Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing this issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.
Are you sure your navigating all the way up? Have you gotten to the directory where you can see "sdcard" and are not seeing "sdcard2"
So simple if you know what to look for. Thank you ever so much.

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a dum question but i cant figure out what the issue is. I have a 4gb micro sd card in my Vegan Gtablet. I can go into es explorer and see the sdcard 2. I have been able to create a folder in that sdcard 2. When i take it out the folder is gone so i know that is the place i need to be. Anyways When i try to move media files from sdcard to sdcard 2. It gives me a error and wont move it. What am i doing wrong or am i missing something?
Any help would be great. Thx.
have you tried using Root Explorer to make the folder r/w? I'd like to understand the difference between the sdcard and the sdcard2. I have my gtab (vegan) mounted currently to my pc, and i see sdcard as empty and sdcard2 with files, but when i had no card in, the sdcard had the contents and sdcard 2 was empty.... Anyone have insight on these folders?
sd card2 issues
I am also running vegan on my gtab. my computer can not see sdcard2 (external card) but I can transfer files to it via usb drive using adao file manager. when I shutdown my gtab the files dissapear. Is there a fix that will allow us to use the sdcard2? Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
I went and used root explorer and gave me error that its a read only system. Im trying to move media files from my built in gtab memory to the micro SD card? How can this be done? Help !!!

There should be a button at the top of the file list to change from RO (Read only) to RW (Read Write) file systems.
When i went into Sdcard 2 no such option. When i went to Sdcard there was. When i went back and held down on SDcard 2 and went to permission that is where i got the error.
Did you format the micro sd card correctly? I had some problems and then formatted it on my PC to FAT32 (make sure you back up your files on the card beforehand to your PC) and all was ok. I can transfer files to it via es file explorer or Astro.
vcs11 - your computer won't show your micro sd (sdcard2), only the internal storage. Disappearing files on sdcard2 seems to be pretty common. For a solution search the forum for ".nomedia" file.
Is there any way to make the SD card show up in the settings on vegan 5.1? im using the pershoot 1/09 kernal...i can see internal storage, but i can't see my 4 gig card in settings. i can still navigate to it with root explorer.
i'm sorry if this is somewhere else on the forums...i searched but could only find the ginger fix. i'm not sure if it's the same...
thank you
Hey all,
I added a 32GB micro SD card to my view and (being a Windoz guy), I don't understand why it shows up under /mnt/sdcard/ as ext-sd. Is there a way to have it mount so that it is under /mnt/ext-sd? I guess I just don't understand how Android manages these things. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that, when opening any file manager, it defaults the view to /mnt/sdcard/ as a starting place to browse files. Does anyone else find this odd? Or is it just me?

If you use Astro you can set the home directory to ext_sd in the preference tab.
Hi folks
here's my problem: I have my NT setup to run CM7 straight from a 32GB SD (the card is accordingly partitioned). Everything works great, really. However, since the Nook app is my favourite reader I would like to use that. Yet - afaik - it can't be directed to the path where I have my ebooks stored (the SD card partition on the SD card in my case).
Here then my question:
Does anyone know where I have to put my ebook files, so the Nook reader app sees them and puts them in its library?
Or is there actually a way to have the files stored on the SD card and have any reader app access that path?
Cheers and thanx for your help.

Yep. You've already installed the Nook for Android app, correct? If so, you should be able to use any file explorer to copy your eBooks to the folder Nook\MyDocuments. Anything you put in that file (assuming, of course, that it's a file format that Nook can handle) will show up in your Nook app until the "My Files" and "All Items" pull down menus.
Salduos and happy reading,

Hope not too dumb a question but I cannot seem to find the location best suited to copy text, Word, Excel, etc. files to from my laptop to NT. I have CM10 running and a 16GB card, plus a repartitioned area with an additional 10GB although I don't see it.
Where is the best place to copy/access files such as these?

Why not just make a "documents" folder on your SD card and stuff the files from your laptop there?

Well first of all you don't need to add an additional partition on your SD card. You should have 4 made: /boot, /system, /data, and /sdcard. You would place all files onto your /sdcard partition from your computer.
Here's a guide for bootable SD cards, it shows the partitions you should have:

If you're running CM10.x internally on emmc and with an SD card in the slot, you should be able to access both the NT internal storage partition for user-content and the SD card storage. If you use a File Manager app such as ES File Manager to browse the NT's root file-system (you need to go into the FM app's Settings to enable "Root explorer" option) the internal user-content storage is mounted as /emmc and also as /mnt/emmc, whereas the SDcard storage is mounted as /sdcard and also as /mnt/sdcard. You should also be able to see these storage areas when you connect your NT to your PC via USB.
Think the issue is when i use any of the three file manager apps I have installed, and then open /sdcard, I don't see anything. I know for a fact there are apps installed and some test files I copied over, so whats the deal? have given all three root privileges...I'm either looking in the wrong folders, or, something isn't configured correctly far as I can tell...makes no sense
BTW - That is my setup Digixmax - so then these are the locations to copy my files?
