[Q] How do I access the internal storage? - Nook Color General

In "Storage Settings" I can see I have 4.94GB available, but I have no idea how to access that partition. When the NC is connected to my PC, I can only see the 2GB SD card and the 1GB Nook partition.

this will help. just remember to eject before unplugging.

[Q] internal Storage help

Noob here and I believe I might have created a partition on my internal storage and not the sd card
I;ve restored to factory default and my settings show 5gb of available storage but I thought there was 8? I plug in my nc to my pc and I see two drives - nc one and the other is blank.
How can i get the extra 3gb back or is 5gb correct?
thanks

[Q] SD and internal card Q

ok, just reflashed to streakdriod and things are nice and quick. I am looking to see how the storage works, setup some apps2sd, etc. I have an 8G SD card in that's completly empty. When plugged into my MAC I do see it available and empty. So I remove it, plug it into the streak and do the following
I select settings/storage and see the following;
Internal:
Total Space 0.00
Applications 90.67MB
MicroSD:
Mount external Storage
When I select Mount external Storage I get a quick display which looks like a breakout of pictures, etc. then it returns to that same screen. So is there a market app I can use, or a specific file system I have wrong, etc.
Also, when I plug into the streak, select mount the mac shows the mounted drive with the following info;
Format: MS-DOS (FAT32)
Capacity: 13.07GB
Available: 13.06GB
So here is my confusion. I am guessing the streak comes with an internal 16G, and the avail partition for my stuff is 13G. But why can't I mount that external? Also, can you use an apps2SD and use the internal 13G avail?
Thanks

[Q] memory problems internal and sd

My phone displays that I only have 8GB total to store things on my sd card even though I have I have the 16GB card that came with it. It also displays 4GB internal for storage even though in settings it says 8GB. Any ideas what is wrong?
i to am having some isues but not the same as yours. when i mount my phone to my computer it will only mount the external sd card. cant seem to get the internal storage to mount. sometimes when i download an app is tells me not enough space when there is plenty of space.
with the messed up way motorola has partitioned the internl storage, it is causing alot of isues.
Well I know on my nook color (rooted and running cyanogen) when I try to mount the internal to the computer it doesn't work either so I'm not sure if the problem is the device or a limitation of Android.
Oh and I have had the not enough space message pop up when trying to download some apps I've found retrying the download or rebooting has helped.

[Q] Prevent Internal SD USB Auto-mount?

Is there a way to prevent auto mount of the internal storage whenever we connect to a PC via USB? The external SD card should still be auto-mounted.
I use my 6GB internal storage as the primary SDCard on my O2X and the external SD card as my storage area for music, movies etc. Essentially that my ext SD is what I frequently use for transferring media from PC to Phone and very rarely transfer stuff to the internal storage.
On the int storage if you have apps, pics being used as wallpapers and widgets, etc. then USB auto-mount of int storage disables all of them when the fact is that you just need the ext SD card.
Any ideas on how the USB auto-mounts can be controlled?
Thank you.

Changing partition table ?

Hello Guys !
The internal SD card partition is ****ed up and it shows as "unmounted".
I tried a lot of things, including connecting the phone to computer and formating the damn internal storage, but when i plug the USB cable, the phone says that don't have SD card and don't allow full access or Mass Storage.
I tried some programs and file explorers who claimed that can format partitions. No one of them did works.
I tried from the settings of the device to format the internal storage, but i can't change or touch anything, because it shows the internal storage as "unmounted".
I flash it to the stock rom but in the process of flashing, it don't even touch anything in the partition table and after the flashing, the internal SD card is still "unmounted".
Is there any program, tool, way to repartition the partition table on the device ?
I have searched for that in google and i didn't find anything of that sort for Xperia X8.
My other phone, LG Optimus 2X for example, it have AIO toolkit and from there i can change his partition table as i want.
I doubt in that i can't do the same on Xperia X8.
What can i do in this case ?
By "Internal SD card partition" do you mean the Data partition?
Yes.
Are you sure? Does your phone boot? Are you able to install apps?
I mean... that partition where the other data like music, videos, files for apps are stored in there or the partition that file managers sees.
And now this partition is broken and unmounted. The phone show stupid errors everywhere, of the type of "Put your SD card to make photos" or "No SD card" in every app that store data...Now i can't do nothing, i can't even transfer one song and set it as default rington.
But the phone starts up successfully and i have no problem with installing apps from the old "Android Market".
Then that would be your Externel MicroSD Card. If you take the back cover off your phone it should be in the top right corner.
Try taking it out and using an MicroSD card adapter to connect it to your pc and format it.
Or use an app called "AParted" from the Play Store to format your MicroSD Card(Root access required).
No. The phone don't have inserted SD card. I am talking about the "internal SD card". As far as i know, the partition that the file managers sees is the partition left for free data storage, and that is not the whole memory, there is another partition that is hidden and is for the system files for android.
So, the phone boots up and "works" but i need to make repartitioning, but i don't know how to do it on this phone and what is the procedure if there is a way.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The phone has 2 main partitions one is System(For OS related files and folders) and the other one is Data(For Apps and App Data), No File Manager can see whats in them(Unless you have Root Access). The only thing that would be visible to your File Manager would be whats in your MicroSD Card. If you don't have a MicroSD Card you will not be able to save any pictures or videos or any thing like that(Just like any other Android Phone with a MicroSD Card Slot)
So, this phone uses the whole internal memory for the system ? And its required to put a microSD card to be able to use the phone ?
All my android phones has a partition for free storage and i am suprised of that i can't storage anything without SD card.
This Phone only has 250MB of Internal Storage and it uses about 128MB for System. That leaves you with around 122MB to install Apps. The Phone is 100% Usable without a MicroSD Card, the only thing you will not be able to do is Save any type of External File(Video. Audio, ect.)
