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:

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...

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 .

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 ?

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

After i flashed my GT-I9000(without external sdcard), it reboot into recovery, and display "can't mount /sdcard" in red. And if i insert an external sdcard, and reboot, it can boot normally, but when i checked in menu -> setting -> sd card and phone storage, the "sd card" and "usb storage" are unavailable, only "system storage" is 1.83G. i tried several sd cards, no matter 2G, 4G, the same result. And if i plug the sd card to pc, 2GB of the card is disappeared. So, i think maybe there are some errors for my internal sdcard, and the system used 2G from external sd card. Can anyone help me to save my internal sd card back? Thanks.

My phone keeps saying that the sd card is safe to remove and i have no access to any files or anything. When formatting in CWM it says no sd card detected and when i try to mount USB storage it just loads endlessly. Help please?
Actually I fixed it. Anyone with same problem, format your SD from the phone's storage settings (not CWM).
