first backup any data you have on your sd card

remove all partitions with minitool and create a new partition of fat32 and format it with minitool

next boot up your phone with the sd card in
goto
settings
storage
unmount sd card
erase/format sd card

now go into cwm - you sd card will now be mountable

for the 2nd partition create it in cwm
cant remember exactly where the option is from memory but its under something like partitions
just create a 2nd partition of 1024mb with 0 swap

you can then copy any backups back to sd card

if you are unable to read your sd card via a card reader on a pc (not via phone usb cable) in order to delete partitions and recreate them, its best you get a new sd card

My computer also once was not able to read my sd card but minitool partition wizard detected it.... What i did then was that i deleted all the partitions and created a new one with
Label--Android-SD
Type - Primary
File type -- Fat32

After i did this .. My phone and computer both read the sd card...

Hope this helps for u too..

Press thanx if it helps you

I think that's not the problem, i use a MP3 player with USB :D

If you plug your sdcard on linux-based using anything it should be /dev/sdc

Do a dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/[your user]/Desktop/sdcard.img

After that install WinImage http://www.winimage.com/

Open the img with winimage it will tell you where to connect,

choose first primary fat32 partition open menu -> extract all with subdirectories, :good:

Best way to recover files but for the sdcard i think it will be better to buy a new one :(
