Under Settings, under Storage there is the option.
Be sure to save ur stuff from that external sd card to ur pc first, then format it.

What ROM are you running?

Probably something with the ROM. I always had problems with sd cards on cm7 and both the ics builds. Kept losing the card everytime the phone went to sleep.

Now I'm on stock kk4 rom and its still not showing up...

No offense, I am only trying to cover the bases. But is ur external sd card being recognized under Menu/Settings/SD card and phone storage/SD card ?? And if so, is it mounted ??
Also, is the directory path /sdcard/external_sd ?? (u can look at My Files in the app drawer and see)

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.

Blank external SD card or cannot read file system

Hi, I just recently have run into this issue: getting notification that my external SD card is either blank or the file system cannot be read, and saying i need to reformat. I did, and still getting same error. Up until a few days ago all was fine with my phone and Sd card so very puzzled. Thought i would post on here to see if anyone has had the same problem or knows of a fix, before i reflash the rom or change roms all together.
Running:
SauROM KK4 with corn 7.06
Thanks

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?

Its there when I connect via PC but that's not the prob I have a 32 gb mem card that's not getting used by the phone at all phone men and built in external is full and can't get it to use my SD card

And I don't have a file called emmc either mate
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

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

I have a external file an a SD file but this phone has internal memory and external SD built in to it just that dosnt allow me to use mine to move apps to etc I managed to put some pics n music on it but wanna use it to save space on my phone aswell
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Stock?
Are you running a stock rom?
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.

[Help!] SD Card

Hello XDAians..
So, basically, something is wrong with my SD Card after partitioning using Swapper..
Now, my phone doesn't even read my SD Card. You can't go through files, etc.
I know the problem is not the ROM nor the PHONE.. because my phone reads my brother's SD Card which is the same class, space & type..
I can't format because MiniPartition tool also doesn't recognize my SD Card.. Help?
My SD Card is a Class 2, 8GB, MicroSDHC.
Please help. I really need my SD Card to install new ROMS and MODS..

Have you tried CWM built in

It also doesn't read anything

Try it in a computer. That doesn't work, it's fried. I had that with a 16GB PNY card. My current Samsung works fine no matter what I do

The thing is, I don't have an adapter for the SD Card..

If it isn't working in cwm then you only have to find a adapter and partition again...
I got the same, after I deleted swap it solved

Hmm.. I know I got an adapter somewhere in my house.. Just need to find it..

Mini tool partition is the best...
Use it and delete swap
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2

hmm if you swaps, i recommend u use a class 6 or higher to lower risk

please use class 2 sd class

maybe you can use card reader to check it..is it still FAT format or not
then try to fix it or something else like repair your sdcard
and turn on your phone WITHOUT sdcard
last, turn it on again WITH sdcard

Slow SD card

I had partition my SD card but now I donot need it so I deleted it using minitool. Now my SD card has become more slower around 500kbps copying speed. Is there any way to fix it. As it have now no ext partition it should work good
