    put the sd into your pc, cancel the 'format' message.
    check in My Computer what drive letter the card is

    You can attempt to fix it using the desktop windows' built-in chkdsk utility.
    Open up command prompt (start->run->cmd.exe) and type
    chkdsk /X /F <SD card drive letter>


    eg if the SD card shows up in My Computer as D:\ drive, use the following command:
    chkdsk /X /F D:

    this will allow you to copy the contents of the sd card to a folder on your pc, then format the card, copy the contents back to it & put it back in the phone

    This seems to have done the trick for me so thanks an absolute million.

    A couple of apps are showing as grey still but I'll reinstall them.

    Thanks v much again for help

    no probs - glad you were able to get it sorted.

    same happened to me.

    the 32GB sd I had in my original note (n7000), I now use it in my note3 (n9005)

    since I put the card into the note3 this has happened twice - I fear the card may be on the way out :(

    at least I was able to access the card & copy all my files to the pc
    I only keep photos & music on the card anyway - with 32GB in the phone there's no need to transfer apps to the sd card.
