Hi. I'd like to know how to mount both my sd cards when connected to a windows pc. At the moment when I mount as USB, only the external sd card shows up in windows. Both cards are visible on phone.
I'm running Aurora 2.04.

Does somebody know if there is any app that can mount or unmount the sd with getting the sd card out of the phone? Just I want to hide all my files from my card...
Just go into settings and select sd card and phone storage, then select unmount SD card for either internal or external card. To remount you will need to reboot the phone.
Voila!
How fast is the internal SD card? Is it at least as fast as an external Class 6 SD card? Or even faster?
I'm sorry for an off-topic post, but it didn't seem like an important enough question to create a separate thread for it.
Hey - I just seem to stuck here, I formated my SD card with android and it was unmounted . now I cant mount it back on WM , I only saw its possible in android.
But now of course I cant install android becouse I don't have my SD card..
How to mount it back??
format the card i think?
Go check my suggestion
in your other post in the correct forum for this type question.
this has nothing to do with Android Rom Development. We have a general section now, use it instead of cluttering up this section.
If you have a sdcard reader on your computer, mount the card and format it.
I would suggest a MicroSD card adapter, very cheap from most tech shops. You can usually mount it using this method.

I have another post about it in 'general' thread .
Thank you.
USB Mass Storage is not working after dual boot wp7 and android when i am booting android 'Cope's SD HD2 Gingerbread'.
i have used this method to partition sd card to run wp7 and android from same sd card

There is no problems during using wp7 but the USB Mass Storage is not worked during using android. HD2 can't read the SD card. the SD card is unavailable.
Can it be solved??? Anyone can help me??
Since you're running Android from your SD card, this shouldn't really come as a surprise. Some SD ROMs have semi-USB mass storage, but still this often doesn't work as desired. I advise to either use WiFi file transferring, or booting WP7 when USB storage is required.
it is able to find data in sd card by using file manager but the gallery is not worked. It can't show the video and picture which are placed in sd card .
It may be because the SD card is partitioned, as you mentioned. I never had a problem connecting to the phone as a USB drive when I used SD cards.
It may also be a faulty build. With it being a gingerbread build, I think it may be that as I couldn't connect USB mass storage using gingerbread, and that was a NAND build!
Do you have another SD card you could try the same build with?
Okay, that's another story. Mass USB storage refers to using your computer to transfer files on your SD card.
It really seems like something went wrong with the partitioning, you probably made a mistake somewhere in the process (or the video is wrong, in which case there would be a lot of complaints, check that first). Format your SD card and try again!
Edit: John, he's not really referring to USB mass storage. Android just can't mount his SD card, which probably means the partitioning (which is different on WP7) is f*ed up?
This problem and the solution is stated many times in the sticky thread about partitioning the sd card in the sd dev section. You have to use minitool partition manager and change the wp7 partition from logical to primary. That will solve the problem of android not mounting the sd card. Takes about 2 minute. I'll even attach minitool for you.
thanks a lot . i will try it . thank you
Hey everyone, need some help and been searching for hours for an answer. I have a rooted Galaxy s4. I have apps that are installed to my external SD through the system options and I also have used folder mount to transfer some apps to external SD. I'm guessing that these are hidden files on my external SD card. I want to swap my current 32GB card for a newer 64GB card. How can I create an exact copy of my external card? I tried copying and pasting all my contents from my external sd but it didn't transfer everything because my apps weren't there upon installing the new SD. How to I copy the entire contents of the old 32GB external SD to the new 64 GB external sd? Thanks

How did you copy them? If you plug in the phone over USB then it won't show all files on the SD card in the phone, you either have to put it in it's own USB reader or get the USB Mass Storage app to mount it

I plugged it in through my phone in USB mode and also manually took it out and put it in an SD reader. Either way didn't show
I installed App2SD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en) on my head unit in hopes to create symlinks between my internal and external storage to free up my internal storage to install more apps. In process of doing so it needed to partition my external SD card. I selected FAT32 & ext2. After it rebooted I found that my SDCard, USB Flash Drives, and External SD card were no longer mounted. Infact they dont even appear at all in ES File explorer as if they didnt exist. Looking in storage, I do not get an option to format my SD card or USB drives. I took them to my PC and confirmed they are still FAT32. I reformatted my Micro SD Card from my PC and although it was successful it did not bring any of my external devices back.
I cannot mount the SD card.
Errors Im getting
The above is the original mounting point of my External SD Card, taken from External 2 Internal - it is no longer mounting and External 2 Internal no longer even sees it when I scan for additional devices.
This is what appears to be currently mounted.
Additional troubleshooting I took.
If anyone could help I really need it because I cannot reinstall redmod without the device being able to read the external SD card, I also cannot listen to any of my music or access any of my apps that were moved to the SD Card. Also can anyone show me how to properly create symlinks using that app without losing all my mounts?
