When I plug the REZOUND in and select DISK DRIVE mode, I see HTC Storage (which is the internal storage) but do not find any link for the external SDCARD. Any ideas?
When I just plug mine into my Windows Vista laptop it shows up as
"HTC Storage" and then on the next drive letter: "Removable Disk"
and also tries to mount a VZW "CD drive" to install VZW stuff.
I've seen other threads about this where people used some file transfer/backup program when they connected but I can't remember what they said it mounted as.
Odd
Thanks ... it STILL didn't show up; but at least I knew what to look for, so I went into my W7 "manage" and found it ... W7 hadn't assigned it a drive letter. THANKS!

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?
My computer will no longer mount my internal memory when I connect my Atrix to my PC. It recognizes the sd card, but not the internal memory. Does anyone know why this might have happened and how to correct it?
I had this problem but in reverse, when I installed cm7, my computer didn't recognize my sd card. Found out it was a drive mapping issue as the default drive letter was being used on my network. I solved this by right clicking on "my computer", then click "manage", then "disk management". Look in the window and find your device, you can identify it by the size. Right click on it and choose change drive letter. Make it something like K or L. It should then show up. Hope that works. You do have mass storage clicked on don't you?
Thanks for the response. I do have mass storage on when I try to connect to my PC. Im going to try what you suggested.
Thanks again.
I have a similar problem from time to time, my PC will only mount the external SD Card. Generally when this happens, it's because I have an app open that's got a file lock somewhere on the internal card (e.g. Root Explorer, Music Player, Samba File Sharing, a downloading file...). I use Go Launcher EX and select "Close All Programs" in the app panel, and this generally let's my computer mount the internal card right away.

Thanks for the hint, I had this problem before but was unable to figure out why...
EDIT: when this happens (PC unable to mount sd card or internal memory), I used to use "adb" to push files to phone instead... this is a workaround of the above issue, though it's somewhat cumbersome.
I clean installed Flashback 10.3 (kudos to the developer!) on my GTab, and it works great. I do have a question...
When I plug in the USB cable from my PC (and turn on USB storage, of course), in Windows Explorer (Directory Opus actually) I can "see" the SD Card as drive G, but I can't see the root drive (Internal Memory). I do get a "Removable Disk H" that displays, which I suspect is internal memory, but it says there is no disk in drive H, and the properties say everything is 0 bytes.
I downloaded "APK Batch Installer" to allow me to back up my GTab apps to my PC, but it can't "see" the internal memory to get to the apps, either.
I have ES File Explorer on the GTab, and I can see the internal memory there; and from there I can "back up" the apps to the SD card - and then, of course, I can see them on the PC and back them up to the PC.
So I guess the question is, how can I see the internal memory (not the SD Card) from my PC? Is that possible? If not, fine, but if so, I'd love to know how.
Thanks, Cecil

There are 2 reasons for what you describe, above.
The first reason--the 2 drives showing up--is, I suspect, the same bug that afflicts the other HC ROM for the gTab, GtabComb(Over). Only one drive--for the SD card--should show up over the USB cable. Start reading from this post onwards for the details and for the "bug fix".
The second--the no disk in drive H: message--is related to the same bug, but, the actual reason for the 0 bytes and the message is because the filesystem that is being presented as drive H: is ext3 (the /data partition) and not vfat (AKA FAT32) like for drive G:.
So I guess the question is, how can I see the internal memory (not the SD Card) from my PC? Is that possible? If not, fine, but if so, I'd love to know how.

The description above, and details in the post I linked to, should give you a clue if you really want to do this, but, I strongly recommend that you not export /data over the USB cable like that--esp. on a running system. Doing it in CWM is okay; but, not in the ROM--you will very probably trash the /data filesystem if you change anything there.
Hey All,
I made the mistake of "recovering" my external 32GB microSD card on my Galaxy SII in OSX Disk Utility to try to make it a Mountain Lion Disk image.
Now it doesn't appear when I enable USB file transfers, and when I press "Mount USB" in System->Storage it says "Preparing SD card" but nothing happens.
Is there any way to recover this microSD card or is it bricked? I've tried booting in to CWM recovery and formatting /emmc, but to no avail.
Thanks!
What if you format it as fat32 on the computer?

You have to plug it back into the mac, and do the following:
run the disk tool from finder menu -> utilities
select the sdcard in the disk tool, choose partition , choose settings on there and select "master boot record" choose 1 partition in the drop down menu, then select "fat" in the format options, and let you mac do its work ... now you can mount it again in your android phone

(if that doesnt help, msg me, and ill help you fix it another way)

Unfortunately the external mini SD card no longer appears at all. The internal one does, of course, but thats always appeared as a separate disk, and is much smaller in size.
So I connected my Sd card with my computer the other day, and I used Paragon Partition Manager. Didn't think too much before doing it. SD card won't show on windows, but can see it in my phone.
Also, my phone's internal storage is showed as a portable mediaplayer. Why won't it show like a external drive? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I have all USB drivers installed.
