i am hoping maybe somebody can help me i searched the Q&A and i can't find an answer i am using a 4gb class 6 sd card i partion the sd card and the Cryogen rom shows the partition unavaliable i thought it was maybe the sdcard so i bought another one and still same issue. the problem started when i was loading the JACXrom from the Cryogen 3.6.8. I noticed as soon as i loaded the rom my apps were missing. so i used paragon to re format the sd card and it still doesnt read the partion. then i reformated the whole card... and still no luck...anybody have any thoughts?
hey everyone, i was wondering what the best way to partition an SD card is? ive seen alot of talk, many people said you can do it right from the phone, is this true?
this video explains how to do it for a G1, but we dont have the options.

In "settings"-->"SD card and phone storage" you can first unmount and then format either the internal or the external SD card.
As mimocan said in his own thread, try gparted.
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.
Hi guys,
I tried partitioning my external sd card to linux swap, and something must have gone wrong. Now,a notification on my Galaxy S reads "Damaged SD card - SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." This was the first thing I tried, but the Internal SD is formatted instead when I try. (Rom bug?). When i mount my phone via USB, only the formatted (damnit) internal SD is found.
I'm currently on TiramiSlim (best rom!!) with Devil 0.94. If you have any help it would be appreciated, any further questions don't hesitate!

In first i think that partition ext sd card is useless but it's my opinion.
In fact if you want to recover your ext sd i advise you to reformat your sd card with the windows disk utility: you select all volumes, delete them and recreate a new one with ntfs format (android will do his work when you'll insert your sd in the device).
If it doesn't work try to make the same but with a Linux system (Linux is powerful ^^).
Please reply me your results.
Have you tried to format the SD card with an SD Adapter & then make sure that USB debug is enabled on the device.
I had this issue.
Sometimes it shows that the card is damaged & then it reads it later on!
I plugged the Card into my Digi-Cam Formatted it.
Changed the Rom.
Now it works.
Anyways safely remove the drive when plugged into a computer!
i don't have an sd-card adapter unfortunately, the only way i can plug it in is via my phone. I cannot seem to find a disk utility on windows that will read the external sd, i can only find the internal from my computer.
i will try and get hold of an sd-adapter and let you know if it works
fixed the problem!

how did you fix the problem?
My phone recognizes the internal storage but i keep getting "sd card is damaged, try reformatting it" in the notification bar.
when I click on format, it says "unmounting sd card" but nothing happens.
Thanks,
Luke
*edit.. nvm.
I put my SD card in my old x10 and in settings/storage I erased my SD card.
Works fine now
I have a chance to buy a used Samsung Galaxy Tab at a great price, but there is a problem with the internal memory. It has been rooted and right now it is operating on CM10 Nightlies from the SD card. The internal memory partition is recognized but can't be accessed. Is there any chance the internal memory can be recovered?
since the previous owner went a great length to get it working with only external sd, I think likely the internal memory is beyond help. You can ask him how far did he go trying to fix it.

Thanks for the reply. The previous owner said he never tried any fixes.
I might have mistaken your initial info as saying you have the whole ROM installed on external sd card.
If it is just the internal sd card not showing, you could try to format the internal sd card from cwm and see what happens.

Sorry, I was unclear. The whole ROM IS installed on the external SD card. There's no problem running the ROM from the SD card and no problem with the SD card itself. It's the Galaxy Tab internal memory that is bad. The internal memory is recognized but cannot be accessed. I guess I'm wondering if the internal memory can be reformatted and fixed.
I bought it for next to nothing, so even if I can only use the ROM from the SD card, its not a big deal.
