Just flashed to JM2 today (had issues with JP2), I have the mimocan fix applied using ext4 at about 1 gig, the rest of the 8gb micro sd is fat 32, when the card is in the phone, all the data on the card shows up no problem but when I connect the phone to my PC via usb and mount to tranfer files the external sd doesn't show up. The internal does but not external, tried clicking the actual removable disk on my computer and it says to insert a card, any help is appreciated with this, cheers lads.
Edit: Solved, paragon wasn't formatting fat32 partition properly, formatted using windows and all is well.
yeah I have same problem since jp2 and not fixed in jp3, some have it working but its 50/50, tried all the normal ways but it says write protection/no permission, no fix for it that I hear of so have to wait on jp4 I guess.
I've had this problem with prev updates and I find that if you reformat the TF card inside SD settings (on phone) it works again. Don't forget to unmount the card first
But yes, I think its a problem with Paragon

I bought a new sdcard, tried with many sdcards they unmount themselves after somtime or if i try to format them
I am not sure about the time thing but the card would need to be unmounted in order to be formatted.
Try reflashing? When I got my new card, I went through a confusing little loop of flashing and trying different partitioning structures.. At some point I must have broke something, because mine kept unmounting by itself. After a wipe and flash of a new firmware, though, it started working fine and hasn't given me any issues since.
SD Card Unmounting
I had similar problems and it turned out filesystem was corrupt.
I had to remove the card from the G1 and format it using the pc and an SD card adapter ( (I used an adapter as I have no card slot on my pc).
All works well now.
Okay, not technically a Nook question. But in order to use the extras gigs of space on my sd card while using nookie froyo for sd I need to repartition the sd card. The problem is that Easeus isn't seeing the card. It's there under disk management, explorer, just not Easeus.
Anyone else encounter this problem?
Yep, had same issue. For some reason, when I took out the microsd card and plugged into my laptop via the card adaptor, I had same issue.
Was only able to get Easeus to recognize the card when inside the nook and plugged in via usb. I then partitioned normally. Also check debugging is off (i think off). This is how I got to finally work for me.
Maybe a stupid question but did you launch easeus with the card in or insert the card with easeus already up? Think it has to be in the slot before you load easeus.
I already had the card in the computer. Checked to make sure that I could see it as a drive with all the partitions first. Then fired up Easeus. only shows my C: drive...

Sometimes your card reader can cause problem. Try a different micro sd adapter or usb reader

Had the same
Hi I also has same problem was using server edition uninstalled and installed free version can now see sd card ???

I have the same problem. Windows management sees 4 partitions on the card. 1 of them is not formatted.
Explorer only sees files on the root.
This is after I installed CM7. So what partitions can we use for storage?
Are you running the most recent version of Easeus (8.0.1)? I had a problem with a nook SD card that updating solved.
You haven't said If it's in a laptop card dreaded yet. Easus only recognizes USB drives and internal drives. Google Mini tool partition wizard. That one will work for it (assuming you have the laptop card reader). You should be able to expand to empty space on fat32 Partitions in disk manager on windows though, but the mini tool partition wizard is much better than easeus
HI!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
Hi guys,
I tried partitioning my external sd card to linux swap, and something must have gone wrong. Now,a notification on my Galaxy S reads "Damaged SD card - SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." This was the first thing I tried, but the Internal SD is formatted instead when I try. (Rom bug?). When i mount my phone via USB, only the formatted (damnit) internal SD is found.
I'm currently on TiramiSlim (best rom!!) with Devil 0.94. If you have any help it would be appreciated, any further questions don't hesitate!

In first i think that partition ext sd card is useless but it's my opinion.
In fact if you want to recover your ext sd i advise you to reformat your sd card with the windows disk utility: you select all volumes, delete them and recreate a new one with ntfs format (android will do his work when you'll insert your sd in the device).
If it doesn't work try to make the same but with a Linux system (Linux is powerful ^^).
Please reply me your results.
Have you tried to format the SD card with an SD Adapter & then make sure that USB debug is enabled on the device.
I had this issue.
Sometimes it shows that the card is damaged & then it reads it later on!
I plugged the Card into my Digi-Cam Formatted it.
Changed the Rom.
Now it works.
Anyways safely remove the drive when plugged into a computer!
i don't have an sd-card adapter unfortunately, the only way i can plug it in is via my phone. I cannot seem to find a disk utility on windows that will read the external sd, i can only find the internal from my computer.
i will try and get hold of an sd-adapter and let you know if it works
fixed the problem!

how did you fix the problem?
My phone recognizes the internal storage but i keep getting "sd card is damaged, try reformatting it" in the notification bar.
when I click on format, it says "unmounting sd card" but nothing happens.
Thanks,
Luke
*edit.. nvm.
I put my SD card in my old x10 and in settings/storage I erased my SD card.
Works fine now
Samsung i897- given to me used, Original owner said never used the sd card slot as it never came with one.
I hit flash to stock from the phone menu, it is at O/S version 2.2.
I am trying a sandisk micro sdhc 8 gb.
I put the card in the phone, the external sd was/is greyed out for mount and format.
I tried the disc in my pc and it read as fat, so I reformatted it as fat, and it still does not show in the phone.
I tried putting files on it when connected to the pc, and it worked.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is this a common problem for this phone? Does the card need to be named something special? I looked in the manual and cannot even find what format the card should be (fat,ext4 etc).
Thanks in advance.

OK so,
Tried Formatting the sd as NTFS? what kernel do you have? what compilation of froyo do you have?
External SD is mounted as vfat.
Can you see the SD card by using a usb adaptor outside of the phone? If not, try another card. If yes, format it there as a fat and try again in phone.
