Try formatting and partitioning with Paragon Partion Manager.

Never heard of such an issue, i wonder if your card reader is interfering...

Help,
After i flashed my KAISER i have a problem. The sd card is not recognised anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?
I hope so, otherwise i have a brick
Storage card problem
I always used a 4 gig card, just tried an 512 mb card, and that one was recognised. Strange isn't it?
First, which method did you use to flash your new ROM?
If you used the USB method to flash your new ROM, did you remove your SD card during the flash process?
If you used the SD card method to flash your new ROM, did you do a hard reset with your SD card inserted?
Second, do you have an SD card reader for your computer? I would probably try to verify that the file system and data are intact on your SD card. If you have an SD card reader, you can also use it to reformat your card.
If none of this is helpful, provide some more information to fill in the gap between your microSD card working properly and not showing up on your phone.
Re
I flashed to TPCV5.1 full today. No sd in my phone.
My cars reader in the computer doesn't recognise the sd card either.
Strange thing is , when i use an other 4 gig sd card, the phone still doesn't recognise it, my card reader on my computer does, so why not on my phone.
I had a 2 gig sd card, and put all the data again on it, and it's working.
Stilli have a problem that my phone won't recognise a 4 gig sd card.
So far my story.
Does seem odd. What file system is your 4GB card formatted with? If it shows up as "RAW" or anything, I would definately format it to FAT32.
Edit: I was referring to your "other" 4GB card. I don't think I have any advice for the original one.
I just got a new SD card.
After putting it in my phone, android said it looked corrupted. Formatting didn't solve this.
I rebooted into recovery and partitioned my SD card.
After that, the SD card worked just fine, but it's slow.
Only 1.9 MB/s while it's a class 6 SD card.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the SD card, maybe a different way of partitioning it?
there isnt a way to really speed up the card. it might just be a bad card. try formatting it on your pc or mac as FAT32. results will vary with the speeds.
Recently my SD card became "damaged" or so the Android OS told me. I have a AData Class 6 16gb MicroSDHC card. When it gave me the initial message I attempted to "format" the card, yet it simply "pretended" to format it and then try to mount it again, where it said it was damaged. I tried to wipe the SD card, then i tried to wipe my phone, and neither of those seemed to fix it.
I spoke with a friend in the XDA IRC channel and he showed me an article saying that its possibly related to a bad boot, where i had no battery and tried to boot my device resulting in a fried SD card. This seemed likely, but then when i tried to use ANOTHER SD Card (2GB Sandisk) this one had the same issues.
Both of the SD cards work in my laptop card reader, so I no longer believe it to be a Card issue, and more a phone issue. I was able to boot into recovery and partition the SD cards, or so it said it partitioned. And then i was able to put the SD card into my computer after partitioning, putting some files on it, and then wiping it in recovery mode. All with the card still "functioning" but as soon as I boot into Android it says that the card is damaged, and the card no longer functions on my computer and I have to reformat it.
Is this a hardware issue with my G1? Or a software issue? All of the articles I have read about related problems say that it is a bad card, Which is why I am confused that a new card does not work as well.

Umm I think its a rom issue personally. Have you tried to wipe and reflash a different rom and try it? Or even reflash the same rom after a fresh wipe. Leave sd card formatted on fat 32 let the rom boot. Let it settle down. Then if everything seems ok. Then part sd. The reason why I'm saying this first is because I've had issues like this before. But at least try this so you can start to try and cancel things out.

I'm having a weird problem with a Nexus One. It had a 2GB microSD card in it that seemed to go corrupt (all the file names went crazy) so I reformatted it and it happened again within minutes. So today I bought a new 8GB microSD card and and the Nexus now gives the error of "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." It is unable to format the card, but it doesn't give an error. I tried formatting the card to FAT32 on my computer, still the phone thinks it is blank/unsupported.
I'm hoping the SD slot isn't fried... any thoughts?
You could try reformating the SD card in a computer using SDformater with erase on.
I have the same problem for a few weeks now. My phone can't seem to read the sd card at all. Thought it was the sd card so I bought a new one, but problem remains. I know both cards work (have tested them in another phone and the computer reads them). I've tried formatting the card in the phone and reformatting with erase on using SDFormatter in my computer but my phone refuses to read it. Think it might be my sd slot as well...
Currently running CM 7.1.0. Haven't tried a factory reset or flashing another ROM (how would one go about doing that with no sd card?) as I'm not too keen to lose that data if I can help it.
Did you manage to fix it?
I was not able to fix it and after many hours of troubleshooting, so I gave up. Good luck to you, and please reply if you find a solution.
While SD card scan, it says "SD Card is Blank" and "It's safe to remove SD Card" ?
My phone was stuck when I unlocked it to use it a few minutes ago. I pressed the power button for a few seconds to reboot the phone. While rebooting, the sd card scan resulted in two errors with the messages "SD Card Blank" and "It's safe to remove SD card."
I researched this issue online, and most people who had this issue had their cards corrupted or they stopped working, and did not show any data when plugged into a laptop using an adaptor. I used the adaptor that came with my Samsung Class 10 32 GB card, and plugged it in my laptop - all the data is on the card, and I am able to read data from the card, although it is unable to copy some files. So, it seems the card itself is fine, (maybe).
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and how did you solve it? I am on Crickelo v8 ROM, speedmod k3-7 kernel.
EDIT:
While copying data from the sd card to my laptop, it seems the corruption got worse, and now the card is not accessible. I tried formatting the card in the phone, but it's not working. Can someone suggest a good formatting app?
Update:
While I was trying to copy files from my sd card for my computer, the sd card got corrupted. I ended up formatting my sd card using the recommended software (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/) for my Samsung 32 GB Class 10 high speed card.
