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

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

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.

Format it, will be the way

Simply download the SD formatting tool from their web and format via the software that will 99.9% work.

check it if it is locked or not 'there is a small slider" so unlock it and format

[Help!] SD Card

Hello XDAians..
So, basically, something is wrong with my SD Card after partitioning using Swapper..
Now, my phone doesn't even read my SD Card. You can't go through files, etc.
I know the problem is not the ROM nor the PHONE.. because my phone reads my brother's SD Card which is the same class, space & type..
I can't format because MiniPartition tool also doesn't recognize my SD Card.. Help?
My SD Card is a Class 2, 8GB, MicroSDHC.
Please help. I really need my SD Card to install new ROMS and MODS..

Have you tried CWM built in

It also doesn't read anything

Try it in a computer. That doesn't work, it's fried. I had that with a 16GB PNY card. My current Samsung works fine no matter what I do

The thing is, I don't have an adapter for the SD Card..

If it isn't working in cwm then you only have to find a adapter and partition again...
I got the same, after I deleted swap it solved

Hmm.. I know I got an adapter somewhere in my house.. Just need to find it..

Mini tool partition is the best...
Use it and delete swap
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2

hmm if you swaps, i recommend u use a class 6 or higher to lower risk

please use class 2 sd class

maybe you can use card reader to check it..is it still FAT format or not
then try to fix it or something else like repair your sdcard
and turn on your phone WITHOUT sdcard
last, turn it on again WITH sdcard

Phone Won't Read SD card

I reformatted my SD card that was in my phone a while back but the problem now is that is my phone will not read the SD card. It only shows the internal memory.

Maybe the SD card is damaged? Have you tried it on a different device?

Okay, most likely somehow your format got interrupted so I suggest to try formatting it again. If that doesn't work Mount it to a PC right click the SD cards partition and click properties then scan disk and post error results if there are any.
EDIT: sorry, didn't notice your upper post.
Not formatting through a pc might've been the problem all along, keep us posted.

Lost.dir SD Card problems...

I use a sandisk 32gb sd card on my Z1.
(Bootloader Unlocked, Cusom Rom & Kernel.)
Now I notice that, I soon was missing files on the SD card, found it back in Lost.dir..
And with Recuva software also,
How is this happening?
I backed up the data of the sdcard to pc, formatted the sd card to fat32 agian.
Hope it won't happen again.
Has this to do with mount of unmount of the sdcard?
I never had this on my Xperia T with a sandisk 16gb.
Any help would be appreciated

Can be a faulty SD.

After formatting is seems to go well
