cannot flash CWM from rom manager

Same issue here... I even tried a factory reset and it still won't flash CWM! Anyone out there have a good idea?
FWIW, on the Play Store reviews for CWM, it seems like we're not the only ones suddenly having issues flashing CWM recovery...

Just a simple question...I'm guessing it's a dumb question and all...but I have to ask...you are rooted right?
Second question...you aren't trying to install cwm touch right? you are choosing the very top option correct?

Yep, I'm rooted and I'm trying to select the top option.
I guess Koush's server is down or something.

Add me to the list of ROM Manager not flashing. 
Couldn't have happened at a worse possible time, now that CM9 daily is out!!

I am having the issue where CWM cannot see my sdcard. I am seeing hints of this on this and other boards, but no clear solution.
I have formatted my card multiple times, either thru phone, in CWM (which seems to do nothing) or in windows.
This is some kinda sick joke... CM9 is out and I cannot flash it.

when you choose install from zip, there are two options: "choose zip from SD card" and "choose zip from internal SD card"
Try both and see if you see your files.
Thanks for response!
Ok I do not see the "install from internal sd " option, am I missing something.
I have ROM Manager, CWM 5.8.2.0. In Rom manager I have install from SD Card, but when I use that I get "Sd Card Marker not found" error when it reboots into CWM.
In CWM it I choose "Install zip from SD Card", I pick "chosse zip from" and it immedicately says "no files found" doesnt even show directory structure.
Should I get paid version of Rom Manager... is that what I am missing?

Try formatting your SD card in your laptop with the adapter and do it as Fat 32. I think people have had similar issues.
I did get it working. I had a 16GB card in my HD2, I pulled that and it worked without a hitch.
I did do a full format with card reader on my old card. They are both 16GB Class 2 so I will probably keep this one.
Thanks for replies... and CM9 is pretty schweet! I havent hit any significant hiccups.

Glad you got up and running. Seems these stock Sd cards are flaky.

If anyone else is having this problem, try using the official SD formatter tool here instead of Windows to format the card: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
I think there is some small quirk in the way the SD cards are originally formatted that is making them unreadable by the touch CWM. And using Windows to reformat them doesn't seem to fix it. This formatter tool has revived an SD card I messed up before that nothing else could fix, so if anything can fix the problem, this thing can. Worth a shot before switching the SD card out.

16GB card
Guys
very new to this, first rooting, I struggled with my 16GB SD card (SD card marker not found, file not found, etc). Then I tried with another 1GB SD card and it worked perfectly.
Just another idea.
Thanks for all good posts and ideas from this forum!
