Hello there!
I've just deleted the external_sd folder in /sdcard with the Windows Explorer. Now Android isn't able to recognize the external sd card... there isn't an external_sd folder anymore and settings says "not available" - formatting doesn't help.
Windows still recognizes the sd card with an adapter.
Please help me and sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S I9000 and CM7
thanking you in anticipation
Try to format with windows

Tryed this already...he just says "Prepare SD card" (or something like this - I don't know the English translation) and "Searching for Errors"(same here ^^) on reboot and nothing when I insert the sd card...
I already tryed a factory reset an reinstalling cm7 via CWM - no external_sd folder :/
Try with this apk:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xregroup.formatsd

Thank you, but the app didnt work...no external_sd folder and i cant access the sd card ....

You could try the following:
Code:
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
Using either a terminal app or adb shell
restart the phone and maybe it'll mount the external SD?
Or general reset device, or complet reflash firmware with pit and repartition...
Regards
Looks like its the link in the internal sd card TO >> external sd card >>>that you have wiped .So the card cannot be seen as the link no longer exists that points to the external card .
Just back up data and factory reset .
jje
Neither Factory Reset nor creating the folder and reboot worked...
I hope there's a solution ...
I flashed XXJVK with bootloader and repartition - and the sd card worked.
Than i flashed cm7 - factory reset/completely new - and the sd card didn't worked...
Why can't CM7 identify the external sd?

I a not the best person to answer. But when I couple weeks agosd used cm7 there was no external sd folder but the external sd was accesible in /mnt/emmc/
The folder /mnt/emmc/ is also empty.

If you read CM7 bug list it says that you can't use external SD.
But it had worked...I used my external sd until i deleted the folder.
Why did it work ?

that is sooooo old it should work now
perhaps his problem is related to drivers it should work with jvk thou.....
@thread starter tried to flash a full rom then initial again?
you tried to creat a dir and than mount the card again?

did you ever install jv1?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
no i just flashed jvk, juwe's and than cm7
According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039129, it's maybe a permission problem. I tried to set the permission of /mnt/emmc to 777, but it resets after a reboot.
iam a total newbie. but i read sumwhr that creating a folder with name "external_sd" and rebooting might work. so try that

You need to use the right CWM version. The latest CWM (5.0.2.0) provided by ROM manager (see market), for example, uses the external SD as default.

What happens if you start CWM with the external SD taken out?
(Do you mean you cannot mount the internal via adb while in CWM?)

There have been a lot of problems with ext file systems on the sd cards and mounting in the recovery. Some claiming it to be unsupported other that it works. Only thing you can do is try to make the partition with different tools. For example mkfs.ext2, gparted, different windows tools etc. Also different sd cards if you have.
Hope it helps.

Yes, you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1098745.html
If you need v5 you could also try to mount the internal SD manually in CWM via adb shell and the following commands:
umount /sdcard
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard
^Thanks guys! Its working
Let me try ....
May I know, where to set Ext SD card as default, inside the ClockworkMod Recovery or the Rom Manager inside set it ?
i just bought and installed rom manager from market last night and when i did backup of my current bell 2.3.4 rom, looked on ext sd, not there, thought b/u didn't worklooked on int storage, there it was? how do i change settings to ext... looked for 30min. thank-you for any help
mine saves backups to internal. but only finds backups from external, so I must move files to backup.
My clockwork goes like this
-launch backup from application in use mode, it saves backups on internal
-manually enter recovery and launch backup, it saves on external

I'd advise going with 1 or 2.
Don't rename the sdcards as it may cause problems....

If you have anything on the SD card, you can transfer the contents to a PC and reformat the card using:
System Settings > Storage > Erase SD card
You can copy-back whatever you need from the PC.
That should set everything back to where it needs to be.

I was running rooted stock ICS for Turkey and I installed JB for Germany after it released. When Turkey update for JB released, I moved on it and tried to restore my settings and apps. However when I tried to restore, while Titanium Backup in progress I got the error memory full and couldn't achieve the restore process. I erased backups more than one and tried to do wipes but no solution. I made a clean install again and there were about 1GB space but when I rooted and installed Titanium Backup again, the space decreased to 400MB. I guessed there was a problem about TB and now I decided to run a complete new install.
So my question is how to format SD Card completely? There are a lot of folders about apps and apps that I removed etc. I want them gone and I want my phone as it is on the first day. How can I do that progress? I tried factory reset but it didn't involve SD Card. Everything remains same. How can I erase all the things on SD Card?

If you are on safe kernel then yes you can format your internal sd card. Just go to SETTINGS>STORAGE>FORMAT SDCARD(INTERNAL STORAGE)
