Have you done anything in particular? installed a ROM, formatted it any how other than just FAT32?

If you have a swap partition then the custom ROMs will not read it correctly.

Do you mean when you are trying to access the SD card from a computer when the phone is plugged in? If so, it might be that you are not enabling mass storage on the phone. When you plug it in you will get a notification on the status bar on the phone asking whether you want to enable it, once you do that you should be able to access the SD card etc.

If that's not what the problem is then you might have to explain a bit more.

You formated your whole sdcard with ext2? That was wrong. You need two partitions, the first stays fat32 and a second ext2.

What means "Wit" and "tin"? My english is not the best.

"tin" T9 error for "rom" I would think

"wit" = typo for "what"

Yes I meant rom and what

So what should I do to fix it?

If your back on stock rom now, you probably need to re-format the sd card back to fat32 if you have'nt done that already...

Do you have latest Recovery menu (1.5.2) installed? If so boot into recovery, choose partition sdcard and select partition, when it asks you for size of swap choose 0, then again choose 0 for ext 2, then it should ask if remainder FAT 32 then press green button. That should work but haven't done it my self lol
