I can't mount the usb storage so i can put a rom on it from a computer. It says it's unable to find storage partition to mount to usb. I have no OS on there so I can't boot to anything. All I have is a recovery.
Why don't you just flash it with fasboot?

Yes, Flash stock rom with fastboot or you can try "sideloading any rom" and then flashing it.....
It took my awhile but I eventually figured that out. thanks.

install adb+fastboot,
while are in the bootloader you are able to flash a recovery like clockworkmode, then reboot into recovery.
if you got the correct driver you should be able to connect to your moto g while in recoery with adb.
then you are able to push, adb push *.zip /directory, or adb sideload *anyrom*. (dont forget to use install zip/use sideload..)
enjoy.

Could any one help me please?
I unlocked my bootloader using the One Tool. Installed CWM recovery but I formatted the whole device with no Rom or back up. I then tried to run a RUU (RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4) to restore it all back to to stock. But it only send me to a black HTC screen. Nothing else.
When I try to install the stock recovery the One Tool can not find the the phone.
Can anyone help at all please?
Does anyone know how I can bring it at least to a working order?

At this point you can adb push a custom rom zip to your sdcard (mount it in recovery first) and flash it. Then boot back into bootloader and fastboot flash the boot.img from the rom.
Alternatively, you can adb push a system.img extracted from a RUU to your sdcard and then dd it into /dev/block/mmcblk0p33

It is normal that you can't mount your sdcard onto your PC over USB in recovery, but you should be able to just mount it onto the root filesystem, so that you can adb push. Do you get an error message when trying to mount the sdcard in recovery? If you do, there is a sticky for that here in the Q&A forum. It comes down to flashing a stock recovery and then clearing storage or performing a factory reset in bootloader.

Ah ok. I do get a problem with Windows install the HTC MTP drivers when I am in Recovery. Basically I can't turn on USB debugging because there is no Rom to tell it to be in that mode, and that is why it thinks it is an MTP device!
Yes the error on CWM is "E: Can't mount <location>
I think I need to sort out the driver before I can start flashing the stock recovery.
I have tried to return the recovery to stock but it just won't send it to my phone. I can however mount it a disk drive via CWM.

You don't need debugging to use adb in recovery, recovery already has adb. Have you tried "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" while in recovery?
I had the same problem and this post helped me immensly

In recovery?
If you do Factory reset in bootloader it messes up your SD Card.
Boot into recovery
Select "Mount"
Connect device to PC via USB cable
Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
Reboot

Do you still have the drivers installed?

To be on topic, the phone has no rom? Okay, Boot into fastboot then on CMD do "fastboot flash zip [name].zip"
i belive it was..
if not RUU, i belive that's better than having no rom

Download the stock kernel zip from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202404 and place it in the fastboot folder. Then reboot in recovery and choose adb sideload. Open cmd and type : adb sideload namekernel.zip and press enter and that should do it, then reboot.

Hello,
When the phone is in recovery mode, the file explorer won't show up with your nexus files... The fact that a sound is coming proves that the phone is being detected...
If you have setup a working adb environment you can follow what @gee2012 has said and sideload the kernel and flash it... If you haven't then download the android sdk and make sure you have downloaded the usb_driver package as well...

First, don't yet think your phone it's bricked. The actual solution is to get the proper driver on the computer. Remember that nexus 5 does not have Sdcard and there's not way to mount to the computer via recovery. Only ADB PUSH and ADB SIDELOAD will put a Rom into your phone.
You have to check on device manager to see the status of the driver. if t shows as Nexus 5, you will have to update the driver to and adb compatible one. If it says ADB........ then, you are good to go
EDIT: @vin4yak, one day I'll go to ninja school too
1.) If your device is actually bricked then a USB cable will do you absolutely no good. Fixing a "bricked" device is something that will need to be JTAG'd for it to work again. I think you might be mistaken about what a bricked device is. Its pretty hard to brick a nexus device so I highly doubt you're device is bricked.
2.) You have to get into fastboot mode. Just search for how to do so. Then you can flash the stock img's through fastboot and you'll be back in business. I have no clue about what drivers you'll need for your setup as I haven't run windows in 9 years or so. Just get the drivers, fastboot, and get your nexus back.
Why don't you just flash a boot.img from the stock rom? Or going back to stock?
You cannot mount sdcard to the pc in recovery. You have to use adb push or adb sideload.
To make adb work in recovery you need naked usb drivers 0.73.
Then you can adb sideload a rom, or push a rom to /sdcard.
Anyway download my attachment, put your phone to fastboot mode and double click on flash.bat then report me back
Check out this thread. If you can boot into recovery, then you should be able to boot into fastboot and restore your N5 back to stock.

use adb sideload and install from recovery :
boot to recovery > install zip > install from sideload
open a terminal in the folder where you have the rom zip and type "adb sideload nam_of_zip.zip
It cannot read it

nevertheless, you can try booting on Linux, install ADB and set udev rules, then you shouldn't have any issues with sideloading (windows sux for android related things )
