[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

Are you installing the zip from the external SD card or the internal? It should be run from on your internal SD card

plus if u use an external SD card don't forget to remove it before installation and then proceed

best to keep the files on the internal storage when flashing

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

You want to mount SD card with recovery ? That feature doesnt work with CWM 5.

Unable to mount sd card.

I m unable to mount my sd card in stock recovery, I am running a custom ROM. Please help

Wait, how do you exactly mount your sd card in STOCK recovery as there is no way you can mount anything in stock recovery? Use CWM in mounting.

Same as my previous suggestion... Use custom kernel with recovery in it... Like savie or Hells fusion (recommended)... Don't throw or format sd card. Try this. Later decide if u want to format

Recovering
You need not throw your sd card. Nothing happened big.
The format in sd card is not supported or is not compatible with the phone.
Steps to recover:
1. Insert your SD card
2. Goto Settings > SD Card and Phone Storage > Unmount SD Card
3. After unmounting, format the sd card.
4. If you have created multiple partitions on the phone, use a partition tool in pc to format your sd card.
5. Then remount the sd card again. If the sd card displays Blank in the status bar, you have to format it again.
6. After that connect your sd card to your computer and copy the recovery(CWM) zip files
Then try again to mount sd card.
If you cannot mount in ClockWorkMod, then you have to download the recovery that is compatible with your mobile.

Try again. If you still cannot access, send me a PM. I will help you.
