I was referring to the message window. Because you tried to flash an ICS ROM, it likely messed up your internal SD card. You'll need to go into bootloader and do a factory reset from there. It'll wipe your internal SD and should fix the mounting issue. Then boot back into recovery and report if you still get the sdcard mount error.

Ok so CM started working but I do not have any of the GApps. How to I install those?

You install those the same way you installed the ROM - through recovery.

Ok I think I have everything but it doesnt show SuperSU anymore in the apps folder. Do I need that? Also is there a rom you recommend better than CM 10?

CM has Superuser built in; you don't need SuperSU.

"Better" can't be determined by me. Everyone wants something different from their ROM. What's best for you will be different than what's best for me. There are a lot of good ROMs out there, but all different.

That means you're using the wrong GApps. Make sure you're using the ones for your version of CM. See here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps

I downloaded the correct gapps and everything seems to be fine. Thank You so much for your help. I had a migraine cause I couldnt get it to work.

Cap to the rescue.
You should give Cap's Sense 5 Rom a spin.
