I was was running JellyBam and had it all tricked out but the email was acting wanky and the battery insisted it was always being charged. Neither of these were issues when it was a fresh install. I did a backup to my external sdcard and proceeded to format the sdcard since I had two ROMs installed on it and JellyBam doesn't seem to play nice with Siyah.
Much to my surprise it formatted both sdcards. I have been able to install a copy of Siyah kernel onto the internal sdcard. But all of the zip files I was counting on using are gone. How can I get a ROM installed so I can begin recovery? Thanks

Just put the SD card in your computer and copy over that way, then boot into recovery and install like normal. Should have no problems.

ALWAYS a good idea to physically remove your external SD card and then format your internal SD card. Then turn off and put the external card back in.
In this case if you absolutely had vital data on your external card and haven't copied or reformatted it since the mess happened, I suggest removing the external sd, put it in an SD adaptor in your computer and download a data recovery program. It will scan it although your computer might say it is raw/do you wanna format or something like that, and find shreds of files left on it.

Good luck
