If you mean when you're on the CWM and try to do anything you get an error that the SD can't be mounted, then I'm afraid you will need to take the phone back to stock mode and go up until the version you were running when the issue happened.
If you search over Google with the exact error you will find lots of solutions, even here on XDA, but I wasn't able to get it work (it happened to me once) and I solved it by doing what I just mentioned above.
Good luck with this!

Hi. I just installed CM 7.1 on my G2x and for some reason it's not detecting the internal SD card. Is there some thing I need to do to fix this?

It's at /mnt/ennc
Weird place for it IMO, but I'm sure there's a way to change it.
Aha. So it is. Unfortunately apps like the gallery and camera are saying I have no SD card. Is there a way to mount it so it's detected properly?

Yes there is. CM7 has a setting for swapping the mount points of the internal and external sdcards. I am not running cm7 currently though and can't remember where the setting is. After you change the setting, reboot for everything to mount properly. Ask over in the cm7 thread where the setting is or hopefully someone else will comment here.
The other solution would be to get an external sdcard for your phone. In my opinion that's the better solution but it also costs money so ...
Thanks for the replies. For right now I restored the stock ROM. There were a few things I didn't like about CM but I'll probably flash it again when I have more free time to mess with it.

I have made backups fine in the past, but I just tried again 2 times, and it gets to /data and starts going, then stops, and says there was a error backing up /data
What might cause this?
I have 8G free on the SD card

That's just weird usually its no space

Would the battery being low cause this? I mean mine was at 65%
No this is usually caused by space issues in your sd card. Backup ur sd card to pc and reformat? Maybe that might help.

He says that he has 8gb free, reformat might do it though... other then that I have no clue. Battery would have nothing to do with this issue.

Well that didn't work either, I tried a different SD card, and getting the same thing......it gets about 3/4 of the way through /DATA and then give that error
How many apps/games do you have lol?

If your trying to do a backup from the app as oppose to booting into cwm recovery you may have freezes.

This worked one time for me. Try unmounting and mounting system, data etc.

Well, I went ahead and installed the new ROM anyway, and restored my apps using titanium and then I went into CWM and mounted everything, and it let me make a backup of the new ROM so, I dunno...........
I have a heard of a rom not allowing people to back up for some reason before. Maybe a google search will help you for a reason? mind sharing what rom you were on?

My phone won't boot. I tried putting my Nandroid backup on the external SD card to restore, but I can't restore it with CWM. Whenever I hit restore, it says no files found. I've tried mounting/remounting the external SD option in Mounts and Storage. Whenever I mount them through this option,, they don't show up on my PC, so I can put the files on the internal SD. It does, however, show up in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation point. Odin does not recognize the phone.
Can you get adb to recognize it? If you can then you should be able to "reboot download". Hopefully that will "soft"get you into Odin/download mode. If that doesn't work you can make or buy a USB jig that will boot you into download.

I get a device not found error. Why am I unable to flash anything from an external SD card through CWM? Shouldn't this be a standard option?
Ouch. That sucks. Did you try mounting it in advanced menu? You might want to head over to the irc channel. There are a few of us in there. We may be able to help you out.

Is there any way on the gs3 to save your nandroids to the ext SD card?
Mine shows the option greyed out.

If you booted into CWM using the EZ Recovery app then you would notice that you can manually save backups to either sd card.

It might also be that you don't have your external card formatted to fat32. CWM doesn't like the exFat format that I believe all big cards come in.

If your talking about rom manager then yea thats normal!
On a side note, I recomend flashing files manually in CWM recovery...you would not believe how many threads I have helped folks get out of a softbrick or bootloop situation by flashing with rom manager. The app works great, but you still need to know the background information on what your flashing! To many people think since they can pull the file up on RM, it must be compatible, or they flash with the wrong recovery = soft brick! Part of the main reason my guide is written in its fashion...provides proper instructions to flash, makes one read a bit, and repeats its self to pound the info into ones head. Not tryin to preach to ya, just wanted to share some possibly useful info to yourself and others. thx
I was wondering the same about saving to external from rom manager. So our only option it looks like is to boot to recovery and manually go to save it to the external sd?

Yeah that's what I was saying. And I don't flash anything with room manager lol. Just bought it back when I had the OG droid and then I seen that option so I was just curious.

For some reason my phone is not taking the ext SD card as easy as it should. The card is relatively new and reads fine on my computer. On my phone however it sometimes says it has been unexpectedly removed. It picks it back up after a few seconds. There have been times it doesn't read the card at all and asks me to format it because of errors. I dont think there's anything wrong with my hardware. Possibly a ROM issue? Anyone have any clues or suggestions? Thanks

I've been having the same issue with the same size card. Also, when listening to music, and skipping through tracks using the volume up/down button (a mod on some ROMs, which I love...) the music player cuts out and says "Sorry, the media player does not support this type of file" when obviously it does, because it's played it a million times before. A reboot usually fixes it, but then there's a corrupted folder in the 'Music' folder on my extSDcard that looks like 'μEACTuih'. It's weird, but I know somebody out there knows how to fix this, could be changing the type of file system on the card I think, I'm just not sure how it's done...
Hopefully someone else reads this and can help!!
And oh yeah, I'm on Hyperdrive RLS15.
Damn.. Yeah.. Someone else suggested of could be the card but idk.. Works fine when it wants to

Try a different sdcard if it reads fine then might be the card
if running a 4.3 rom i read couple post of ppl that they have to format it
And if none of those work then it could be a hardware issue then Odin back to stock and replacement warranty
Good luck hope u fix the issue

I was going to ask how did you format your card? fat32 is the safest route for compatibility
