SD Card won't mount correctly in WinXP

Hi all, i do have big problem with my 4GB SD Card in Vodafone 845 (Androind 2.1) which won't mount correctly in WinXP SP3. New drive letter is assigned to SD Card, but when i try to access this new drive i always get message "Drive not found!". Approx. 1 week ago this procedure was working fine, and i was able to access new drive without any problems, but now this is not working for unknown reason. I tried to remove and reinsert SD Card, but it didn't help. SD Card is 100% fine, i can access data on it through phone itself - wallpapers, music etc. I thought that maybe USB cable is damaged, but it's not. I can access all data which are located in phone memory without any problem through this cable in Windows. Then i thought PC Suite app which was provided with this phone became corrupt so i reinstalled this app including phone drivers, but this didn't help. I tried to search for newer drivers for this phone, but i didn't find any. In device managers all devices are and were correctly installed - no unknown devices asking for drivers. So then i decided to do fresh install of Windows XP with hope that this will solve problem, but situation is same and it didn't help at all. I tried to install "automount" app from market, but it didn't help at all. I'm playing with these for long hours now, but still no working solutions. Can somebody help me to solve this issue?

The only thing I see is that you have tried everything BUT you have not tried formatting the card yet. Yes I know you are going to lose everything on it but that is the price we pay some of the time. Format the card and if it still doesn't work, let us know.

Thanks for advice!
Sorry for late reply, i was lying in the bed with flu. I reformatted SDCard and flashed new custom Mr.Edition 1.8 ROM. It's working fine now, i'm able to mount sdcard properly in Window XP now. Seems there was something wrong with SDCard, like if some installed app amended something in SDCard parameters, so WinXP was not able to recognize and mount it. Do you think is it possible?

[HELP] Uninstalled LG drivers now SD card is not recognized

Well, after getting a blue screen on my PC I then tried what most suggested: DELETE/UNINSTALL any LG driver and re-plug phone to install drivers again.
I went to uninstall programs and got rid of the LG driver there, then plugged my phone up and apparently installed two out of three files successfully. I rebooted my pc and now I plug my phone to it and two things:
1. My computer does not see the sdcard
2. My phone does not see my sd card
When I try to go with phone file manager to SD card it says.... SD card not mounted.
What to do now?

Is it mounted in the Settings > Sd card & Storage menu?

Nope...
I'm running cm7 and in the storage menu there are 3 breaks:
the first one for the SD card, second one for internal and third one to show you how much space is left in the SD card...
Well, in the 1st slot there is not card mounted but in the last one it does show how much space is left/used.... very weird if you ask me!
I will check if the sdcard is not bricked now with a sdcard reader...

well, I think the SDcard is bricked.... I put in the SD reader and connected to my pc and it is not being recognized!

UPDATE: Bought a new sdcard and I still can't mount my card to the pc? WTF!!

Have you reinstalled the LG drivers? Your PC cannot access even the SD card without those drivers.

This is why, once I upgraded past G1, I decided to not root anymore. 2.2 with a strong phone works great. I focus on being a "power user" and not a modder because, quite frankly, it takes way too much effort and the risk of messing up my phone is too great. I just don't understanding stepping out on that ice all the time, when the phone works so well without modding it beyond the user experience.

download from LG site
Hi,
Have you tried downloading and installing the latest drivers from LG website?
I couldn't connect to SD at first until I used the downloaded drivers.
No problems anymore here.
grtz,
Pfeffa-rah

UPDATE: I have went back to eagleblood's rom and now I am able to mount my internal and external sdcards to my pc *HAPPY*
I plan on going back to CM7 and hopefully I am able to mount the cards again without the BSOD!

UPDATE: as stated earlier... I went back to CM7 and now all my f'ng drivers are messed up again...not able to mount/unmount SDcard!!
CM7 should look into this.

[A]MicroSD won't mount in recovery or android

::::::::ROBLEM::::::::::::
​ok, just posting this in case anyone has a similar problem and does a search so that this will come up for them.
My phone died in the middle of booting up while it was doing a media scan.
Upon plugging the phone in and letting it charge for a while, I turned it on and the sd card wasn't recognized. I rebooted to recovery and it would also not mount there.
I tried formatting from recovery with extreme FAILURE LOL.
SD card reads fine from PC through a usb adapter.
Formatted SD card from pc and tried it in the phone again and still would not recognize it through several different recoveries or in android.
FIX::::::::::
​
So what I ended up having to do was connect the phone to the computer through the supplied USB cable.
Odin the charge.pit file make sure repartition is checked
Odin a full rom combo of any type, I used ep1q bloated.
Then booted into recovery and everything was successful in mounting the microsd card. Installed the rom of my choosing and it recognized it fine in android again as well.
Just figured some other person may have this problem again. I figured my microSD went tits up, but it was fine when used in the PC. Thanks for listening.

What my solution to this was
Shortly after putting my 16gb micro SD card from my Evo3d to EvoLTE, it wouldnt mount. stick it in, "mounting SD" and immediately "Removing SD" etc. Same thing with another android phone while their SD mounted fine.
Plug into windows and there is no SD to mount so i tried a microSD to SD converter card in windows and after very long delays i would see my file structure but nothing copied over.
Heirens Boot CD (i had 15.1) booted into the linux recovery/backup mode and was able to copy from SD to the HDD. Not sure if i'll try to wipe and re-use or just replace the 16GB card nor if it will mount at that point. Its still copying various folders but i got all my DCIM (4gb worth) back so i'm a happy camper either way.
Just thought i'd share how i got my data back at least

USB connection problem.

first my rom and android version are not important coz i had usb connection working before with same build.here is the thing,one day i removed my external sd card from my phone and put it in my brothers k850i to listen some music on se speakers.when i finished i just removed it coz that phone doesn't have safe remove like ours does.when i placed sd card back in my phone i got error msg that i need to reformat my sd card,but i couldn't lose all my data since i was going on trip tomorrow.so i restarted the phone with sd card inside and it worked(everything no error msg).i went to trip and when i came bace i noticed the problem when i connected the phone to my pc(tryed both win 7 and win xp,i have 2 pc's) to copy some photos.i got 'USB device not recognized' error i tried doing recovery in cwm reinstalling drivers even removing sd card didn't help.sd card is working just fine in my phone and also when i place it in bro's phone and connect to pc i can copy files with no prob(tho when i reinstert it while phone is turned on i do get error for re format).only thing that is going on my mind that cable might be broken,but no1 used it while i was on trip so i dont think so.help needed urgent.

it happened with me also. Its all because of ****ing kies installatio. I dont know why it happens but it sometimes happens.
Do like this
1. uninstall kies & everything related to phone from computer.
2. backup ur external sd card data on pc with some card reader. Then format it properly. Then insert in phone. Again format from phone.
3. Restart computer. Install kies properly.
4. Connect phone in kies mode. Let computer install drivers properly.
4. If everything goes well then with card reader again fill up data in sd card. Then insert sd card in phone. Then try in mass storage mode.

corrupted sd card but PC sees it just fine

So, about the problem. All was fine untill a few hours ago. My note 10 notified me that my SD card is corrupted. OK, no biggie, lets just take it out and put it back in. Worked before, but not today.
Tried the same SD card in my laptop, worked without any problem. I'm feeling trolled. Next i tried with otg sd card adapter. It says "no supported partition was found".
Next, tried another SD card, still nothing. Tried that one with otg - bam, works. So, it's not card that's bad. Tried another one, was empty so i formatted it on phone. Nope - still corrupted. No matter how many times i formatted it, it's always corrupted.
But it works on laptop. All 3 of them work on laptop. Two of them i can see with otg, the one that was all the time in the phone says no supported partition.
Then i thought, maybe the sd reader in phone broke. Rebooted to recovery and guess what? First SD card that showed corrupted message works just fine in recovery. Now, one reset to factory setting would probably solve the problem but i have tons of apps that i'd need to backup and no space to do it because my sd card ain't showing in OS.
All i wanna know is am i doomed to reseting android or is there any trick i could use to avoid that?

Copy all things on your pc,format the SD Card in the Phone and copy all Things back to SD Card

nope, didn't work. had to reflash OS
