Vegan Ginger edition - I plugged a thumb drive into the usb port. It auto mounted - available on usbdrive. When done I closed all applications (basically Astro) and opened terminal and typed umount usbdrive. I get a message that the drive is busy. Hmmmm I unplug the drive anyway and then I have a constant alert in the status bar telling me that an sd card is unmounted (they aren't) and to plug in another. If I plug in the usb drive the message goes away. I discovered that rebooting will also clear the message. The question is, what is the proper way to unmount a usb thumb drive when you are done using it. It would seem that having to go to terminal and type a command is a bit tech - is there a better method?

is what you want.
After trying to figure out how to get my 16 gb sd back instead if only having 70 mb partition I screwed something up by deleting the partition and some how made the whole sd bad and now my card won't even read. I'm rooted but don't see a market, nothing no apps but I have cwm so idk weird I can't figure it out so ne help on fixing my sd would be great thanks

When you say it won' t read are you refering to from within the NT? This issue has been discussed and the easiest way is to format the SD from within the NT.
If you hear the ding dong upon inserting and ejecting the SD card fom the nook chances are pretty good you will be able to format it.
I assume you are NOT running CM7 and if you are ignore the above and RUN as fast as you can away from any formating within to NT. LoL
I had this same problem. I couldn't figure out a way to do it in windows so someone else chime in that knows more than me.
What I had to do was put it in a linux machine and using gParted find the menu option to create a new partition table then select msdos for the type. Hope you have a linux machine handy.
Good luck!

This is a sure fire way. I didn't referance it because not many users have access to a Linux machine.
If formating within the NT doesn't work this will for sure!!
No Linux sorrie but yeah didn't think about the nook doing it I'll try and see if not my 16gb is bricked till I can figure something out thanks for the responses

Careful with what Land Master said, If you're running CM7 you'll have troubles. I tried it after I did the new rom and luckily got an error message and didn't brick my device but there have been lots of reports of that happening.
If you have a usb stick lying around you can make a live boot usb with unetbootin. It should have gparted on any distro you choose from the list.
So now I got the card to show on the nook but now it won't show up on the computer so idk what's going on with this sd card I really would hate to get another sd card

The card itself is pefectly fine and you can always run either the live cd for gparted or you can run a live cd of any linux distro and have access to the program. A live cd means the distro runs from the cd and doesnt touch your Hard drive at all so theres zero chance you will mess up your pc. Heres what I would do in your case. I would download and burn one of the millions of linux distros out there and then unplug the Hard drive from the computer so that it doesnt get wiped at all then put the disc in and boot from it then use gparted to correct the sdcard issue.

Unetbootin (referenced above by Binary_Aegis) is a WINDOWS program that is used to make a bootable memory stick. Once done you will boot into the memory stick without the need to "install" Linux on you Windows Hard Drive.
Google it for more information but it was an excellent suggestion!

Everyone has access to a linux machine as long as they own a cd burner or a 2gb usb stick.
Download ubuntu and either burn it to a cd, or make a bootable usb drive (instructions are right there on the ubuntu download page on how to make a bootable usb drive).
Put the drive or cd in the computer, turn computer on, select the first option on the menu. (live boot or whatever) This will boot you into a ubuntu machine capable of running gparted.
To access Gparted from that live desktop, do the following:
1. open a terminal (ctrl+alt+T or ctrl+shift+T I don't remember which offhand)
2. with terminal window open type in: sudo passwd root <press enter>
3. type in a password. something short, reenter it when asked.
4. now type: su<press enter>
5. put in the password you just made.
6. now type" gparted
The Gparted window will open and automatically scan for all connected drives. Figure out which one is your sdcard, make changes, exit.
Restart pc from ubuntu menu and remove cd/usb drive.

I had that issue when I playing around with the Indirect root method for sd card and what not. I lurked around the forums and tried a program called EASEUS Partition Master. From there I could delete the partition and reformatted the whole sd card to fat32 and that restored function to it. Another issue I ran into was that the reader from my NT wasn't picking up the sd card, but luckily my laptop had an sd card reader and that picked it up.

See the problem I'm having now is i got the card working its back to normal but for some odd reason it won't show on the computer ne more. So I'm thinking a driver on the computer for showing the sd is messed up somewhere. So I'm wondering exactly where and how to get to these drivers to uninstal and rehook the nook and put the drivers back on there. So ne insight on this feel free to lmk k thanks

I had the same problem, the problem is that the NT can actually read sd cards better than windows. This happened to me when I reformatted but did not change the type of the partition table. Are you sure you created a new partition table of the msdos type?

Hi,
I have an issue and cant seem to find anything on the forums.
I use Linux ubuntu and when I connect via my USB dock I can see the folders on my external storage but cant access them.
Its a 32GB card formatted to FAT 32. When I take the card out of the phone and connect directly via SD card slot it works no problem.
I have spoken to somone about this and they think that when I rooted the device as I did not put in a password this is why I cant see whats in the folders. Its something to do with security does anyone know if that is correct?
Thanks
Mathew
mm tried:
run "fdisk -l" command. Here you'll see the USB and it's path.
Create and directory name /mnt/usb/ then use the command
"mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb" and then, "cd /mnt/usb"
?
That does not work
If I re rooted the device when I re root will it allow my to put a password on it? Which would mean each time I connect my via USB would my Ubuntu machine ask for the password and give me access to the files?
trahedy... phone don`t want to flash firmwares... Odin always stuck and heimdall too... WTF ?! what l need to do now?
Does anyone one have any idea do I just need to reroot my phone?
Hello, I am having a problem getting my galaxy tab 10.1 to recognize a usb flash drive I have connected via an adapter. I know it works because it detected a wireless mouse I connected to it, and it shows up when I use dmesg or lsusb in the terminal. The thing is that none of the file explorers I've used (Es, Astro) are able to detect the files I have on it. The usb drive is formatted to fat32; would it be more likely to detect it if I formatted it to ext3 or ext4?
Maybe you need to use this?

Thanks so much for showing me that! I went through at lest five other apps that didn't work before trying this. :victory:
How can you tell what format your MicroSD card is? I can't tell if im Fat32 or extFat. I don't want to take it out of the phone either.

Are you using Windows or Linux?
Either way (without removing the card):
- Windows:
1. Connect device via USB Cable to a computer.
2. When the computer recognizes the device (and your device's folder directory appears), right click on the MicroSD, and check "Properties".
-Linux:
1. Same as above, but you need to have your distro properly configured most of the time.
OR
You could search on the Market for an app that could tell you. I'm sure there has to be one. It might not be exclusively an app that tells you the format, but I am sure there are many tools that provide that information as a part of the app.

It's Windows 7
When I go to Properties on the MicroSD card it just says
File System: Generic hierarchical
So it's not showing the file type at all.
