Galaxy s killed at least one if my Micro SDs

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

Nobody can help me?

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

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.

Yes you can, I did that
But if you don't transfer some things over, you may very force closes in some apps that need days from the sd card

No problems if you are transferring everything over
If you leave out some things you think are useless, like I did, you may have problems. I just transferred what I thought was needed and I had no problems
I do Fat32

I use Airdroid

Most SDcards are already formatted to FAT 32. I use Airdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
Simply copy ALL from your SDcard to computer, put new card in phone then copy back from PC to phone

Cannot format nor mount SD Card

Suddenly my SD card stopped being recognized.
Cannot mount it, cannot format it under CWM recovery
I put in my laptop running Win 7 and I can see everything is on it. Still cannot format it even on Win 7. It says it is write protected.
Any ideas ?

Download Panasonic SD Formatter,
format with that.

Tried with Panansonic card formatter, but same message: Write protected !!
L.E.: Tried with another SD card .... everything is ok
The previous one is always reported as Write-protected no matter what I'm doing (valid while in Win7, 'cause the phone does not see it at all).
Anyway at least I still have my data on it and can read it on my laptop and transfer it on the other card.
If anyone has any idea on how to unblock the SD card will have a big THX from me

are you talking about an SD card or a MircoSD card?
*Some* SD cards come with a "lock" toggle on the card.
If you are using a standard SD card is the toggle in the lock position?

as stated in my first post, it stopped working suddenly, in the middle of the day.
It said "No SD card mounted" ... couldn't format it, nor re-mount it on the phone
I put it in my laptop running Win 7 and I could see all the data inside, can copy it, but cannot delete anything because it says it is write-protected.
Resolution ? changed the card with a new one .....then I just copied part of the data from the old one to new card.

Alright, that's weird, I hope no one else has this problem
I would hate this to happen to me, I bought a faster sdcard

You could try formatting it using diskpart in windows 7 or gparted in Linux

since I already bought a new card, which is working, and the old one still can access it's data, I see no reason to try and format it now.
At least knowing that it is blocked as write protected I'm sure that nothing can delete the data stored on it :laugh:

Partition your SD card with CWM. Then it will work. It is not compatible with tools like Minitool Partition Wizard.

Yes it is minitool its compatible. I tried and work.
Btw, you cant format sd card while in usb mass storage. Try format using sd card reader if dont work, maybe u can have now a dead SD
