Try formatting it from your PC in FAT32 (not NTFS or exFAT) or from your Recovery.
Are you sure it's not mounting? Most CM-based ROM's, including Infection, do not use the internal storage volume, so it will appear empty if you did a complete wipe before installing.

+1 for formatting but don't format the internal sd card, my external sd got corrupt b4 and my phone recommended formatting and instead formatted the internal sd and I lost all my music and photos
Hey chaps.
For quite some time I've been unable to access my external sd card via recovery. I use astro explorer and I can access emmc which doesn't make sense in my mind
When in recovery I can access internal sd but not the sd card itself. I get the "E: can't mount /sdcard/" error. If I manually try and mount the sdcard it says "Error mounting/sdxard:

Does your phone recognize the SD card?? If so go to settings, storage and format external SD card

Hey guys ,
I have a 64gb SD card formatted to Fat 32 as exfat does not work properly. Unfortunately downloading large files will not work due to the fat32 limits. So my question is can android address NTFS correctly ?
I run CM10 with Siyah Kernel 1.8.
Thanks !

Have you tried using the phone itself to format the sd card? I would suspect it would put ext3/ext4 on it which does not have the fat32 limitations.
The phone would use fat32 aswell as it's made default for the external sd. Also ext3/4 can only be used if you mount the card after every reboot by hand in the terminal/with a startup script => you can't use mtp to move files between pc and phone. I still wait that the cm team apploes the patchs that ext4 will be possible format to be used as on the internal sdcard

Hmm that is a pity as I was hoping to be able to transfer larger files. I was looking into NTFS and using a mount app, but realised I would not be able to use the Backup features in recovery as it may not see the SD card . What a pain.
Actually is there a way to possibly format the SD card 1 partition FAT32 and the other NTFS ? Could the phone (S3) address two separate partitions ?
I've been having this problem and its really ****ing me off. Tried allsorts. Currently using cm10 and tried NTFS mounted with paragon but the fs keeps corrupting and so I have to run chkdsk on it to repair it. Also it doesn't stay mounted. Tried 2 partitions under windows using acronis disk director, the second wouldn't mount under windows or be assigned a drive letter, so I'm guessing that's an SD limitation.
I'm just on fat32 at the minute via guiformat but if I play music from the SDcard it locks up and just stops playing and I have to reboot. Even did this in stock Sammy ROM as exfat. Also tried sd speed increase and tested my read and write speeds. These improved and I got decent speeds so I can't understand why this is happening. Its such a ****ty stupid issue that you just can't play music from a memory card on such a phone with all of these different combinations, its ridiculous.

back-up the things you want to keep. Flash a stock rom with Odin. Now you'll have your internal sdcard back.
What the title says, whenever I flash an AOSP ROM, my internal SD card disappears, and I cannot access it until I flash back to TouchWiz. I've tried 2 different AOSP ROMs, same problem on both. When I flash between the two, I've tried naming the sdcard "sdcard" and "sdcard0" but neither work. Help me please guys..
Is your SDCard formatted as exFAT?

Nope. Fat32. My external SD card works. It seems that it mounts the internal SD card somewhere else. I don't know where though.

Missed the internal part. It should be /storage/emulated/legacy

I got it to work. I had to format my entire internal storage. Luckily I had a backup in my external card.

Format it to FAT32 if it isn't already.
Formatting will erase all files correct?
