[Q] Can't mount sdcard CMW Recovery - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Can't mount the sd card right after i try formatted it with sd formatter on the pc while running cmw recovery. Eject it on the pc and when i try to flash zip files, it gives me error : can't mount /sdcard/
rebooted few times also try wiping/factory reset and even try to format again sd card from cmw. But Can't even format the sd card from within cmw itself as it gives the same error.
what can i do?

Take the sdcard out of the phone and stick it into a usb cardreader, then format it using sd formatter.

I had the same problem. If your phone is root-ed you can format sd card from recovery menu. (push home+start 'till you'll go into recovery mode), or you can following this link http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/.

[Q] CWM Internal will not mount SD card; however...

CWM (Indirect's Nook Tab Flasher) Internal will not mount SD card; however the SD Card version will mount the exact same card that the internal version won't mount (Just to keep it straight, the SD card with CWM boot is a different card then the card that will and won't mount. I take the CWM boot card out). To me, this implies that the card is formatted correctly. It is the same 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk card that I use in the tablet on a daily basis.
I have also tried manually mounting the SD card in CWM Internal. Will not mount.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I correct in assuming the card is formatted correctly? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
Edit--Solved--The problem occured because I was using QuickBoot to go into Recovery (CWM). I decided to turn my NT off and use Power + N. CWM booted, saw the SD Card and I was able to Backup.

SD Card Mounting Problem

After installing clean blank rom via cwm my SD card was mounting but, I decided to move back to stock, and did so by flashing using ODIN multi downloader. After that, my external SD Card did not mount.

Yes, I did remove and reinsert.
Did u try to change the rom?
If this just happened just after you flashed that ROM it could be...
1. Set through your settings
2. Unmount/mount manually
You can also try making a backup of your SD Card contents to your PC, reformat the SD Card.. put your backup back to the SD Card and reboot phone

I tried using CM9 but still, it didn't mount the micro SD card. The mount option in settings is greyed out in all Roms.

microSD CARD partitioning causes problems?!!

I have used partitions on my old rooted phone where I thought the sd card had crashed because of partitioning it. Now I have removed the partition and I am still getting problems. Then I formatted my whole micro sd card using windows. Whenever I insert my sd card into windows via my phone, it asks me to format it.
Why has micro sd partitioning wrecked my sd card???!!

I am also getting the bad zip file error on android! I am beginning to believe that partitioning has destroyed my sd card permanently!

E:can't mount/external_sd/

I've been having no trouble with flashing roms from my external sd card. I'm looking to completely wipe my phone (internal and external sd cards) to get a fresh install. I formatted my external sd card (via the phone). I then connected it to my PC, copied over my rom and a wipe tool no problem. My phone reads the SD card fine when it's booted up, can see the rom i've copied over.
When I re-boot into recovery mode with CWM-based Recovery (v6.0.1.4 - siyah), it says "E:can't mount/external_sd/" when I try to find my rom to flash.
I'm wondering if the problem is the siyah thing, it's not the kernal i'm using, if was installed on my phone with a rom I no longer use. That said, it wasn't an issue before I formatted my external SD card.
I've just updated CWM to ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.2 which has got rid of the Siyah version. I've also formatted the SD card again as i've read that formatting via the phone changes the file format to something cwm doesn't like. I did it via PC, it's formatted at exfat. Still made no difference, CWM won't read it.
Might be a silly question but did you go into "mounts and storage" I. Cwm and check the external sd card is mounted?

I have tried that. It didn't work, it would give the same error. I have managed to get it to be read in CWM, I downloaded the ROM manager tool, used that to put a partition on the SD card. Then I was able to format the card via CWM. I've not had a chance to put my ROM back on the SD card and retry. One thing is, when I booted up the phone after formatting the card in CWM, the phone shows it as blank or has an unsupported file system, saying it needs to be formatted. I wonder why there is a conflict?
I needed to format the sd card on my pc, it needed to be fat32. All sorted now

If you really want exFAT, try Philz recovery linked in my signature. It is CWM but with loads of great extra features (including exFAT support).
I actually thought that exFAT support meant it can format in exFAT. I find it odd that exFAT is the native format that Samsung uses but CWM doesn't support it.
Personally I use FAT32 myself as my main computer is Linux and exFAT is too microsofty for it to recognise.
I've installed that and re-formatted my SD card into whatever Samsung uses (think it's exfat) as fat32 was making windows explorer slow and crash prone
sup guys am having a problem with my samsung galaxy s3,via E:can't something related to mount format.............i mount for mated ,anyone who know how i can fix it?
