[Q] can't acess sd card after rooting/flashing my SGS i9000

I've just flashed my SGS i9000 to CM 9.1, and i can't seem to have acess to my 8 Gb card. The Apollo player that came with the rom is able to find my mp3's in the card, but if i try to acess it through ES File Explorer, i can't find it.
If i ask for the phone statistics and choose the option SD card i can see all the files and folders, and see that the card is located at /mnt/emmc/, but it's location isn't shown on ES File Explorer.
Also i can't seem to restore my contacts backup that is in my sd card.
This is my first attempt at rooting/flashing my mobile. So please have some patience.
Thanks for the help

Edit:
I've installed Root Explorer v2.17.2, changed mounted as R/O to R/W, and have successfully accessed my external SD card....hope this info will help others with similar problems...

Reboot?

[Q] Did Google lift the Kitkat external sd card file write limitation?

While the external sd card file write limitation is still there for non file manager type app like say a youtube downloader like tubemate, it seems ES file explorer and Rhythm software File manager app are now free to do whatever they want with the external sd card. That includes creating folders, moving files to folder that they did not create like the DCIM system folder, etc. File managers type of apps now are free to do whatever they want with the sd card once again. I'm not sure but I read that this was a big problem with kitkat and non native file manager(MY FILES is Samsung native file manager). So I think Google realized that this was a pretty dumb thing to do to third party file manager type app and somehow allowed it to function fully again while maintaining restriction on other apps like tubemate which is still restricted to it's own directory on the external sd card.
I am not rooted on on stock Kitkat.

[Q] Access External SD Card WITHOUT ROOT

I tried to copy around 2GB of files from my internal Memory to the External SD Card and a dialogue box appeared saying I need to root and use SDcard Fix to be able to move files using the file manager[Solid Explorer]
Suddenly I regret buying this phone because why would I need to unlock bootloader and root just to be able to move files from Internal Memory to External sdcard?:crying:

I don't have such problem accessing (copy move delete) sd card. I'm using X-plore file manager
while some apps like Nexus otg file manager have problem copying files to sd card, don't know why

Try ES File Explorer. No problems here with no root.

I want to change permission of a file in External SD card.

I was just copied a read-only file in my externalSD using card reader from my laptop. From my mobile I can't able to delete that file. So I've tried to change the permission of that file from my mobile using almost every file managers out there. But none of the file manager helped me to do so...
☆I've rooted device.
☆Busybox installed
☆And I've changed the SDcard writable permission ON by using "Kitkat SDcard Fix" app from Playstore
What should I do now to change the permission of the file in my externalSD card from my mobile???

SD card overwriting issue when you are moving the file with app Solid Explorer

Hi there,
Anyone got the overwriting issue when you are moving the file with same name from SD folder to another SD folder?
You will get unknown issue if you click "Move to" when you get the pop up window.
The file in the target folder will be deleted, but the moving operation stopped.
Thanks

There is no issue if you overwrite the file with same name from internal memory to SD or from SD to internal memory.
