I can't get my SD Card mounted in CWM. When the phone is on it is fine but when I try to flash from CWM is says the SD Card is not mounted. Any one have any suggestions?
What ROM are you on?
I tried for the longest time to use CM7 and CWM refused to mount my SD card. I asked about it on here and have seen several other threads but with no resolution or fix.

Hey everyone,
The problem I'm having is pretty self explanatory, when I boot into recovery (latest RA or clockwork) I'm unable to mount my SD card. When I boot into my rom (cm 6 rc1) I have no trouble mounting or accessing the SD. Both recoveries can mount a 1gb card I have laying around but not my current card. I have tried reformatting the card multiple times to no avail. Has anyone had this issue or have any insight into it?
Thanks
Bryan
Not sure on your problem. Since you reformatted all fat32, I assume, memory is not the issue. You can get Auto Mount from Market for a temporary fix. It can be disabled thru settings if you want to keep it but not use if you solve your problem.

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?

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
Flashed my a500 several times. Decided to go back to taboonay. In recovery I decided to clean everything. I formatted everything that had an option to format including SD. I thought that was the internal however I was wrong and lost all my backups and roms. No problem I thought, went to my desktop put the new rom on sd card the reinstalled in my device.
OK the problem: It will not flash the rom because recovery can nolonger mount my sd card. I've tried other sd cards formated fat.
Any ideas?

and did those other cards work?
sorry
No, other sd cards did not work. So what I have is a tab that when turned on goes strait to acer logo and loads nothing. I can however open to recovery however it will not mount the sd card. Also, it is not recognized when plugged in to my dell.
Solved
Ok, after reading this thead

I found that yes formating the sd card in either windows or linux will not work. Using my android phone to format the card works. It is now mountable. However I still could not flash directly to taboonay as I wished, but following this thread

got me up and going again.
Put the rom on a thumbdrive. Plug the thumb drive in. Turn it on to boot to recovery. It should let you install from zip without having to mount. Works for me.
For some strange reason My external Sd card does not show up in the cwm Recovery. The Sd card is fine, it worked on my S2 Fine but for some reason its not working on the cwm Recovery. Currently running Stock Tmobile 4.0.4. Cwm 5.8.4.7. I am able to see my phones internal sd files, just the external sd appears to be missing. i have also tried mounting the external sd but have been unsuccessful. any help?

Anything newer than 5.8.4.5 isn't seeing the sd card on the AT&T version. I doubt yours is any different. You can download what you need here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
When trying to install Tezet's CM10, I came across a problem with my CWM install, and was wondering if anyone was able to help me with recovering from it. When I go to choose SIP from SD card, it says unable to mount SD card, and in the logs it is unable to find find the SD card (cant remember the exact device, but was /deb/block/mmc...), but in android the SD card is on /dev/block/vold/179:1. I believe the problem would have originated when I tried the CM9 rom (went from CM7 to CM9, decided it wasn't for me at that stage due to being a bit to unstable still, so went back to CM7 and haven't flashed any roms since.
How can I go about installing an older version of CWM that is compatible with CM7, to be able to mount the SD card again, so that I can try the new mod. Everything I have read installs CWM from SD card, which is not an option for me, for obvious reasons.
Thanks in advance.
