umm, no. you mount your sdcard to your pc. open up the folder. copy all your files off and onto your pc. done.
but if you would like, i can write you a windows based app that can do that too.

I assume you are trying to copy to the internal sd. The fix is the following:
1. Copy everything from your internal sd to a computer.
2. On your vibrant. Settings->sd card and phone storage->phone storage (which is internal sd) FORMAT
3. copy everything back
Done
If you are trying to copy files larger than 1-2gb there is no fix. It just doesn't work with this rom...

I had the same problem with AOSP 2.2
I download SD_fix.zip and flashed it and now problem solved.

Why did they make the sdcard folder on the internal ram? All my apps write to arcade not ed_ext. Titaniumbackup, Rom manager, browser, you name it. Not to mention a factory wipe in cwm wipes the arcade folder. Am I missing something? Are the devs going to fix this within the Rom?
Great question... This gets on my nerves.... It wasn't this way on my Droid Charge and boom I saw it on my Bionic and now the Rezound...

That is because we are using a Unix file structure. (EXT/2/3/4) Unix (and its derivatives) see drives (USB drives, extra internal drives, SD cards, etc) as folders/files not as devices. There are ways to make these devices appear to show up as a device rather than a folder to the user, but at its core it is still treated as a folder by the kernel.
Desktop linux file structure has all extra storage devices listed as folders in the /media folder of the / (root) partition of the file system.
This structure is also why we have the /system and /data partitions in Android. Its another throw over from the linux base (desktop linux is usually / and /user or /home)
Seems there is no consistancy between OEMs and how they tell the file system to arrange user storage. Some have /SDCARD1 /SDCARD2 and HTC has the external card listed inside the internal memory. It could be that the internal memory is mapped to the /media of regular linux.
/sdcard is a symbolic link (shortcut) for /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard2 is a symlink for /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd
So really they are all the same, just how they choose to link the location is different. Either way, that is just how linux works.
Can this be remapped? Is so, how?

considering the available storage does it really matter where the data goes?
I've just htcdev unlocked my bootloader (which wipes the phone) and it didn't touch the internal sd card or sd card2. Installing a ROM that wipes the device did not either.
So what's the big deal where it goes? I use the internal storage for apps and game data and my 32gb sd card for media and roms.

And all that really means is that, if your application writes data to a different location, you just copy the data to your SD card. Not really a lot of work. Got used to it with my Dell Streak 7...

When I did a few wipes, it did wipe my sdcard folder. That is problem 1. #2 is then I have to config all my apps that default to sdcard. #3 I have to now backup sdcard and sdcard2. #4 wah I don't want change.

That's what I read, so I backed it up, but htcdev didn't wipe it on my device (does a factory reset when unlocking), and it wasn't wiped when I installed chingy's rom (that auto wipes), so I don't know why some are experiencing this.
Not to mention that wiping with amon ra also does not delete the internal sd card.

Titanium backup was mentioned, it's really easy to go into preferences and edit the backup storage location. I used to walk a lot of people through it with the remote unlocking process I would do.

I am new to this and i want to swap my 8gb sd card to a 16 or 32....can anyone tell me the steps on how to go as far as formatting or doing a partition on the card....not sure how and don't want to mess up....thanks
Insert new SD. Go to settings/storage and data/ Press erase on the SD u wish to erase.

OR, you can back up your current sdcard contents into a folder on a computer,turn off phone, insert new sdcard into phone,turn on phone, reconnect to computer. Copy and paste the contents of your sdcard backup folder,minus the main folder name you filed it under, then reboot.

be careful which one you choose to format if doing it from your phones settings
remember
the sdcards are flip flipped if running eclipse
if running cm7 I don't think they are flipped
just backup all files to be safe to your computer

are you running a ROM??
and no need to partition anything
don't even TRY to partition BSR if that's what you are talking about
I'm pretty sure it will mess up something
how can i partition and wat is the safest way to transfet my file to the sd card. i got 2gb sd card.

You can partition with pretty much every recovery software. I think rom-mangaer will even let you do it from a bootet OS.
How you transfer stuff depends on the version of Android you are running.
AFAIK (I'm really not so sure):
Starting with ICS all you need to do is select from the Settings what should be moved to sd.
Before ICS you need to move Apps manually.
I have a rooted i9300 running Paranoid Android 4.1.2. My problem is when I use my root file explorer to move my nandroid back up made with rom manager to my external SD card and go look for it when I'm in recovery mode I get the message NO FILE FOUND when I select it. The title of the back up is there but apparently there is no file there!! I'm a touch confused as I have another SD card I keep all my ROMS on just to be safe and they were all moved there using the same root file explorer.
move the whole folder
I'll give it a try, cheers.

FAIL..!!! lol
I moved the whole folder again and it has made no difference!! majorly confused now.
Gonna just try and copy the folder and move the copy to my external SD card. Kind of defeats the purpose of what I was trying to achieve by having all my roms and back ups on my EX SD to keep space on my internal storage lol
Make a backup on Ext SD card then copy previous backup to the same location .
jje
To clear it up, try copying the whole clockworkmod folder, not the whole backup folder
Will give all of the above a try thanks folks.
