Check to make sure your SD card is partitioned and formatted as primary (not logical) and fat32.
Best to use a card reader on a PC and using mini tools to partition etc.

"SD card blank or not present" but SD-apps run fine

Hello all,
I used a windows-xp to flash nAa-kernel05 and upgrade to miniCM7 2.1.3.
Once done, the phone booted properly. My SD apps work .. but the SD card does not seem to be accessible. In gallery it says: SD card blank or not present. Music player says no SD. Storage settings show no SD ..
It seems that the Fat partition is messed. How can I fix?
I'm not sure if it is related to the miniCM7 update.
Any clue?
i had similar problem ..
try to format your sd card with this software:
Code:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
I do not want to format, my data is accessible via card reader.
The sd card was running few hours ago.
I did the following (with no luck)
1- Using windows, fixed errors in fat32 partition
2- Missing "/system/xbin/parted" copied with pernissions
3- Reboot many times, wipe cache partition and dalvik
4- Edit the default capabilities xml file at the SD root, edited <boot> to have a low-case R after unlocking kernel.
Still cannot find the solution for my problem

Exactly, and also try to partition the sd card with minitool partition wizard, and then install apps in your sd, they might work better with an ext 2 partition, thats what i did, cuz my cards 8 gig, and fat is not an option.
I just tried to upgrade to 16 gb card and my phone did not like it. Random shut downs, apps did not run etc. Do I need to format the card in a special way before I can use it? I did a full clean install before trying a new card.
It may just be a dodgy card though... It works fine with my old 8 gb card.

RE: Blank SD Card
Try reformatting with HP Format tool - h t t p://www.mediafire.com/?eshgpfym21kzesv
Install the program then format your card to Fat32 via adapter if possible and not in phone.
Then format the card with the phone if necessary.
If this doesn't work then it sounds like your card is goosed Sorry
It didn't work, thanks for trying to help though

Phone won't see MicroSD

Hey all,
Last friday i wanted to place some MP3's on the MicroSD-card in the phone, 16GB. Something went wrong (Phone shutted down) and since then the MicroSD-card isn't recognized by the phone.
If i place another MicroSD-card in the phone it works with no problems.
The MicroSD that doesn't work in the phone, does work in windows with an SD Adaptar... I formatted the card (FAT 32), won't work... Resetted my phone... won't work... I can use the card in windows normally, it writes and reads data like any other card... but my phone just won't recognize it...
Anyone has some idea?
Can you format card by insterting it into phone and then format in Storage settings?

I formatted the bad MicroSD multiple times in Windows using Minitool Partition... It says its fat32, cmd chkdsk says its fat32... I can put content on the microsd and use the content.
But the phone won't recognize it.. It's a 16gb card and if the phone does not recognize it, i can't format it... It's like he phone doesnt even know there is an microsd inserted...
A 4gb MicroSD doea work on the phone...

I will try if i have someone with such a card... In the mean time wouldnt it be possible to make two 8GB partitions? Or 4 GBs?
If i make it an NTFS-card? Will it ask to reformat? If the phone can actually see the card... Sigh..

Didn't work... it's like the phone has turned off the SD-Card reader when inserted with that card
It's being checked on reading errors in windows..... but so far 0..
Well... no problems found..
I checked the info of the SD-cards.. changed the serialnumber of the one not working to the one working.. i also tried to change it to change the partition ID but that does not work.. it doesnt get changed..
Try this : insert SD card, go to settings, storage, and mount SD card.

I was just gonna say, if you have cwm you can format it from there. That's actually how I fixed one of my bricked SD cards. Only cwm could format it. Partition mini tool said bad disk.
Also try this from terminal or adb:
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1 and see what it says.

[Q] [HELP] My SD card does'nt read on my XMP

Help me...
I use guide from Galaxy Y > [GUIDE] Increase RAM using Swap File and Swap Partition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33472176#post33472176 )
I got 16GB SD card, so i try using this guide. It works, but i don't really like it.
So i want to go back (not using swap method), and i format my SD card.
But i fotgot to off the swap (like in the tutor, you mus off it, or your SD card can't be mounted)..
Now my SD card can't read by my phone :'( , i can't use it anymore.
Whe i connect my SD card with card reader, it show (not broken or something), and when in CWM, i choose mount SD card, i can backup.
But when i turn on my phone, it not read (mount) my SD card.
And i can't make swap (because my SD card did'nt read by my phone, it not show)..
help me
Tried it with a linux system? It must detect your card because swap partitions will be detected by linux systems .
Edit: format it in fat32 file system then only it will be recognized by your phone.

Formating sdxc card to fat 32 using only an android app

Hello I saw he video how to change int sd with ext sd so the phone thinks it has more space and so on... The truble is I need to format sd card to fat 23. And life does wonders - my card reader suddenly stopped working and I cant conect it to pc and format the card. Any way to go around that? Maybe there are apps that can do it in the phone? Coz I cant find them.

if you are rooted you could try to format the card in CWM, not sure though if it is 1) possible and 2) if it is then formated to Fat32 or the system you had on it before.
You could also try to connect your phone to your PC and format it that way.

Hello, ty for taking the time to answer, but i tried both of those things, both in pc and cwm i can format, but i cant select how to format, i dont know if it formats to fat or to fat32 or to something other. Besides after trying to format i tried to use the int to ext sd swaping (the thing that i wanted to do in the first place and the reason why i need to format to ext 32) and it didnt work so i believe that formating without selecting TO WHAT to format doesnt work.
