lol yes
keep this one, remove the other one (idk how to)
Without any basic info, I would just simply suggest you to do a reflash, a clean installation, start from scratch.
Re: Internal SD Card not mounting?
Well I'm on the slimbean rom 4.2.2 build 2.5
Current, when I go to storage, it says that I have only 1.97gb of internal storage when I should really have 11gb.
I'm running stweaks with the ajk "everything works" kernel
In storage, there is a category called "USB STORAGE" under it, it says Mount SD Card but it's greyed out. And then it says "insert an SD card for mounting" meaning that my phone doesn't even think I have an internal SD card.
In CWM, of I try to Mount SD card, of doesn't let me and if I retry to format SD card, it doesn't let me

This happened to me once. I removed the card and put in my PC then copied all the data off as a backup. I reformatted the card and then when I put it back into my phone it mounted great. I then went back and moved all the data back via USB.

USB storage would be the internal memory, or internal sd card if you prefer, and SD card would be the external sd card which you must insert first before you can mount. If you will look again, you will probably see that it says device memory is 1.97 gb total space with usually 1.something gb still available. I don't know your rom and kernel real well, but maybe device memory is called internal storage? USB storage should say something like 11.36 gb total space.
So if the USB storage is not being recognized then the problem could be either hardware or firmware related. So did you flash back to stock, or reflash your rom or another rom? That would be the first step of troubleshooting.
you formatted your external sd card to do this?
Researching...
so i did some more looking around on the forums today and found out that there is a way to get back your internal sd card by running these commands
i opened up terminal emulator and ran these commands that i saw on another forum:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot
apparently, after the reboot, your phone is supposed to have mounted the internal sd card manually.
however after trying this method twice and rebooting, i still have the same error and my sd card has yet to be mounted

nope, all it says is that internal storage total space = 1.97gb
SD card stoage space (external sd card) = 3.68gb (this is true becasue i have a 4gb external sd card)
theres nothing that says 11.36gb free total space

I got distracted when I was posting that and hit send before I was finished. I went back a few minutes later to finish it. The whole point was to say that the problem is either hardware or firmware related, and to troubleshoot it you need to flash back to stock, or re-flash your rom or another rom.
Also, assuming the mount commands you used in terminal are good working commands, it would point to possible hardware failure.

Odin
im in odin right now trying to go back to stock but im stuck on factoryfs.img any ideas why?
CM sometimes messes with the partitioning or something. I have almost no experience with CM so you will need to get some advice from the CM guys. Try posting in the CM user thread maybe. Also mention your memory question there as it could be related to CM, maybe.

lol where is that thread? and i tried another method in odin by using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
i used their odin and now im stuck on cache.img
hey i just saw something interesting. when i go to CWM and try to install from internal sd card, it says "E: Can't mount /emmc/" any ideas as to what that means?
SOLVED!
First off, i want to thank all of you guys for helping me out i couldnt have done it without your support and suggestions.
Heres how i solved the internal sd card problem:
Well, i tried to use odin but odin didnt work and then i used the cyanogenmod 9.1 stable build but that didnt fix it either
Heres what i did: Downloaded the Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly build for 3/29/13.
after flashing it in cwm (i put it onto my External sd card), i rebooted system, it loaded up and whatnot
and then it told me that my internal sd card was either corrupted or unsupported.
it also gave me the option to format it in order to fix any corrupted files.
so i formatted it and voila! its fixed

Hello,
I am trying to remount my SD Card, so I could fix the "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" error on the playstore.
But the problem is that when I try to unmount it on Settings > Storage, options are greyed out and I cannot press it.
So if I scroll down on the storage settings and I go to the SD CARD section, it shows the Total Space which is 1.84GB, and available space, which is also 1.84GB. Doesn't that mean my SD is in fact working correctly? The only option I see is Mount SD Card. But that option is grayed out and I can't press on it.
I have tried formatting the SD card from my computer to FAT32. Still same problem.
I can also put movies, music etc onto the SD Card, and yes they work.
Now i'm just confused on why I can't remount my SD Card.
Any ideas?
thanks

Okay thanks I will try this, but does this method format my SD Card and USB Storage?
Something that says "Fixing", i always think it might format

Okay, so I tried the steps, and no errors were found...
But when I go to Settings > Storage, my USB Storage has been detected as a Internal Storage. So now it says I have two internal storage, and no SD Card and USB Storage.
Before I tried the steps, I had 1 internal and 1 usb storage
bump, really need help
thanks

In twrp go to mount section and check sd card , then connect to ur PCand move rom and gapps zip file .. and then do a clean install.
I formatted the micro SD card into internal storage (adopted storage) and whenever I flash some ROMs on it, I get bootlooped. Is there any way of solving it ?
Thanks in advance.
Explain again what was your system version when you did that. What do you want to install now, and what happen if you take the SD out.
I think it's not related to the SD.

You have to wipe data while flashing a new ROM, as your SD is now a part of Internal.
