I cannot view them on my XP workstation. They appear for a min and disappear. I might have accidentally formatted internal with CWM at some point. I restored to 198_7 in an attempt to fix but it did not fix. I would appreciate any help you guys got.
EDIT: after installing stock ROM I could only see one SD card with way too much space than I thought I had. I then installed AOKP and show two sd cards... only sd card is view able. internal EMMC does not work.

i have done alot of nonsense to my tablet, but for some reason i don't think my tablet is recognizing my internal sd card as memory. I tried downloading a file from a website and it said that i needed an sd card to download the file...this never happened to me before recently. I remember the tablet recognizing the 16 gigs of internal memory as essentially an sd card on the system. I think it now recognizes it as maybe internal memory and needs to show it as an sd... i don't know for sure... is there anything i missed. do i need to partition something? i just flashed cyanogen 7.0.3..
so it happened just after flashing, or already before? in cm in a file manager do you see sdcard?
Dunno about thekafka, but I have just flashed the same version of cyanogen to my G-tab, and am now experiencing the same issue. This did not start until after the installation. File Manager and CWM do find the SD card.
Is there an optimal partitioning scheme to use when flashing this ROM?
In CM-7.0.x, the internal SD card is mounted at /mnt/emmc and the external SD card, if one is attached, will be mounted at /mnt/sdcard. They're not trying to make things difficult for new users--it's just what's sensible for the wide range of devices that CM runs on: internal SD cards at /mnt/emmc and removable SD cards at /mnt/sdcard, whether on phones (remember, most phones don't have internal SD cards) or tablets.
If you're coming from another ROM where the internal SD is at /sdcard (or /mnt/sdcard) and the external is at /mnt/sdcard2, you, and some of the applications that you use, might get confused.
It's easy enough to switch the mount points so that internal SD is at /mnt/sdcard and the external will be mounted under /mnt/emmc. There is even a CWM-installable zip file floating around to do this easily. Search around here or at the cyanogenmod gtabet forum.
Thanks for being helpful and smart and stuff.
Here's the address of a thread with fixes, including the ZIP file that rajeevvp mentioned:

I receintly have been getting not enough space. I have a 16 gig card. I knew it wasnt full. So i looked into it and some how its basically saying i have 2 sd cards in. 1 named sd card, the other is EMMC. The SD card is very low on space. but the emmc is barely touched. i dont know how the card got repartitioned but im willing to wipe out my entire sd card in order to delete the partition so i have 1 big drive again. I have been searching this on the forums for about 2 hours now with no luck on how to just delete the partition. even tryed looking through cwm and the phone settings. right now im currently running cm7 ICS
try this: http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
Emmc is the internal storage. At least that's what it's referred to as in roms like cm7

Ill have to take a ss and post it cuz its crazy. i dont understand how I have an sd card, internal sd, and emmc with a single sd :-/
I guess if i could just figure out a way to just point the phones default save posistion to the emmc drive i would be ok also
That's the way it's supposed to be. Sd card is your sd card, internal storage is the partition on your internal sd card. for apps and emmc is your internal sd card.
You cannot delete the internal storage partition because that's where your apps reside. Emmc is just like your external sd but internal.

I was in Sub-Zero recovery and for some reason the phone cannot MOUNT the EMMC which to the recovery is the External SD card, that I have read. So I decided to PARTITION it, and partitioned it alright, my INTERNAL SD CARD. It completely FORMATTED IT, all my music, my ROM downloads, recovery downlaods. WTF? WHY WOULD IT TOUCH the internal SD card, when i told it to touch the external SD card? And yes I told it to do the external NOT internal.
When I went to mount it, it STILL COULD NOT MOUNT IT. I put my SDCARD into my computer directly it had to format it? There should of been 4GB of FAT32 left, if the partitioning did it correctly. It didn't and I still had to format it. It reads fine in my computer it's an 8gb SDHC card, tell me this phone can't read SDHC??
Why can't this phone read this SD card, when my computer can read it fine, and why did it touch the internal SD card, getting rid of my backups, and everything else? Why would the recovery do that?

What rom and version were you running? CM9 swapped /emmc and /sdcard in one of the latest commits, it's possible the ROM you're running cherrypicked that commit.
I have a 16gb NT which I started out with CM7 running off the ext. sd card. Loved it so I decided to load it on the internal. Well after doing that, CM7 uses only the ext. sd card (8gb microsd) rather than the internal memory. I can still boot to CM7 without the ext. sd card, but I cannot install apps and what not.
I am familiar with android but I'm not expert. I feel like its so sort of partitioning issue, and I'm sure its been covered before but I just can't find the right answer.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Is a different issue here. He is saying that internal partition that host installed applications and games is not get mounted.

I have been trying to flash CWM so I can install CM7. I rooted this month ago and just wanted to try something different, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I can't flash the SD cards.
I downloaded the zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798439. That seemed straight forward. I first tried imaging a 16gb SD card because I had it sitting around. The image worked, but the card was now 69 MB. Yes, MB.
The booting worked and got me to the CWM menu, but I can't copy the CM7 file onto an SD card that is only 69MB, so it's useless.
I went to Best Buy and figured that since the instructions called for an 8GB SD card, I would try that instead of the 16. I also used a different computer. It did the exact same thing. The card is pretty dead... reformatting lets me reformat a 69MB card.
So as you can see, I'm not really even to the problem of CM7, I just can't use that program to get CWM going on the SD card.
-Windows XP
-Dynex Reader
-SanDisk cards (a 16 and 8gb)
-That Win32DiskImager
Any suggestions? I'm going to buy yet another card, but I really can't afford to keep tossing away these SD cards. Should I do it through the nook? Do I need Windows 7? Is that Win32diskimager junk?
Thanks for your help.
Haha my goodness man, stop buying SD cards! They aren't 69MB forever. The image you wrote to the card creates a 69MB partition. The rest of the space is still on the card. To get the space back, you'll need to download MiniTool Partition Wizard on your PC and do some repartitioning. Don't worry, it's really easy, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
If I read correctly, your real issue is that you cannot fit the CM7 ROM onto your SD card after it becomes 69MB. There's an easy fix. Just copy the ROM onto the internal storage partition (/mnt/media) of your actual NT. Then when you boot into CWM, choose the option to install zip from internal SD.
Awesome! Thank you, good sir. I now have CM7... so I guess I'll go see how that works.
You can reformat the sdcard(s) now either on windows or on the tablet itself (go to storage, select unmount, then reformat).
You'll get back all your space. I'd suggest flashing clockwordmod recovery to internal after doing so.

No problem. Glad to hear you got everything sorted out now. Let us know if you need help with your microSD cards.
I downloaded and used Gparted to delete both partitions from the SD card, took me less than 5 minutes after I got the .iso burnt to CD.
It has been reported that off brand, class10 cards are troublesome. There has been many good reports for : Sandisk, class 4.
