Can't Mount SD Card in ClockWorkMod Recovery

[ggrant3876]

So ive been at this for 2 days. I finally got the micro sd card with both files to install rom but in clockworkmod recovery i cant mount sd card nor format or anything. I can mount and unmount in the normal settings of the device and see it in root explorer but thats it. Its formatted to fat32. also on rom manager where it says to install from sdcard it only takes u to the internal sdcard which makes no sense because i was told u cant install a rom from the internal sdcard.
PS. This is my first Android Device!!!!

Welcome to the forum. Glad you decided to join us. There are only 3 recovery compatible with the Xoom. If it doesn't see your sdcard you'll need to fastboot one of them.
ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 (R4c) (New 6/10/11)
CWM Rogue Recovery v1.5.0 (Updated 5/6/12)
Goo.im Downloads - Downloading eos-recovery-r6-softkeys.zip
The Rogue Recovery can flash from internal as well as external.

Once you get your recovery don't use Rom Manager to update it.

Ok so is that app basically useless to my xoom if i have a different recovery? is it only useful to enter recovery?

Also once i install the rogue recovery will i be able to install rom by CWM and micro sd card or will it have to be via fastboot?

The only thing Rom Manager is good for is booting to recovery and Quick Boot does it much better.
Setting up ADB on Windows 7 64 bit (and other Windows platforms)
You can use Easy ADB to fastboot your recovery. Just extract the recovery.img from the zip, make sure you havs usb bebugging checked on the Xoom and your commands will be.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Once you get a good recovery you flash the rom and the gapps from your recovery.
