Are you trying to copy from PC to ext sd?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
It should show up as a seperate drive with the phone if you're mounting it as a USB drive. It would show up as something called Removable Disk (with a drive letter) if you haven't renamed the card before.
You are aware that on your phone the Ext sd is called emmc on cm base roms?

And I don't have a file called emmc either mate
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Go to your file manager and look for 2 folders
emmc
sdcard
one will be external sd & other internal sd
If you are on stock ROM then looks for SDcard>external_sd
I have a external file an a SD file but this phone has internal memory and external SD built in to it just that dosnt allow me to use mine to move apps to etc I managed to put some pics n music on it but wanna use it to save space on my phone aswell

Stock?
Are you running a stock rom?
What were some of the things you were doing before this problem started?
The more info the better
No I got ics rom on it and it hasn't worked since I rooted the phone mate I think its got somfin to do with the phone having its own internal and external SD cards I don't know if I can removed external SD card myself but I doubt its just like a normal SD card
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
If you're running cm9, ur external sd card is at mnt/emmc. If you were to put to mnt/sdcard/externalsd/, you are simply placing ur files to internal sd.

Under Settings, under Storage there is the option.
Be sure to save ur stuff from that external sd card to ur pc first, then format it.

Probably something with the ROM. I always had problems with sd cards on cm7 and both the ics builds. Kept losing the card everytime the phone went to sleep.
Now I'm on stock kk4 rom and its still not showing up...

No offense, I am only trying to cover the bases. But is ur external sd card being recognized under Menu/Settings/SD card and phone storage/SD card ?? And if so, is it mounted ??
Also, is the directory path /sdcard/external_sd ?? (u can look at My Files in the app drawer and see)

Update
I kept having this problem on kb2 and jf6. I swapped the card for one that had about 3gb of stuff on it and no more problems. Either my first card is bad, or it needs to have some stuff on it.

+1. If the problem still persists, try to reflash the rom that you're using.
Also make sure you have checked/unchecked the USE INTERNAL STORAGE in case what you are seeing as external is actually internal sdcard and vice versa. But what you have doesnt seem like a cm7 issue I have seen before so unless you had it connected to a pc and pulled the cable out while something was being done to the external sdcard (removable) that corrupted the card. Jn that case pull out the card, reinsert it and see if it starts to work. Also then at that point check to make sure you can see the files on the INTERNAL SDCARD at the correct location mnt/sdcard. Then if the external card still is not working try to reformat it to see if you can save it.
I have had the external sdcard turn off after a small fall where I had to actually power off the phone, pull the card out and put it back in, then reboot the phone and it was fine. Hope you get it figured out.

How about other sd cards? Have you tried to put it on your phone?
Sent from my Captivate
The external SD card folder is in a different location on ICS. It's in the root area under EMMC. (It used to be under something like sdcard/external-sd).
I thought mine wasn't working either. Not only that, but my media database got corrupted so that external sd songs wouldn't play because my Captivate was searching for them in the old location.

Oops i thought you said CM9. Perhaps CM7 works similarly though. Check it our.

Put your external-sd on card reader on computer (don't use phone) and do the partition using partition wizard

Backup all your data on a computer any try to reformat the card. Try to do a full format rather than quick format as the full format can help fix some damaged partitions.

Use the card reader and do a defrag. Our sdcards sometimes get fragmented.

Yes I know its because your card has some errors on it probably some corrupt file but just try to defragment or run scan disk or reformat and copy back your files.
