Hi everybody,
maybe you can help me out.
somehow the name of the internal storage (card?!) changed ... i think it
happend as i unplugged my diamond and replugged it very fast. now the
internal storage is called internal storage2 and the programms installed on the
storage can't be accessed because the device looks for the folder called
internal storage and not internal storage2 ... anybody has got an idea how to
fix this !?
Hard Reset
if that's the only possible then i'll do it ...
thx!
HELP
On my Diamond the Internal storage has gone a bit wrong, it all started when i pluged it in my pc to charge it up, after i took it out them later on i went to do sumthing on it and the internal storage folder has changed it name to "Internal Storage 2" but the original "internal storage" folder is still there and i am confused about it
please help
I suppose you connected your Diamond to the PC as an external harddrive and not via ActiveSync. By doing so, the internal storage is no longer visible to the OS as long as it´s conncted to the PC.
I would imagine that during that connection some program running on your Diamond (e.g. Messaging etc.) was trying to access the internal storage, couldn´t find it and created a new folder Internal Storage 2.
Just check what kind of files you have in your Internal Storage2 - might shed some light on the mystery.....

in the internal storage folder there is only theprogram files folder and in that there is RSS Hub folder, in the Internal storage2 folder there is My documents, you tube and a MP3 folder also the internal storage2 folder has the picture of a mem card on the icon like the orignal storage folder used to be like.
And there seems to be the culprit: RSS Hub was doing an update while connected to the PC in harddrive mode > wants to store the update data on "Internal Storage", doesn´t find it so recreates it. After disconnecting from your PC the original "Internal Storage" becomes visible again, but is renamed in "Internal Storage 2" to avoid dublicates......had this happen a few times on previous devices, where the SD card could temporarily not be recognized.
Try to delete "Internal Storage", then rename "Internal Storage 2" back to "Internal Storage" and you should be back in business with all you program links etc. working again!

I had the same thing happen with "Internal Storage2" showing up. It was caused, in my case, by the phone being connected to the computer in Disk Drive mode and then the phone received something that it wanted to automatically store in the Internal Storage area which was unavailable (in my case it was picture mail). Since there wasn't an Internal Storage area available it created one called "Internal Storage". When the Disk Drive mode phone was released and disconnected it couldn't use "Internal Storage" any more and thus it renamed it to "Internal Storage2"
I didn't think of going into Disk Drive mode again until after I had already tried a soft reset. I removed the Internal Storage folder that had been placed in main memory and then did a soft reset. The Internal Storage without the "2" has come back and is the 4gb storage area.
I can't remove the internal storage folder because it has the internet explorer files, and they are in use. I fix it renaming the internal storage folder to another one (in mi cause almacenamiento interno2 to almacenamiento internozzz because my diamond is in spanish) and after a soft reset the internal storage was again in his correct name.
Hi,
I accidentally formated the internal storage of my brother´s diamond while hard-reseting it (I help him flashing ROMs and didn´t know the option to format the internal as well..)
Is there a way to restore the lost data on the memory ? Does PC Inspector reconize the Diamond´s internal storage ?
thx in advance for a reply
Martin
Try these http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk and http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec.
The reason I recommend this, is because I have successfully recovered images from a formatted camera SD Card, and the Diamond 4GB Storage acts like a USB Flashdrive.
thanks, but it didn´t work. Though I acted as described in the Wiki I got nothing...
Hi,
my internal storage is not showing correct size.
i have 2Gb of data on internal memory and it says 700Mb of free space instead of 1.8Gb
Does windows use this space ?? How can i use that space ?
Thanks
I assume you deleted some files (or so you might have thought) and these no longer show up somehow. I had this problem once. If you backup the stuff you want to keep and then use Pocket Mechanic to format your internal storage and then put back your backup stuff, you should find the storage size is now correct.
is it that if i delete a file through my PC (Disk mode) the phone doesnt know about it and assume it to be occupied.
will try it out if i dont find option other then formatting my internal memory.

#####I don't think that makes any difference.

Please yourself!!!
I finally got the Broken Out 2.0 flashed and everything working. Noticed the sd card icon in the Notification area and pulled it down. Message under notifications says " Scanning media Files... ; Internal memory is preparing... " It never goes away. I am able to view all files on internal memory with file manager. Any Ideas on what the problem is? Please Help.
EDIT: Backed Up internal memory to my PC and then formatted internal memory through storage menu. [PROBLEM SOLVED]
