Hello xda !
I've got a 16GB class 4 sdcard.
Recently I tried to partition my sdcard using Mini Tool Partition Wizard on windows.
I wanted to get a 1.4GB ext2 partition to do App2sd, and keeping the whole 13.5 left in FAT32 for UMS (Mass Storage).
It wasn't working, I think it was because I was doing it by a USB connection through my phone. I tried it at least 4 times, each time I was able to reformat the whole card in FAT32, so no major problem.
BUT now, I don't know why but my sdcard isn't recognized anywhere, is tried though MOTOROLA DEFY, SAMSUNG GALAXY PLAYER WIFI 4.0 and MICROSD COMPUTER ADAPTER. Even in Mini Tool Partition Wizard, I can't see it.
SO is there a way for me to recover my sdcard ?
If someone could help me it would be awesome guys
Baxt, xda-lover
Hi guys,
My SD card got corrupted before flashing a rom, so I'm a bit stuck (I can access the CWM menu, the kernel is fine).
So I formatted the card to FAT32 (tried other formats) but when I try and flash an update.zip from it I get
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
I also can't mount the sd card from the CWM menu.
So I'm thinking, are there some files missing from the SD card that CWM/android need to interact with it? I can imagine these files were wiped when I did a format. Like superuser files or something? You know also, those hidden files beginning with '.'
I've tried all the usual methods like formatting using SDFormatter and stuff - still, CWM can't see it (my computer can if USB is mounted). Am I right in thinking I need some kind of system files on the SD card?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
Card could be bad, try another one. If it works, trash the 1st one.

I also think that the SD card has the problem, I had also the same case before, but when I try my cousins memory card the SD card is now mounted in CWM..
for fixing you can try this commands on cmd
chkdsk /x /f (your sd card name)
and then press enter
WARNING:after fixing some bad sectors you will noticed that your some apps or things were zero bite on sd card.
INFO:"(your sd card name)" is means your card name for example like h: s: k: etc.and like this command
chkdsk /x /f h:
Hi, i have aproblem with my Micro SDHC Card (32 GB San Disk Ultra). I use it with my my tablet (p6810) but very often is unable to read the card or i can't move the files from internal storage to SD. Yesterday i've tried to format the card with my PC (filesystem FAT32) in order to verify if it works. The format has been completed with success.
After the format the tablet doesn't read it anymore and that is the same with my home and office computers. What can i do now?
Do you think that the tablet doesn't support this card?
Go to device settings > storage and if the EXTERNAL SdCard is detected, format it.

Hi folks
I have a 4gb sandisk sd card
I had a 512 mb ext3 partition and a 128 mb Swap partition
One day it suddenly became "read only"
I can access all files but can't add new.
Can't click pics etc..
I tried formatting via PC
My pc showed an empty disk but when I put the sd card back in all the files were back :/
I have tried DoD 7 passes wipe using MiniTool, unpartitioning the sd card, reformat, changing file system, everything!
But the sd card returns to its original state when I put it back on my phone :/
I've tried it on 3 different androids and a Java based phone.. I own a windows 8 32 bit PC.. with all drivers properly installed and USB slots fully functional.
Any help will be appreciated ASAP
