I put an old SD card into my transformer and I wanted to format it, how do I do this? I went to the settings and storage but saw no choice to format it?
I didn't see a way to format either when I tried a couple days ago. I ended up formatting it using the desktop.

Would really appreciate a little help! Phone died formatting a new sandisk 16 gb SD and now I cannot format the card as it says blank or unsuppported file system or something, gives option to format, then says checking SD card, then the same notification stays about unsupported ect... but it does nothing. I tried putting it in an SD card adapter in a few things like a camera to format but no ideas. Anyone know what to do? Also tried formatting through system pref... does same thing.. no luck.

My understanding from reading your post is that you tried to format a brand new SD card and then your phone turned off/died, then you got the phone back up and running and tried to format again, but now you're getting an error. Well, if you still have the receipt, go return it for another one and try again.
if the card, formats in nothing, like your camera or PC, which I believe you are saying. The SD card is defective.....return it.
infact, I don't think I had to format my new SD card. It worked right out of the box.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Showcase I500 i was on stock 2.3.5 and i decided to flash a custom rom so i installed newest miui rom for I500 1.12.9 i think.. So my problem is that if i reboot my phone it seems to make the sd card corrupt. which isnt really a problem because i always keep it on. The first time it happened though my phone rebooted on its own and was kind of glitchy. Since then i have had the sd card damaged problem 2 more times but when i rebooted once and once when i pushed files from my computer to my sd card in usb storage mode. i really like this rom but i cant continue to reformat my sd card every couple of days and reload music download album cover redownload themes etc...its getting old... any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way i have tried reformatting with my computer and my phone so i know that wont fix it.

Reformat
Reformat your SD card by right clicking -> properties -> and format it. See if this helps. Also, try using another SD card to see if it is just your SD card or your phone that is bad. Deduce and solve
i have tried all of this reformatting from my phone from my computer every which way i could. i have used my disk management and nothing works. i decided to keep my 8 gb in there it is working without flaw. but both the 16 gb ones just keep getting corrupted. This is weird because when i tried installing miui with my 16 gb sd card it wouldnt work so after pulling my hair out for two days i found a post where someone said to use an 8 gb card to install it and i did and it worked perfectly. i guess this phone rom doesnt like 16 gb sd cards.
Hi guys im having an issue with a 32gb Kingston sd card, whats happening is that everytime i add files to my sd card from my computer it will show them to me that they are there. But once i put the sd card in my phone the new files i transfer wont appear :/. Ive formatted my sd card already like couple times and still does the same. Never did that to my 8gb card, and top of that when i transfer all my data from the 8gb to the 32 only half transferd and when back n fourth doing it folder per folder and just wouldnt show anything on the phone. Any suggestions, thank you

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.
Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

That sucks, sounds like a bad sdcard. You still got the receipt?
I got my 32gb lexar class 10 with USB SD reader for just under 50 and its been issue free. Never liked Kingston products.

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??
Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?

If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

New to android been on IOS for years, but Apple really started slipping so i decided to switch over ... anyway after getting the samsung galaxy note 2 i got the note 10.1 tablet. on my tablet i have a 32gb SD card, which was working fine until the jelly bean update a few days ago. now the SD card wont mount. i tried using windows to format it. That didnt work either, it would only format to FAT, FAT32 didnt even show up and then it would only allow me to get 8.0mb from the 32 gb SD card. even when i got desperate (giggity) the 8mb format thing didnt work. I read around and people mentioned going through recovery mode via clockworks or whatever its called. Tried that and couldnt format the SD because the external disk wasnt mounted and it kept failing to mount ...
Any suggestions?
Try using a card reader on your pc/laptop and format it using MiniTool Partition Wizard.
I tried that... Didn't work, and thnx though
Any other suggestions?

Edit:
-Can't mount internal or external in TWRP 2.2.3 so I can at least re-flash a ROM
-Every time I try to add files from the computer to internal sd card, I get prompted to erase "damaged sd card." If I skip the message, I can't read the files from the phone because they are immediately deleted
-Goddammit now I can't even connect with the USB this is seriously ****ed up. It's not even a brick because I can use all my apps and phone functions as long as they aren't saving data to storage
Running CM10, everything was completely fine until I did my monthly cache and davlik wipe and now my sd card is always "checking for errors." I can't access my external sd card but if I go to twrp recovery, I was able to mount the sd card(and the filenames turned into strange characters) but now that won't work a second time.
I was just about to backup the goddamn thing too.
Re: Wiping cache and davlik buggered up sd card and internal storage
Wiping your caches won't mess up your external sd card. They're not even on it.

It's very strange that those are the only I actions I performed before I started getting sd card problems though.

SD cards commonly go bad or become corrupted. Please stop spreading false info and fear.

Bought a new microsd yesterday and I just spent several hours transferring music to it(from the adapter itself and not my phone usb), and now everything on the card was wiped when using it with my phone some how. And I did confirm the files were actually on the card before safely removing. This is completely ridiculous. These problems happening twice in a row to a lexar product that has a "10 year warranty."

I didn't know lexar was even relevant in any market these days. Send it in if its got a warranty or buy a different brand that's not crap.

I'm mostly angry at having to copy large amounts of music back the sd cards. It wouldn't be so bad to get a new sd card again if the write speeds weren't so slow. Shouldn't class 10 get a lot more than 1MB/s?

I've had success with Kingston and PNY Class 10 SD Cards that said even they can become corrupt and fail. I've wiped my phone more times that I can remember and that ad never corrupted my SD card. I always have a back up SD card with everything on it and everything SD card is also backed up on a CD/DVD. Good Luck

What brand is the internal SD card? The same thing is happening to it now. I tried formatting in the phone, windows, even SDformat tool but everything keeps getting erased and the damage message prompts me to format.
Edited OP. ****ing frustrating.

It looks like you should odin back to a stock ics or gb rom and rebuild your system from there.
What was the best before sliced bread?

I did the whole procedure in the above link but I removed my external SD before doing it and now it doesn't give the error anymore, and I can now transfer via USB which is good. At least I can save info to the internal SD too. Once I get a new external SD I'll see if it still happens.
One problem I always had was getting no more than 1MB/s on usb transfering
