I thought you'd said you could boot normally. My bad. Have you tried putting in another microSD card just to see if it would work that way?

Does booting normally mean i can also access my recovery? Hahaha well in that case no, i can only boot my phone. But unable to access the recovery.

If you can get to the home screen then you can "boot normally" if you can boot normally you should try to restore your recovery via ROM Manager (which is what screwed up your recovery image in the first place). If it works, remember, it's flash alternate, flash clockwork, flash alternate, flash clockwork, flash alternate, flash clockwork.

when i click flash alternate, it says the sd card needs to be mounted to use ROM manager!

Your SD card isn't busted.. it has apps on it and they need to go bye bye. Not just on the root of the card but anywhere on the card... if there is a .apk file, it needs to be removed.

Worst case scenario, go buy a media card reader. They run no more than 10 bucks or so. Might come in handly more than once if you run BB... and if other ROMs go this route.
This is a "thinking out loud" question... since the bootloader can see the phone, can you mount the SD card this way? Thru the bootloader? I honestly just don't remember since it's been quite some time since I have needed to call upon the bootloader.
