funny, mine is the opposite, it is detected in CM7.1 but not in recovery. I have no idea what to do next.
partitioned?
im assuming your memory card is partitioned for a2sd.
1. fat32
2. ext4
ive experienced this problem when i forgot to set both partitions as primary when i did the reformat. if it is just logical partition, one would not be detected.
after i was flashing turl cm9. it was fine but there were some problems that it can't recognize my atrix's internal storage and every-time after reboot the phone,it tells me that the SD is blank and required to format the SD card. hope someone can help me...many many thanks
You must flash sdcard-swicth.zip to solve this problem.

Switcher just switches emmc and sdcard around.

So how can I use the internal storage? I'm so stupid that I had forgot to backup the internal storage before I flashed the ROM...
Can someone let me know what they are using to check partitions on their removable sd cards. I have partitioned in the past using the 4ext recovery on my old G2 but now want to get rid of the ext,.....
also what format is best to use for the whole card? 4EXT / fatext or what?
Thanx all!!!!
Please help guys,.....
I thought this would have been can easy one for ppl to give suggestions on?
Also I don't have a separate card reader so need to be able to do it from the phone itself or by having it connected via usb.
Pleeeeeeaaaassssseeee help.

You will need to format the card on the phone itself..it will partition in FAT32 format..this is the format S3 used..you can try NTFS but only Siyah kernel will work with it AFAIK..
FAT32 is the format to use here,,
Thank Z.
So if I format through Cwm recovery it will also get rid of all partitions right?....... Data / swap / extdata?...... I don't actually remember how many partitions are on it.

Format it using the Format option present in Storage under settings..or connect it to a PC and format is as FAT32 ..all the partitions will be deleted and you will have a brand new FAT32 partitioned ExtSdcard.
Thanks again pal. Appreciated.

Hello xda members. I have a problem with my sd card. Tried to repartition in cmw and something went wrong. Now I can only connect sd card to computer is to mount in recovery. Also it shows that sd capacity is 2.9gb instead of 4gb. I cant transfer any files to sd card because they didisappears. I have searched in forums, tried everything, nothing helps:crying:. Please help me
Format the sd card and start again. Don't mess with partitioning this time.
already formatted with fat32. Doesn't work

As a rule of the thumb please don't use CWW for partitioning your sd card as it cause errors. Try a tool called minitool. Use it to repartition your sd card with your card reader and computer. Then format it to FAT 32 file system. Hope it works for you !

The official organizaction that designates the SD card standards has a tool for formatting SD cards called SD Formatter which can be found here https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/. Make sure select the full format option.

SD card formatter also didn't help. It still shows 2.9gb available storage and I can't copy anything
Maybe there is hidden corrupted partition and some programs cannot see it. In recovery I can't mount sd ext. Maybe problems are with this partition?

Another suggestion would be to try using the gparted disk partitioning utility if you have linux you can download it from here gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php or use a live CD/USB version of it http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php.

As long as you just reformat the SD card and not any of your other hard drive partitions it will not harm your computer.

I use EaseUs professional edition for my PC, but they have a freeware version you could try for your SD card: I can't post links yet, but if you search google for EaseUS Partition Master home edition, you should find the link to download it.

Make sure under the bios setup options you have CD as first boot device rather then the hard drive this should allow you to boot the gparted live CD.

There is at least a loss of 800 MB. Using mini tool see if there are unused space. Try these steps:
1) First of all delete all the entire existing partitions .
2) Then create a single partition .
3) Perform a full low level format using FAT 32 file system.
4) See if this works otherwise your sd card has got bad sectors which might be unrecoverable even using scandisk

If your file size was greater than 4 GB than it is an SD card limitation.You would need to format it into exFAT system to overcome this limit..
