Error when trying to format SD - myTouch 3G, Magic General

When I try to format my SD from my Windows 7 Computer. it gives me an error anyone got this before?

no.
Did you mount your phone or plug it in using a sd adapter?
to format your sd card on a phone just boot into recovery and choose to partition your sd card and choose your settings.
If you are not rooted go to settings and there should be an option to format underneath the data section.

SD card Upgrade problems

My apologies is this has been posted before. I am trying to upgrade the sd card in my phone (MT3G), using theunlockr.com instructions found here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/ho...-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/
So here is my problem. I put the new card in the phone and follow the instructions. But when it’s time for me to connect the new card to my PC, my PC will not read the card unless I format the card first (FAT32 is the only format option it gives me). I get this same error when plugging the card into the PC or using the mass storage option from the phone’s recovery screen. So I chose to format the card so the PC would see it and I could load the ROM back on to it. Now the phone does not want to mount the sd card.
So I start over again. I plug the new sd card into the phone and wipe, partition with no problems. But when it’s time to convert ext2 to ext3 I get this error : “run update_fs via consel”. What does this mean and how do I accomplish this?
How do I get the sd card to be readable from both the phone and the PC?
Thank You

[Q] CWM Error mounting /sdcard!

I used the NVflash root method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714, but when I tried to update CWM from v3.0.2.8 to v3.1.0.1 it can't mount the sdcard. Every solution I've seen says that you need to format the sdcard but I can't format it using Windows because it views it as a media device and I can't format it from CWM because it needs to mount it to format it. Any ideas on how I can get it working? Or should I try flashing roms by another method?
Pic shows all the different things I've tried and the messages that it produced.
take a micro sd card and put it in
go into recovery and go down to advanced
repartition the micro sd card
reboot
put what evere you want to flash in the micro sd card and flash
take your sdcard out and use SD Formatter 3.0 to format it. Now try re-flash the new CWM.

I repartitioned it but now I can't add anything to it. The TF can't find the card and my computer can't read it.
I formatted it, it worked. Now to get it to stop aborting the roms I'm trying to install. Thanks guys

[Q] Sd card partition and swap

How do i delete my sd card partition and the swap partition?
Go to recovery then in recovery go to mounts and storage then go to format sd ext also another is to unmount the sd card and then format but all your sd card data will go so I highly suggest you back it up.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Easiest for me is partitioning on a computer with cardreader. Here you can see what you are doing. But you need Linux. This can be a live-CD for example Knoppix.

Thats one way, 2nd method is use minitool partition in your laptop or computer, 3rd method if you want to format entire SD card to its original state is, go to settings, SD Card settings > unmount SD Card > format SD Card.

An odin connection does not require an sd card - if odin is not connected you either dont have the usb drivers installed or you have a faulty usb cable/port

flash stock rom via odin - it doesnt require an sd card
if your odin doesnt show a connection under com id then you havent installed the usb drivers
you can format your sd on a pc via a card reader with mini tool as already explained
