I was copying a ton of files from my sd card to my external sd card via root explorer when I noticed my system was hanging. I restarted and my permissions on the folder were out of whack and I couldn't access it. Changed the permissions and rebooted now it works fine while my system is running, however, when I try to mount the drive in clockwork mod it tells me I can't mount it. Used to work fine. Anyone have an idea on what I need to do to get it to mount again?

Did you try to format your card and set everything for the begin?

So I've erased my internal sdcard and would like to recover using a microSD. Problem is, CMR is unable to mount /sd-ext. Has anyone else been stick in this situation?
Okay so I'm using the USB mount option to copy a recovery image back over to the internal sdcard. Still curious about mounting an external sdcard in CMR though.
In the recovery file change to sdcard2 and it will run from their

now sure what happened but today i can't write to my SD card. I noticed when one of my backup apps tried to do the backup and it failed because it wasn't able to write to the card. I'm running liquid smooth 3.2 and it was working fine that i noticed. i can read and open things on the card but i can't delete, move, or write on the card. any ideas?
You may want to try to unmount and remount your sdcard. You may also want to reboot just to get things to fall back into place. Do you have any apps that automatically mount or unmount the SD card?

tried the restart and even reinstalled the rom with no luck... when i try to unmount sd card it just sits there saying unmounting but nothing happens
tried to just connect to comp for usb storage and seems i can't even do that anymore. maybe the problem is the mounting and unmounting of the sd card now i can't even change to another rom to see if its a rom problem.
I made a nandroid backup and tried to restore it but it says it failed..and can't mount system or anything then phone won't boot up..help?

That's odd. I found that the Orange 4.0.1.4, as I recall, was very reliable and worked very well with backups and restores. I would suggest copying the contents of the SD card to your computer. Then I suggest running a chkdsk on your SD card. You would type the following into the command prompt (run as aministrator).
chkdsk F: /f /r /v /x
After it is done I would format the SD card as FAT32 with 32K sector size.
Then I would copy the contents that you copied off earlier back to your SD card.
I know this might not seem relevant, but at least it would take SD card corruption out of the equation. It doesn't take too long and its pretty easy to do this, you just need an SD card reader if you can't boot into your phone to mount the SD card.
If you still have the same trouble, I'm not really sure what do tell you. It seems that there is a problem with the SD card or reading the SD card. You could try to copy the contents of your SD card to another, different SD card and give it a go.

There's also a little blurb in the OP for CWM recovery that tells you a possible way around the sdcard mounting issues.
I encrypted my one of my spare nexus s phone to see how the encryption process works .Know the issue I am having is USB storage won't mount in recovery even though I choose mount SD card .
Any other way to mount the SD card, when the phone boots up it gets decrypted when I put in a password, guessing this is the issue that SD card cannot get mounted because its not decrypted .

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:
