I can't access the recovery anymore, can't connect it for disk drive. ROM MGR can't open the card either. I have Clockwork Recovery & I don't know what to do to get the card back to normal. Suggestions please? How will I access my Root if it's stored on this card? Don't know what to do......

Thanks in Advance...

Sometimes a file on my sd card will become corrupt, causing it to mount read only. I'm wondering if you meant to say your card was read only? If so, try plugging your card into a computer and copying the contents to the PC. If an error pops up about a file, delete that file from the card and you should be good to go. If no error happens, make a backup of the card, then reformat the card on your PC, pop it into your phone and format it again under settings->sdcard. Then just copy the contents from your PC back onto it.

Since this my first post I can't provide a link. This is a copy and paste from a different forum. Worked for me and I didn't have to reformat:

"I approached it without reformatting. I took the SD card out and loaded it into a card reader and looked at the file system on the card. One of my subdirs in my Music directory was corrupted and I wasn't able to delete the folder.

So I right clicked on the removable drive and went to properties.

From there I clicked on the TOOLS tab and then on the CHECK NOW button for error checking.

I ran this a few times until I was finally able to kill the remaining files in that subdir.

I then reloaded the card and everything seems ok, except I need to reload my music."
