I just got my Sandisk class 10 64gb microsdxc card however, going to settings -> SD card, I don't see any other option but Mount SD card. When I click on it, it says Preparing SD card, then says Blank SD card while showing an SD card icon with an exclamation mark. Please help how to mount and format the card?? I have the korean version galaxy note shv-e160s. Thank you.
----Update----
I finally got it formatted on my computer it now says FAT32, I can copy files to it, drag & drop files to the SD card on my computer, however, when I insert it to the galaxy note it says Damaged SD card with exclamation mark. When I go to settings, I don't see any option except Mount SD card, clicking on it gives the same issue - says Preparing SD card then says Damaged SD card with the exclamation mark. Please HELP!! thank you.
Format the card fat32 via the computer and try..

micro SDXC Card
Just taken delivery of a 64GB card struggled to get it to be 'seen' by 'phone so formatted via adapter in PC card reader windows 7 only gave ntfs or exFAT as option - tried exFAT & 'phone still not picking up SD card, rebooted in to my Linux (kubuntu) & using KParted, formatted to FAT32, it is in the 'phone being loaded, up hooked up through the USB cable (on windows 7) with the backup of every thing from the 32GB card + more music etc all goes well, if I have trouble I will report back.
Oh if you don't have Linux. try using a digital camera to format the card.

Hi all. I've been doing some research on this for some time now, and I haven't been able to find anything of relevance.
I have a 32GB Kingston microSD card that my phone cannot read. I get the following error:
"Bank External SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported file system."
When I try to format it with my Galaxy [2.2 legit froyo], it will still not let me mount it. Now this SD card may be FAT32 or it maybe NTFS - I'm not too sure, but which ever one it is, my phone doesn't like!
I don't know how to access this memory card via my computer, I was wondering if there was a fix for this or if there was a program on the Market that will allow me to format back and forth with NFTS and FAT32 through my phone?
I've tried everything, whatever I do just does no work, so please don't be telling me to make sure I've put it in correctly or take it out and put it back in because they simply do not work.
Thanks in advance...
No? Bump... Please help me, I hate having no space on my phone!
Try using a card reader and see if shows up on the computer. Sd formatter has worked for me before to bring an unresponsive card back. Do a google for sd formatter.

How can I go about actually connecting my microSD to the computer..?
You will need an sd card reader and the adapter for the micro sd.
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 was able to format the card to Fat32. The computer on windows xp can open the card, able to drag & drop files, however, when I insert to galaxy note, phone says damaged SD card. When I go to settings, there's only one option: Mount SD card. When I clicked on it, says Preparing Card, then says Damaged SD card. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

solved finally!
OMG! It was driving me mad. I installed Minitool Partition (freeware) and formatted microSDXC 64gb to Fat32, I could see it on my PC but the galaxy note says Blank. Rebooted phone, still the same. Went back to Minitool Partition and formatted sd card to NTFS. Reinserted to galaxy note, still says blank sd. Went back to Minitool again and reformatted back to Fat32, run checkdisk, reinserted card to galaxy note and voila!! The awesome phone is finally seeing it! Patience is a virtue indeed...lol

good to know that checkdisk work
The most reliable way is to format the memory card on the Note itself.

Wasn't able to do that. No option to format on Pa. I used a tool which could be found in the sandisk topic. For me this was the only way to get it working.

Format on Phone
After waiting 50 days for my card to arrive i found that formating it in my Pc as NTFS woud make, when inserted in my G-Note (chilean N7000 with ICS 4.03 kernel 3.0.15) say it was nonworking filesystem and selecting the error message in the notification area give me the option to format in FAT32, now it works flawlessly and i'm very happy with the card, a 64GB sandisk class 6 i got from ebay at 64$ (us dollars) free shipping.

Did you format the card on/in the phone? Don't format it on you pc
Are you properly ejecting/unmounting/removing the device from your computer? I've had similar issues with my digital camera when I forget to eject he card from my Linux computer. I think the files don't get closed properly. May not have anything to do with your problem...

Hi, I have had the problem with class10 sdhc card. it randomly lost data (or whole sd card unmounted when locked screen). I use class 4 instead. However, lost data appeared (a week ago) too - and it was (perhaps) because I didn't "eject" before unplugging... but usually I don't do it, and everything was ok.

Note 4 (Tmobile) SD Card unrecognized
Just purchased a used Tmobile Samsung Note 4 SM910T (upgrading from a Tmobile Note 3).
First thing I did was reset the phone to factory defaults with 4.4.4 and got it running. Everything seemed to work fine, programmed the finger print scanner (a nice feature), installed some apps. Seems to work like it's supposed to. Now, time to get the SD Card switched over.
Pulling the SD Card, (Sandisk Extreme 32gb (HC I) MicroSD) from the Note 3 and putting it into the Note 4, the SD Card was not recognized. So I put is back into the Note 3 to make sure there wasn't a problem, everything showed up fine, all files and pics where still there.
So I pulled the battery, thinking the card had to be in the slot upon boot up, I inserted the SD card and powered up the phone again. Still nothing, no SD Card detected. Humm...
I had an old 8gb Sandisk card laying around, popped it into my PC to see what was on it, had some files on there so I tried putting that SD Card into my new Note 4, nothing. Not recognized. I put the old card into my Note 3, shows up fine.
When I go into "Storage" and scroll down to the bottom, "Mount SD Card" Insert SD Card" are showing, but not the normal "Total Space" "Available Space" "Unmount SD Card" and "Format SD Card" even though the SD Card is inserted correctly into the SD Card slot of the phone. I again tested that SD card in my old Note 3, still shows up fine.
I have tried reformating the 32 gb SD card on my PC, trying all 3 options NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT. I even formated in the Note 3. None of those work, I get the same result. The Note 4 does NOT recognize an SD Card at all.
Bad Hardware?
Please help. Thank you
