By pure accident I formatted the internal sd card on my atrix to ntfs. The problem is I cant seem to mount it in order to format it back to fat32. Any ideas?
How do you 'accidently' format the internal SD to ntfs???
How did I 'accidentally' format the internal sd card. Had an external sd card in, which for some reason was named to mot as well. Wasn't paying to much attention and wanted to format the external one to ntfs but must have clicked on the internal one.
That sucks d00d. If it was the external card - you could use a card reader and your PC to reformat.... Idk what to tell ya about the internal.... Maybe someone who's done this and fixed it could chip in with some info here? I did a quick search on it, and didnt turn up with anything... Sorry I can't help ya man.
Connect your phone to your PC, and format the card to fat32 the same way you did it to NTFS.

I tried to do that, but the problem is it wont mount. It says sd card damaged you may have to reformat it. But when I click that it says "sd card has been removed"
Try using CWM recovery to format the internal sd card.

Try formatting sd-ext or internal storage rather than /sdcard. Don't format anything like /osh, /data, /system, /cache etc.

Go to your device forum. People there are more likely to know and help you on how to solve your problem. The solution I will give is a Atrix only solution. I believe samsung has a software of the name "odin" but you have to check with the people in your phone forum.

Maybe you can try flashing a SBF. Make sure you know what you are doing, and flash the full one, some SBF leaves your internal SD untouched.

I just created a ext3 partition for my sd and it got screwed the phone couldnt recognise it said it has corrupted. ended up formatting it through phone now my firmwares screwed cant mount sd, keeps rebooting and not able to use the notification bar (TRIPMIUI mod by cf) now im reflashing my FW throuugh SEUS. Lost all my contacts and messages. Can somebody tell me where did i go wrong to cause this landslide of BULL?
- formatting sd should go first Fat32 then the remaining space go to ext2/ext3..
- both should be formatted in primary. The phone need to read the fat32, those ext2/ext3 are for the system link which only work after the phone boot up normally.
- Full backup is always a good way to prevent any unwanted landslide of fire...
I have the same issue. Partitioned my SD card and my phone could not find it after. I also tried to resize my fat32 partition with data on it along with a ext3 partition to see if it would find my sd card but had no luck making it work.

If you want to start over, reformat your SD card with this:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
For some reason, some of the custom roms do not recognize the SD card after you've created partitions. Reformat and try again.
Even when I reformat my sd card the phone does not detect it. I believe that its because of my ext3 partition. seems like the phone reads the 2nd partition (ext3) as the main partition of the sd card.
Where does the android system determine which partition is the main one?
There must be some type of script that tells the system what partition to look for. Am I right?
If there is then maybe we could mod the script so it, always reads from a certain position first.
Anybody know anything about something like this?

Hello guys.
I want your help! I don't know if the problem is from my card or from my recovery.
I've connected my SD-card to my computer in order to make back-up for my data(I think that was a little premonition).
After that I wanted to copy a new ROM to the card in order to flash it, but the speed was too slow. So I've enter into Recovery in order to copy there the ROM(mount the card as USB). Then, I've noticed that the speed was very low so I've decided to format the SD.
I've put into the card reader of my laptop and made a full format of the card(FAT32).
Last stap, I've inserted the card into my phone and tried to Mount as USB, but, than appeared the big error:
"Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)!"
After that I've tried to repartion the card..but only the same message appeared.
I've to mention that my ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23789395#post23789395) is working fine!

I've tried that too. No chance. I've format the card with http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html. It can see all the partitions from SD card. On that card I had an ext4 partition(from my old HTC Desire). After that, in phone I can see the card(both Android and Recovery) but can't copy anything on it.

Try formating the card threw the sd options in SD/ storage setting. Meaning unmount the sd. Then format the sd. When its complete it should remount the sd automatically. Also you should try reflashing your recovery. Also what rom and kernel are you using??

SD card partitioning
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning This application worked for me. make sure to backup your data to pc so you can restore it to SD card. Also check to make sure that the pins in the micro SD slot inside phone are making good contact, I had a problem with the center pin. Good Luck!

Rollback to your backup and see if everything's working fine, then perhaps reflash to the latest Recovery?

Hrm... Not sure. To confirm, you can't see or mount either the external SD, OR the internal SD? (When plugged into your computer, right?)
