Don't you have a card reader on your laptop? I don't know much about Ubuntu or Linux is, but maybe it can't read your file system on your SD card. I thought it read them all, could be wrong.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Ok, might be a wierd one.
I run Ubuntu 13.04 which sees both the internal (EMMC) and external sdcards.
And depending on how you connect they show up as internal storage (EMMC) or SD Card (external) if connected as a Media device (MTP), or as MyNOOK for internal (EMMC) or NOOK_16GB for the external 16 gb microsdcard. In the desktop file manager.
lsusb doesn't list either one, but they are there.
The NookTablet is there listed as Bos 002 Device 007: ID 18d1:6868 Google Inc.
That is under CM 10.2, though.

I have a rooted OF NT8GB with the following issue
missing SDCard when Nook Tablet 8gb connects to my Acer C7 chromebook running ChrUbuntu
so I see the 4GB internal data partition of the Nook Tablet 8gb but there is no hint of the external SD Card
I really only keep stuff on the SD card because we all know the internal partition can be wiped out and reset by the device
lsusb will list the NT8GB but not the external SD card
I certainly do not want to eject the SD card from the tablet
Note when I connect the Nook Tablet 8gb to my WIN7 Acer Laptop i see both the Nook tablet and the external SD card in the tablet
as 2 separate drives with 100% success
I really want to resolve this so I can switch over to Ubuntu completely
TIA

Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5110) which runs on Android ICS (4.0.3). I also bought 32Gb Class 10 Samsung microSD card as the memory could be extended up to 32 gig. But soon I realized that the external SD gets mounted as read only. So it doesn't allow anything to be copied. I then read in some forums and realized that a permission needs to be changed for which the device needs to be rooted. I didn't want to root my device so decide to copy data into it through my laptop running on Windows 7.
The problem is, I'm able to copy the data into the micro SD card from a laptop using a SD card adaptor. But what ever I'm copying in my laptop doesn't show up when I insert the microSD into my tablet. It just disappears!
Has anybody faced this problem? Is there a conflict in the file system between windows and android (non FAT16/32 or NTFS) which is creating the problem?
Any suggestion to overcome this will be helpful!
Regards

I have an interesting problem where I can't see an sd card anywhere but in the Nook Tablet. I recently purchased a Nexus 10 and was going to transfer my 32GB Micro SD card from the Nook Tablet to a USB OTG drive but noticed that it wasn't recognizing the card. So I plugged it into Windows to format it and but Windows didn't find it either. Put it back in the Nook Tablet and the Tablet can see it and if I plug in the tablet I can see the card in Windows again. Take it out and once again acts as if the card cannot be found. I tried to format the card while in the Nook but that didn't help, that just made it unseeable to the Nook till I wiped it with SDFormatter. Now the Nook Tablet can see the card again, but nothing else can again too. I have never seen this before. Is there some special format that I need to do on the card or is it forever stuck as a B&N card? I can't imagine they could lock down the card so much that you couldn't format it, but then again maybe they can (as I can't seem to see it anywhere but in the tablet).
If your PC does not see a "storage drive" when the card is inserted, I'd suggest that you try using Windows Disk Management utility or a Disk Partitioning tools such Easeus or MiniTool to assign a drive-letter to the card after it gets inserted.

I should have mentioned that in the OP, but EASEUS doesn't see it. I used that utility to fix another SD card (by correcting the partitions, was 16GB but only showed 255MB). For this card it's not even showing up to work with at all. It's very frustrating because it's only visible in the tablet. It also doesn't make sense, because I would think that something should show up (in the explorer or the Disk Management). I have tried it on 2 different PC's and a laptop. I haven't tried Mini Tool so I am going to try that next.
Seems to be the SD Card reader

I found the culprit. It seems that the new SD card reader that I got either only reads up to 16GB or doesn't like the type of card I have. Using another reader and it finally shows up. Although that reader is not recognized by the Nexus Media Importer.
Recently purchased some 64GB mSD cards and found my original (unmodified) Nook Tablet would not recognize them.
Am still considering what version of CM to install but am favoring CM11.0 KitKat (Android 4.4.4) for my Nook Tablet (esp if can use exFAT mSD cards).
Background: I am still using a WinXP Desktop PC (standalone No Internet) for basic Word Processing and Photo Editing and found WinXP would not recognize the 64GB mSD cards. Googled and found WinXP needs an exFAT driver. "Description of the exFAT file system driver update package" https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/955704 Have the same problem with some of my Android devices so Googled using "Android exFAT driver" but did not find a Google driver like found for WinXP. This was originally posted "Android exFAT Driver?" http://androidforums.com/threads/android-exfat-driver.1005003/
Received answer from svim "Android already includes support for exFAT to a limited extent....if your phone doesn't already support USB OTG (a lot of newer phones do but not all), it's not a trivial task to add OTG support as it requires rooting your phone and a change to its Linux kernel."
This whole problem shows how little I know about Android!
Since this posting I was told by a friend that it is possible to Format a 64GB exFAT mSD card with FAT32 and should be recognized by Android device.
Before doing this, thought I would ask if any Nook Tablet owners are using 64GB (or larger) mSD cards?
If yes please tell what you did to successfully use these larger mSD Cards?
Thanks

The Nook Tablet specs indicate that 32 GB is the maximum SD card size. I doubt it will be able to deal with a 64 GB card.
I have a Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70F (2015) tablet that runs Android 6.0.
I have a new 32 GB microSD card.
When I inserted the card into the tablet, Android asked me to format it, which I accepted.
When I connect the tablet to my Windows 10 PC and try to transfer 5 GB video files onto the memory card, it fails (no error message, just an error sound).
I presume it's because Android formatted the memory card as FAT32?
So I connected the memory card to my PC manually and formatted it to exFAT using Windows' built-in format tool but when I reinsert it back into the tablet, Android says it's corrupted and needs formatting.
Any ideas?
