i should have formated after creating new partition.
So anyway to cut a long story short i switched the phone of instead, hoping that when i restarted it i would be able to mount the sd card. But now i had a new problem my phone now would not detect my sd card altogether
Does any one know how i can make my sd card detectable again or will i need to fork out for a new sd card
Have you tried it in another device, say a PC card reader?
Had the same issue. Everything worked fine after formatting the SD card with Gparted. What I did wrong is that I made 3 EXT4 partitions for Data2SD and the computer didn't recognize the card. Used Recovery to mount the card and Gparted to repartition it. Everything worked fine afterwards.
yes sort of tried my friends sd card in my desire and it detected it so its definetly the my sd card that faulty
thanks for replying to my message i tried mounting the sd card in recovery using recovery manager but my phone wont mount it as it not detecting the sdcard do you think i might have better luck with gparted and if so do you have a link where i might be abe to down load it.

[Q] Galaxy Y Recovery problem with SD Card.

Hey guys,
So, having a little problem with my dad's Galaxy Y. I tried to root the device this evening and when I went to the stock recovery and chose "Update from SD card" it gave me an error.
E:Could not mount /sdcard No such file or folder exists.
This happened with a Class 4 Kingston 4Gig SD card.
However, when I used another SD card(1 Gigabyte-Class4 Kingston), it worked perfectly. However, I want to use my 4 Gig card for custom ROMs and link2SD. Is there any way I can keep using my 4 Gig card and NOT get that Error?
Thanks.
PS. By the way, the SD card is working fine, and it's working in the phone OS, Windows, Mac OS X SL and Linux.

Reformat your SD Card using MiniTool Partition Wizard and make sure the file system is Fat32. Report back after you tried this step.

Done and done, still the same error. :/
I remember having the same problem with a Kingston SDHC Card, repartitioning fixed it.
Try re-moving the card when in recovery and then re-insert it and try again. If that'll not work, re-flash it to stock firmware then root the device. Re-flashing won't take that much time, between 43-46 seconds only. Everything you need is in my Samsung Galaxy Young for Dummies guide, under ROM and Kernel Flashing.
Simply format the sd card in "full" i.e. Full format, not quick format. Fat32.
Prob solved.
Try mini tool this way
1. Delete the entire partition
2.Now create new partition
3. First one for links2sd 512mb ext 3
4.remaining space for the primary memory fat32
5. Now copy your update. Zip to the card. Try again

Guys, I know how to format an SD card. Been a Linux geek for seven years now. On the topic, I think there was a problem with the previous repartition. Formatted and repartitioned it with Linux.
Solved. Thanks for the help. Cheers!

SD card is not recognized in CWM recovery mode?

So, I have a 64gb SanDisk SD card formatted in exFAT format.
When I boot into recovery mode in CWM, it does not show an external SD card.
I even went as far as trying to manually mount the SD card... but when I tried, it said that the SD card was not mountable.
Is there any way to fix this... to make it be recognized in CWM recovery mode?
Format card to fat32. Don't think cwm can read exfat

I think you might be right...
Im going to format to fat32 and then see if it makes a difference.

Yup! exFAT was the culprit!
I formatted to fat32 and now CWM recovery can mount the SD card.
FYI, if it helps anyone else that comes across this same issue... it took me a while to find a good program to format my card...
I found one that someone created that worked like a charm!

The simple answer is Yes . Install PhilZ Touch 4 Recovery 4.88.5. All credit goes to PhilZ and all CWM folks :good:
PhilZ Touch 4 Recovery 4.88.5 based on CWM 6.0.2.9 will support both ext4 and exFAT filesystem under recovery mode.

[Q] i did erease my sd card now i cant use it anymore

Hello,
I did erease my sd card by accident but that was a stupid thing to do. Now i cant use it anymore like before my pc dousnt recognize it anymore and i did try to make a new partition but it wont work. Could someone help me to fix this? i tryed to format it again and made new partitions but that would not work.
thx
I can use the card nw but stil cant mount the sdcard via recovery CWM
And is it normal that my rom is installed on the internal storage instead f the sd card?
Yes it's normal and the only option. Why do you need to mount in cwm and how do you know it's not mounted?
After installing ROM, PC "readable" part of SD card has to be fat32 partition, and that's what you see as "SD card".

If I helped, please hit the Thanks...

[Q] Help can't access in any way the internal SD card

hi there I'm having this big issue
I made some mistakes, the one that I think originated all my problem is that I've formatted the external SDcard using windows and the phone connected to the pc, because after that the phone had many problems
on the phone I have CWM 6
the big one is that I'm not able to access the internal SD card in any way, When i do factory reset with CWM it says that it can't mount the internal SD card, while when I try to install custom roms they work but they can not do things such as taking pictures with camera because it says that I have to insert the SD card
maybe that I have to format it but i don't know how
any help appreciated
thanks
Maybe that I have to re-write the partition table that went corrupted.
Does anyone have the PIT file of the phone?
Thanks
