Just chiming in. I'm using Windows 10.
For my 128GB card, I HAD to use the above Panasonic tool.
Then, reformatted again with the 64bit version of Ridgecrop's FAT32 Formatter.
Doing that fixed the mount fail issue.
I just spent all day yesterday and all night copying to a new 128GB SD. I keep getting SD Mount Failed and found this through google. Well this bites the big one. Guess I won't be playing for another 24 hours. 
Thanks guys, I tried a 32gb and a 128gb (previously linux dual partitions), deleted partitions, created new ones and formatted with guiformat and others using FAT32 and 64/32 clusters and they just would not work!
Tried the panasonic tool then guiformat (both quick format) in a vague hope and they both worked fine. What magic is the panasonic tool doing???

Has anyone with OSX attempted this?
I've tried:
1. Using Panasonic SD formatter first
2. Running command:
After doing step 2, it shows an error stating that The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
Edit: never mind, could not get it working with OSX for some reason. Found an old SD card adapter and used Panasonic SD formatter first, then fat32formatter.exe -c128 E:.

To use SD Cards or Micro SD Cards with adapters with Loadiine, I recommend only using Ease US Partition Master for formatting, other programs are fine if they can format larger cards to Fat32
Smaller cards 32gb or less should work well as they are usually Fat32 format
If you are still having "SD Mount Failed", you might have problems with your SD Card or adapter, I have not experienced any problems in which cluster size was the issue. Larger cards are more likely to give you problems, but if you followed my steps, you should be fine
To ensure you get the best results, I would also recommend using AT MOST 32gb SD Cards, you run less risks of problems with formatting, errors, etc, and there isn't a game that needs more than 32gb space to install backups anyways.

- it is always a safe bet to format it anyway to Fat32 anyways just in case there are errors for some odd reason
- Format the card to Fat32
- Change the drive type from "Logical" to "Primary"
- Pop out your SD Card from your Wii U
- Pop it into your computer
- Make sure the card is Fat32, if larger than 32gb make sure the drive type is "primary" not "logical"
- Make sure you have everything on your SD card root in the proper folders i.e. E:\wiiu\apps\homebrew_launcher
- Check it for Errors with your Native Windows tools or Mac tools
- Pop your SD Card back into your Wii U
- Succeed

This is an old thread, but I'm just here to say @Cyan 's advice worked for me. Bitlocker and Wii U SD Cards do not mix--reformatting with EaseUS or Guiformat alone did nothing, kept getting -4 on CBHC and 'Please insert Fat32 SD Card' on the web sploits. Using Panasonics SD Formatter + just a quick guiformat made it readable again.
