Could you elaborate on your question? I dont really understand what your trying to ask.
Not sure what you want to do but if you have a microSD card reader you can format the card with fat32.
Also another way is to boot into recovery (most recoverys have this) and you can format the sd card with fat32/ext/swap partitions.

On the ext partition? One option is to use nandroid--it will make a tar file (I think it's called "SD Data" in the nandroid menu, but I'm not sure). Or if you use linux, you can mount and backup the ext partition directly.
Thanks....

I searched and saw some people are having the same issues just on different devies. When I reboot into cwm, I tied to backup my current rom and it says it can't mount the sd. So, I can't backup, I can't flash, I can't do anything.... Anyone know of any soultions?

CWM only work with the micro sd card. You need to have the files you want to flash on the removeable micro sd card.
Also it only backup to micro sd card so you need one format as FAT 32

I have noticed that when I flash new roms that some of the old folders and files are still intact on my sd card (phone internal storage), is there a way to format this? I noticed under cwm recovery there is a format sd card, would this accomplish what I am wanting to do or would that format my external sd card? If so is there any disadvantages or advantages other than cleaning up some free space?
thanks in advance!

Can you format your emmc from cmw recovery? Is there a disadvantage of doing it?

You can format it and the disadvantage is if you have anything important or that you want on it gets deleted so go through and backup important stuff pics and whatnot
