Hey guys, I have searched and searched for an answer to this question to no avail-
When I try to copy the .zip files for cm7 over to my sd card, I get an error that the sd card is not formatted. I started with a brand new card, formatted it to fat32, and burned the .img to it.
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks in advance!

Eject it, wait about 10 sec and re-insert it and see if that fixes the issue. Windows is innane in the way it handles media and can't be bothered to read after writing in some instances, especially after a format.
migrax
Bingo! That did the trick!
Thank You!

I think I damaged my Kingston SD while I was trying to format it. Now when I put it into place it keeps saying "SD card safe to remove
You can safely remove your SD card". ;( My Galaxy is running MIUI 4.3 Help me, please! What should I do ?
When I inserted my SD with to my laptop none of the files were deleted nor the card was formated.I used Panasonic SD program to format but there is the same notification showing only when I insert the card in the phone.

Insert the card, ignore any messages and reboot the phone.
Once the phone comes back up, go to Settings > Storage and see if you can Mount the external SD card.
That worked for me when I got similar messages after swapping cards.
That didn`t work out. I get the same notification.Other ideas ?
I just made hard reset ... still the same problem
btw I noticed something weird in PC/Sync Setting / Default connection type there are two options *Charge only or *Mount SD card??!!! what does this means
What partition is your sdcard after you format it? It still fat32?
Hmm... if it still maybe that is MIUI bug
hm yes it is Fat32 but other strange thing I just saw from the card reader - there is a LOST.DIR folder created with nothing inside ...what does it mean ?

The LOST.DIR directory is normal, it is where corrupted files get dumped. If the Directory is empty that is just fine.
Have you tried inserting a different MicroSD card?
I`m going to try one later today .
====
mmm No that doesn`t work either.
I`m suppose downgrade to original firmware should do the trick === I hope so
JOB DONE pheu downgraded to 2.2.1 froyo the job went smoothly .I assume it is not a hardware fault just the MIUI is having this kind of a bug .
Thanks for you all that tried to help
Hi,
i'm having serious problems with the SD card on my Milestone. Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there (Camera says "Please insert a SD card", other apps say similar warnings).And i can't use "update.zip" on recovery mode
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Recovery mode say "can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the gold contacts on the sd card an the sd card holder...
Also try seeing if the sd card works on an external sd card reader
Hope this helps

If it works fine in a card reader, it might be the card slot in the Milestone that might be broken.

Have you ever been brick sdcard? Also possible that so many people use android brick sdcard failed. I think the milestone card reader works fine: (
I would recommend taking your SD card, backing up the contents to your computer, and then doing a non-quick format on the SD card. There's something corrupt about the filesystem of the SD card that the phone does not like, and a format of the SD card should repair things again.

What format are you putting it in? If it is in NTFS, I believe it will not recognize it.

I was hoping someone has a broken internal memory card (not hoping).. and has been successfully able to run firmware off an SD Card?
If so could you spare time guiding me how you managed to do so, and if you realy could just copy and paste the contents of your SD Card into a folder - so I may be able to test it on my phone to see if it turns on again.
It is currently in the boot loop. =\
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cocktail, I'm a Mac user, but I do have s0me experience with file recovery. Your SD Card will be formatted in the Fat 32 File format. Try this utility on your laptop to scan your SD card. Free App
Or try any other file recovery program that you might have access to.
I hope this helps. Anil

Hi Cocktail, if you reformat your SD card whilst in your phone. This will wipe the directory and any dodgy formatting but not any of your files. Then you can scan the SD card for files on your laptop. Recovery software can be told to search the entire logical structure of a volume, and ignore any formatting to find files. This normally takes a little or a long time, depending on the size of the volume.
I've done this on a 1 Terrabyte RAID 5 volume, that took a very long time (days), yours should be a lot quicker. But still that is what I would do.
DISCLAIMER: I am only suggesting a course of action. If your photos are life or death important, then find a company that will do file recovery for you for a price. Google will help you here.
If you follow my suggestion. Then having half decent Windows file recovery software would be very very helpful.
I hope this helps. Anil
When you put your SD card in your laptop do you not see it when you go to "My Computer"? On the SD card adapter it has a little lock on the side which you can flick up and down to lock it, maybe it's locked? (Happened to me before) Or try putting the SD card in a different phone and see what happens.

Use a Sd adapter and see if your sd card has multiple partitions that could be one of the cause

it has only one partition FAT32. the problem only found in nougat rom like the new cusrom DOTOs. when i change back to MM like lineage 13 it works well
I think your sd card has multiple partitions too. Let's use Minitool partition wizard to delete a partition
