Hi guys,
I have had an Atrix since a few months, and everything has been working fine. However, since the last few days when I connect the phone to my computer over USB, the external 16 Gig SD card shows up as a drive, but when I click on the other drive which is supposed to be the internal SD card, it says "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (D" in Windows.
Phone: Sim-unlocked AT&T Atrix, rooted, Gingerblur 4.5
Computer: Windows 7 (x64) with drivers installed
It has worked many many times in the past, and I haven't made any recent changes to the phone which are related to this in any way.
I have tried:
1. Changing USB connection mode between all 4 options, include USB Mass Storage
2. Restarting the computer
3. Restarting the phone
4. Switching on/off USB Debugging mode
5. Manually unmounting the "Settings" -> "SD card & phone storage settings" -> "Unmount internal phone storage"
6. Reinstalling the drivers - got it from here because the gitbrew link seems down
In fact I am able to view both /sdcard and /sdcard-ext using Root Explorer on the phone, so I don't think the internal memory is corrupt in anyway.
I've searched both xda and atrixforums, but not found a working answer to it.
Any suggestions? This is very frustrating.
Regards,
Varun
My phone has done this on occasion but a phone reboot fixed it.
Tried many reboots, but not working. Are there any filesystem integrity checks I could do via adb?

This may seem a silly question, but you don't mention doing it. Did you mount the internal sdcard after you unmounted it? Did you unmount while connected to your computer or when not connected?
Were you accessing your internal sdcard with any apps, or did you have it open in root explorer for example when you connected it to your computer? This can mess up the umounting procedure when you plug into USB.
Have you tried on another computer?

When I connect my Atrix to a PC and put it in USB storage mode, a removable drive comes up for the internal storage but it is not accessible.
The internal storage has however been unmounted in the OS and all the apps on it are inaccessible. If I go to Storage in Settings, I do not see an option to remount it so to remount it I have to reboot.
Any ideas what is causing this issue and how to fix it? My external SD card mounts fine it's just the internal storage that doesn't work....
This is happening to me too ... all of the sudden, BOTH my internal and external SD are not mounted. They do not show up at all in the settings ==> storage menu and are no longer accessible via PC when the phone is hooked up via USB.
When an app tried to access them, the error is "NO SD MOUNTED".
Any ideas ?
Hello, I have updated to Cyanogenmod 7.1.0. (stable version) and installed gapps on my phone (HTC Legend, rooted) but after that android market didn't work. So I decided to reinstall gapps with recovery thing (vol. down + power button) and after that some strange artefacts started over phone's screen. So, when I power up phone it behaves normally but I can't access my SD card (goldcard) and in settings > storage > is says that "total space" and "available space" are unavailable and I can't press mount SD. When i try to mount my phone via USB cable on pc, only USB debugging pops up and i can't mount my internal or SD card storage. After some time even USB debugger is stopping to work.
I tried to factory reset it but it didn't help. When I plug in my phone i get errors like "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" or "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Also, when i shut down my legend and power up it , the first "htc" white screen keeps blinking untill i plug usb cable and then i can normally enter in ROM.
Can you please help me with my problem or do you think that my phone became a brick?
Your phone is not bricked. Have you tried flashing a new rom?
I can't because i don't have access to my SD memory card and ROM Manager requires SD card. If you know how to flash ROM without memory card plz explain it to me, i would me very grateful.

What do you mean you don't have access to your sd card? Have you tried placing it in the card reader on your PC?
Yes, i have placed my SD card in USB card reader on PC and the card is working normally. But when I try to put my SD card in phone, phone won't read it and in Settings > Storage > under SD card tab it says that "Total space" and "Available space" are unavailable, "Mount sd card" is gray (I cannot click it) and "Erase SD card" is pressable but it doesn't do anything.

Have you tried to make a ext partition before this SD unavailable to mount happens?
If yes, or if no,
Try to format your SD to fat 32 once again.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
I have tried 3 times but nothing and when I put some other SD card it is the same ****.
It's working!!!!!!!!!!
"Fix SD
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
Make sure in device manager the driver is installed(Win 7 x64 downloaded them automatically)
Open command prompt like you would to use ADB and type
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
That should fix your SD card not being detected."
Guys, thanks for help anyway!!
After unlocking my bootloader and flashing Aman Recovery, I can't access my external SD card through my computer. Instead my phone gives me access to HTC Storage. Any ideas on how I would go about fixing this?
When I plug in, I get HTC storage and external SD mounted separately.

Usually three things pop up on the computer. internal sd. removable sd, and a CD thing.
I rename the ISO file in /system/etc to eliminate the CD popup (requires root)
Maybe try reinstalling the HTC drivers on the pc and reboot the computer.
Also check that your phone is not in charge-only mode when connected to the computer.
I reinstalled the HTC drivers and had no success. I can access my SD card through my phone, i.e looking at pictures in Gallery. However I still get HTC Storage and a CD drive thing.

when the phone is connected to the computer you should see a special icon on the top of your screen. if you pull down on the notification screen you should see if it is in charging only mode, or if it is allowing sdcard disk access. the access can easily be changed.
but if you see nothing special in the notification area then you have a bad cable, bad phone, or a pc problem.
When I choose disk drive I'm still getting HTC Storage and no access to my external SD card. Is there a way to switch memory access?
if you get access to the internal sd, then look in it for a folder called ext_sd which points to the removable sd card

Insure that the usb option is checked for cd drive
also the power option fastboot is off
I think there may be another option but the old man has a senior moment.

I've installed the newest RR rom today and everything worked like a charm but suddenly I realized that my usb storage and external sd aren't mounting correctly. When I try to download something in the browser my phone says you need a usb storage to download stuff. And when I open the gallery it says no external storage available and it closes. When I go to settings > storage and click Mount USB-Storage it starts to mount and then suddenly it disappears. Also it doesn't work to connect my usb storage to my pc.
I tried nearly everything even in recovery mode my phone can't mount the storage or sd card but funny fact: I can access my storage via recovery mode > install zip from sd card > choose zip from internal sdcard and boom everything is there.
WTF is going on!
Does anyone know what is going on and even better how could I solve it?
Thanks and regards Lukas.
I am unable to access/see the internal SD when I plug in to USB and choose USB Mass Storage option. I can access the external SD, but internal now refuses to mount. I rooted for the first time about a month ago and have not had the time to do anything further beyond a Titanium backup. Everything is present and working properly, I can use a file explorer to see the internal memory, but cannot access or manipulate via PC. My Computer presents two drives (internal and Ext SD), but clicking on the one that should be internal gets me the popup "please insert disc into drive..." This did not happen at the same time as root, have been rooted several weeks before problem appeared.
