There must be a problem in the partitioning process
Re-partition your sdcard
Just re-partition you sd card with 0MB of swap...it has happened to me and I solved with this

I attempted to partition the sd card with ext4, and was not able to get it to work. I then attempted to return the sd card to fat32 using but now Clockwork Recovery refuses to mount the sd card, failing with only 'Error mounting sdcard'
I've done this procedure before, and was able to use Windows XP to re-partition and format the sd card at which point Clockwork was able to mount it, but this time it's not working.
So my questions would be, what are the specific parameters of the partition is the phone looking for? Should it be MBR, GUID? Is there some sort of option during the partitioning or format I'm missing? What about volume label?
I've checked fstab and recovery.fstab and they both list vfat as the partition type. At a loss here, would hate to have a bricked phone simply because I can't take the darned sd card out.
Im on cm7 and i just reformatted my sd card by going to settings/storage/erase sd card. It formatted but now every time I click mount it says blank sd card and doesnt mount. Also it wont recognize when I plug it into my computer with the data cable. Thanks.

Mount and format menu, format /sdcard make sure you backup first.

When I mount my phone, it gives me only my external SD card. But I want to mount my internet SD card. Because I want to flash cm9.
Anyone know how to mount internal SD?

MT4GS doesn't have any internal SD Card
Oh...Well My external SD card 1 was a FAT32 system. Couldnt mount on Clockworkmod, I used my SD card2 with FAT system and it worked(But ran out of space when backing up..). Tried using my SDcard1 and it couldnt create a path for nandroid. So basically my SDcard1 is corrupted :\
Good day XDA! My i9003 galaxy SL internal memory is damage or bricked and I managed to tweak vold.fstab and use my external sd card as internal my problem is how can I flash a custom rom on it? my external sd card is already detected as internal sd.. any idea how to flash a custom rom? Thanks in Advance!
by the way is it possible to partition the external sd card (micro sd card) and can be used as internal sd and external sd?
I think it's can,and cmw detect it not external but internal

Hi, thanks for the reply so there's a possibility to flash it with custom rom right? but my problem is you can only update in clockworkmod through sd card and it will actually pop up cant mount sd card because i already swap my external sd as internal sd. I hope there will be an option choose zip in internal sd card anyone here can give a guide how to update the rom without sd card? TIA

custom rom only flash the system partiton and kernel image. so int sd would affected. i think.
and the cwm having option to choose zip fom int sd.

i use cfroot come with bam kernel, verion 5.0.2.8
in option intall zip from sdcard, there are option to choose zip from sdcard and choose zip from internal sdcard.
in you condition, the mmcblk1 (ext sd) now is mmcblk0 (int sd) right?
and you have make 3 partitions in your ext sd to act as int sd for your data partition right?
so, in android, if you copy zip file to you sdcard which is mounted in windows, it will located at mmcblk0p1, that is emmc partition of the cwm.
and you can flash it in option choose zip from internal sdcard
Those are the theory i can think about, cause my phone still having the mmcblk0 and mmcblk1, hence i cant test to proof it.
so in the cwm fstab,
Code:
/dev/block/stl11 /cache auto rw
[COLOR="Red"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data auto rw[/COLOR]
/dev/block/stl10 /datadata auto rw
[COLOR="red"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /emmc auto rw[/COLOR]
/dev/block/stl9 /system auto rw
[COLOR="red"]/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard auto rw[/COLOR]
Recovery fstab
Code:
# mount fstype device
#/boot bml /dev/block/bml7
/cache rfs /dev/block/stl11
[COLOR="red"]/data rfs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3[/COLOR]
/system rfs /dev/block/stl9
/datadata rfs /dev/block/stl10
#external
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
#internal
[COLOR="Red"]/emmc vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1[/COLOR]
edit, in my understanding, (i still a noob), due to partition assignment for the android, external sd is set to be mmcblk1 and mmcblk1p1, so now the external sd is mmcblk0, it have no more hardware to call mmcblk1. hence, not possible to make a extra partition in mmcblk0 as external sd. except mod the kernel and android setting to change mmcblk1p1 to mmcblk0p4.

Are you able to reboot to recovery?
If so, just copy a custom rom to your sd card (cm9 I'd recommend) and browse it in cwm.
Flash the zip file and it should be done.
This should most probably work but still if you face any difficulty then,
Flash a stock rom via odin and then flash a custom rom via cwm.
Good luck. And let me know if it worked.

Hey Guys,
My Phone is a Nexus S with CM-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-crespo. + CWM Recovery.
Today i have tried to partition my internal sd card, (the nexus s have only the internal sd Card), because i wanted to install the Link2SD app which need a ext4 partition to link the programfiles.
What i Did:
1. Connet the Phone via USB to Computer
2. Mount sd Card
3. Run Minitool Partition Wizard on Windows
4. Delete the Partition on the SD Card
5. Create a Partition, 13GB, Primary, FAT32 for media files
6. Create a Partition 1 GB, Primary ext4, for the programfiles.
7. Restarted the Phone
The Phone is still working, but i dont see the SD Card anymore on my Andorid device. I have also tried to Mount the sd card in the CWM. I tried to do a factory reset and checked the box "format sd card)
Did not work
Can you please help me? How could i restore the lost party of my internal sd card?
Thanks,
Magor

You have put your self in a major mess. You should have partitioned the SD card using CWM. Now you can try to partition SD card using CWM just forget the 1Gb partion that you lost.
