Try a different sd card

+1. If the problem still persists, try to reflash the rom that you're using.
Also make sure you have checked/unchecked the USE INTERNAL STORAGE in case what you are seeing as external is actually internal sdcard and vice versa. But what you have doesnt seem like a cm7 issue I have seen before so unless you had it connected to a pc and pulled the cable out while something was being done to the external sdcard (removable) that corrupted the card. Jn that case pull out the card, reinsert it and see if it starts to work. Also then at that point check to make sure you can see the files on the INTERNAL SDCARD at the correct location mnt/sdcard. Then if the external card still is not working try to reformat it to see if you can save it.
I have had the external sdcard turn off after a small fall where I had to actually power off the phone, pull the card out and put it back in, then reboot the phone and it was fine. Hope you get it figured out.

How about other sd cards? Have you tried to put it on your phone?
Sent from my Captivate
The external SD card folder is in a different location on ICS. It's in the root area under EMMC. (It used to be under something like sdcard/external-sd).
I thought mine wasn't working either. Not only that, but my media database got corrupted so that external sd songs wouldn't play because my Captivate was searching for them in the old location.

Oops i thought you said CM9. Perhaps CM7 works similarly though. Check it our.

Hey all my Q. Is I am switching my 4g SD card to a 32g SD card and I was wondering if I just copy and past and everything stays the same or do I have to do something else when I switch my SD card...
Thanks. In advance

You can just copy and paste everything from the old to the new and it should work fine. The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is if you are using an EXT partition for apps2sd. You probably won't be able to copy that data over.

One month ago i bought on ebay a 32 gb Mirco Sd, i put it in my phone which told me to format it: i did it and than it stopped to be shown in both phone or computer.
Ok, i thought i had bought a fake and i started again to use my old 16 gb Micro SD i've had for one year.
This morning i switched on my phone phone and it told me that it had a problem with the Micro SD and i needed to format it; i did it and since than it happend the same happend with the one i thought was a fake (now i'm not so sure).
It stopped to work anywhere!
Do anybody have any ideas to solve this?
clean the contacts on the card and the phone. Make sure your computer's reader can handle that size of sdcard. the computer usually can, but the reader may have a problem. Verify that it is formatted as FAT.
I cleaned the contacts and now my phone sees the micro sd: it only says "empty sd stick or unsupported filesystem", but in the memory settings i can't mount it and if i try to format it nothing happens.
The pc still doesn't see the sd, i've even tried with 2 different readers

Do u remove sd crd often, if u do then pls go to settings-sdcarf and storage and unmount your sd card or it will get corrupted. Its an amdroid problem. The rest part where it doesnt work anymore is wierd.

I remove it sometimes, but not that often, however i can't do that, because so far it still can't be mounted nor formatted and also it can be seen by the computer

I used to have this issue with my old sdcard. If you can get the computer to read it first try this :https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/. If that doesnt work try some software called partition magic and use it to format the card. This might not work for you but i was having the same issue as you and it did for me.

No probs, and the only way i could get the computer to read the sd card was using a card reader, multiple reboots, removing and re-inserting the sd card until it decided it wanted to be read....as you might imagine it took a while, good luck

Update
I kept having this problem on kb2 and jf6. I swapped the card for one that had about 3gb of stuff on it and no more problems. Either my first card is bad, or it needs to have some stuff on it.

Are you trying to copy from PC to ext sd?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It should show up as a seperate drive with the phone if you're mounting it as a USB drive. It would show up as something called Removable Disk (with a drive letter) if you haven't renamed the card before.
You are aware that on your phone the Ext sd is called emmc on cm base roms?

Go to your file manager and look for 2 folders
emmc
sdcard
one will be external sd & other internal sd
If you are on stock ROM then looks for SDcard>external_sd

What were some of the things you were doing before this problem started?
The more info the better
No I got ics rom on it and it hasn't worked since I rooted the phone mate I think its got somfin to do with the phone having its own internal and external SD cards I don't know if I can removed external SD card myself but I doubt its just like a normal SD card
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
If you're running cm9, ur external sd card is at mnt/emmc. If you were to put to mnt/sdcard/externalsd/, you are simply placing ur files to internal sd.

Okay, most likely somehow your format got interrupted so I suggest to try formatting it again. If that doesn't work Mount it to a PC right click the SD cards partition and click properties then scan disk and post error results if there are any.
EDIT: sorry, didn't notice your upper post.
Not formatting through a pc might've been the problem all along, keep us posted.
