Root [Boost Mobile] Computer won't reconize phone in CWM mode

Hello guys,
All I wanted to do was do the manual update since I was unable to do it on my Warp because it is rooted. I tried to put it in FTM mode and it did not get there but to the CWM recovery mode! I was so frustrated that I wiped the partition from some other step I found online and did not work. I took my SD card out to put the stock recovery file to the root of the card on my pc then to my card then put the card back into my phone. Now my phone is not mounting my card!
Here's what I get:
Error mounting /sdcard!

Then when I wanted to get to the recovery file I get:
E:Can' mount /sdcard!

I had to format the card and try again, still the same thing! It cannot be the card! It's got to be the phone itself because the card works well on my windows 7 64-bit laptop! Please help asap! I miss having my phone on :( .

Format the card with the phone, Boot into recovery, choose advanced, partition sdcard

Agreed. The file systems used by Windows and Linux (Android) are very different. Android is very aware and therefore can read Linux, Windows and DOS file systems. Windows however (which apparently thinks it's the only operating system on the planet - after all, who could possibly ever need to read another format?) will not read Linux / Android partitions. When in CWM, however, only Linux formats are recognized, IIRC.
