[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

EDIT: even when i press mount usb storage under CWM i get the following error:
E: Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)

Hi there...
I had this issue earlier this afternoon. What you can do it is format your SD Card via SDFormatter or format it using any digital camera.

hmm.. did you take out you sd card as you phone was in cwm and insert it again ??? if yes shut down you HD2 insert you sd card and start ad recovery and do not take it out if it is in cwm. because if you take it out and insert it again it can not detect it I don´t know why but it is so. if it did not helped than flash you recovery again maybe it helps than.

Hi end1one,
had exactly the same problem now, I tried another SD card, same issue.
Format your card with SD Formatter from SD Association - this helps; then copy your ROM-ZIP and then insert card in the phone and power it up to CWM.
Good luck

Mounting Issue in CWM

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.

Can't Mount SD Card in CWM 5.x!

So i went to flash a ROM and now it says while flashing that the flash was aborted because the system can't mount the SD card. I'm using the newest CWM and have flashed stuff before. Not sure what to do, it wont let me make backups, restore, or flash anything.
I find it kinda strange, because once I reboot my tablet, everything's working fine, but it's not letting me install a custom rom
And yes, I have...
1. Unlocked by booloader.
2. Rooted my phone along with installing superuser.
3. Installed CWM recovery through fastboot (or whatever it's called, lol)
Has anyone gone through the same thing?

Bump....
Cm on guys I really need to get this rolling ...

What class SD Card are you using? I have issues with CWM on this Tablet reading anything above a class 6. I have a Class 10 SD Card that I have to swap Out and put in a different slower class card to flash roms and what not so I personally have had to deal with this because of the speed. Anyway hope that helps you out.

I'll try another sd card and see if it work out. Thanks for the advice!!

Bump. Using a different SD card didn't work, unfortunately

Back up all ur SD card files to PC
In CWM, you will find a Advance/ partition Sd card
Use this and make a 128 mb one, Reboot to CWM and CWM will recognize your card.

thank you very much....really helpful

Please help me i have a similar problem. I tried to partition it and it worked but it wouldnt recognize my sd card. Idk what happened maybe i formatted by mistake and now i dont have a system (or atleast it wouldnt boot up) and i have a cwm that doesnt mount recovery so i cant flash.
please someone help me! i need my phone

FIXED!
Nevermind. I did it wrong. U were supposed to partition sd card make it 128-128 and then while still in advanced setting restart launcher. Then you have to go to mount the card manually through mounts and storage.
if you just shut down the device it wouldnt work.
thank you for helping me fix this demonntl
