Guys recently I started using 32GB card with my MMX CHD and everything is working only for when I try to connect my mobile to PC for file transfer via usb storage I can see only two drive one of CD drive of mmx and other internal sd drive and I can see one more drive but it is not mounted which is my external sd drive when clicked on it, it asked to enter disk guys plz help.
Solution tried so far by me
1. I have erase external sd card in mobile itself.
2. Reset the entire phone.
3. Uninstalled the mmx driver on my PC and reinstalled it.
this happens to most users...
a reboot fixes the issue

- First of all I admit it's my fault I wasn't paying attention..
- Second, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this here, So pardon me..
- I was connecting my SGSII using the internal SD card as a USB mass storage.. a the same time I was connecting my Kingston USB flash drive.
- I wanted to format the Kingston flash drive and because I wasn't paying attention,and By mistake I right clicked on the SGSII internal SD card-> format->changed the file System from FAT32 to NTFS -> pressed start.
- It didn't take me long before I realized what I just did and more stupidly pressed the cancel button and unplugged the phone immediately.
- Now phone works fine but won't detect the internal SD card
- Phone used to auto-mount the SD cards automatically when connected to PC
-When connect it to the PC , It detects and mounts the external SD card and I can access it normally , But not the corrupted internal SD card appears as Drive ( J ) but when I click it, I get ( please insert a disk into removable Disk (J
- I'm unable to format or detect the internal SD card except it is shown as Drive (J) on the PC
- tried to re-mount it using CWM in recovery mode but no joy as well..
- Please skip the blaming part on how stupid I was and please advise if there is any possible way to fix this, make the Internal SD card detectable and mountable again.. then I worry about recovering the files..
try this, go to settings> more> USB utilities> click 'connect storage to pc'> click ok > connect USB cable> then click turn on. this should mount it hopefully and you will be able to reformat it to fat 32..hopefully!
Thanks for your reply, I've already tried that with no success
- However Issue is now resolved
- I tried again with CWM in the recovery mode, I tried random things such as try to re-partition the SD card..
- And when started the phone and tried to connect to the PC, got notification that SD card is corrupted and was able to format it
- Although now data is lost but now SD is detectable again..
- Now I worry on how to recover the lost data
I am unable to access/see the internal SD when I plug in to USB and choose USB Mass Storage option. I can access the external SD, but internal now refuses to mount. I rooted for the first time about a month ago and have not had the time to do anything further beyond a Titanium backup. Everything is present and working properly, I can use a file explorer to see the internal memory, but cannot access or manipulate via PC. My Computer presents two drives (internal and Ext SD), but clicking on the one that should be internal gets me the popup "please insert disc into drive..." This did not happen at the same time as root, have been rooted several weeks before problem appeared.
I have a micromax a116. I rooted it using sp flash tool. Every thing was fine until I used the wrong update.zip file of mediatek mt6577 from this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274974 instead of using the one intended for micromax a116. Now the external sd card is not mounting. I have fomatted the device and still it wont read the sd card.

download the file for A116 from that thread.then place/copy that file to your memory card.
then flash that downloaded zip file through CWM/TWRP or whatever you used for flashing the update.zip
this should resolve your problem!!

thx for the prompt reply .. but the phone's internal or external memory is not detected if I click the USB Mass Storage option after connecting to the computer via cable. How do I copy the new update file to system internal memory card. Btw I can still access the system files during recovery mode !! I even see the old update.zip there!! the problem for me now is to transfer the new file to the system memory for installation !!

switch off your phone, then boot into recovery mode, then connect the usb cable to your phone & PC.
in recovery select "mounts and storage" --> then select "mount usb storage"
this will connect your sd card to your computer and then you can copy files to it then flash that file.
if that doesn't work, then you'll have to remove the sd card from phone and connect it to pc through a memory card reader and then copy files.

You could use a file manager that supports viewing LAN servers present on the WiFi network. Examples are X-plore, Astro etc. Copy the file stored on a shared folder on your PC, to your internal memory.
external and interna storage not detected after memory swap

After the official 4.2.1 update you can directly transfer all your files into your external sd card and memory swap is not required

Hi P9000 users!
I had now time to test some stuff with my P9000. One question: I inserted a Sandisk 128 GB SDXC Card (UHS) and formatted as internal Storage (want to move apps). Worked fine for the Phone and i was able to move apps to the SD. But after connecting Phone to USB (via MTP & unlocked phone) it only shows 32 GB internal SD. Also via File Explorer app on the phone i cannot find the external SD or mountpoint....
Anyone with same issue? I also changed connection-type to USB and then my OS (Win 10) does not open phone file system at all.
thx and br

We did an article about the SD card memory management in Marshmallow a while ago on the XDA portal that explains this, I'd suggest googling for it as I can't remember the title.
Edit: Something to do with the SD card being formatted as Ext4 (linux file system standard these days) and Windows not supporting Ext4 filesystems.
Thx for reply, so i am afraid its related to Android 6 default behaviour. So if SD is formatted as internal storage you cannot access via USB from PC or managing files on it via file browser app? Thats really disappointing for me since it then switches SD card to enhanced app storage only, useless for image, videos, music etc. Of course i can format as portable SD, but then no movement of apps are possible (via root its maybe the only option).
In SD portable mode, i also had issue that SD cards randomly disconnects and one time it even needed to be reformatted. Have read about that in another thread, that this is related to physical sd mount... will see to fix this with some tape :/ (gives me not a good feeling here)

Update: checked some forums and blogs, seems not to be android 6 default behavior that you completely cannot access the files on adopted SD-card anymore. after adopting as internal storage... anyone could also reproduce this? I will try doing factory reset with SD-Card inserted..
