I recently updated via the files on the Asus website. Now, I am no longer able to access the sdcard through Windows explorer. Anybody else having this issue, or any remedies?

when you connect it to the pc, does it show up as a device under windows explorer(Transformer TF101)
there's a folder in device storage called removable, if this isn't showing up just pop your microSD card in and out while it's plugged into your PC.
When the TF is connected to the PC, you will first see the built-in storage, inside there is a "SD Card" folder, that is the SD card.

Can't access the SD card from the PC....
I'm using MS File Explorer on the PC and am connected by USB cable, and can see folders that appear to be the data on the internal memory of Gtab, but don't see anything for the external SD card.
Can you get to your external SD card from your PC?? Any idea how I can get it to show up? Want to be able to transfer files, but am currently having to keep pulling it out of the Gtab and put it into the SD card slot on the laptop to get access.
I'm running Vegan b3. Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
If you share your pc drive, you can use ES File Explorer, by selecting LAN instead of local.

Fyi, I just tested this (network sharing) and was able to access shares on a Win7 machine and on a WinXP machine. For the latter, I had to use the "guest" user, with no password.

I think he wants to do it the other way around; access the external sdcard from the PC.
One of the glaring goofs by the OEM devs and the firmware. If a microsd is in the slot, we should see two logical drives when the device is mounted.
Incredible, Galaxy S and Tab versions with internal space shows two drives (as they should). Another issue with the G is the microsd unmount function is problematic- at best.
all my pictures are gone from my sd card right after I disconnected the usb from the g-tablet..no items were found..I then took out the sd card from the tablet and re inserted it and no pixs..why did these happen?I also have the vegan installed on this device..what could it be?any help?thanks..
I havent seen this problem with pics but, the safest thing to do is put an empty file named ".nomedia" in whatever folder you store stuff on sdcard2 or dont put them on sdcard2
HI..so how would I have to do that connect the gtablet to the pc and just transfer all the pixs to the sd2?

The ".nomedia" file tells the tab that there is no media in that directory so it doesnt look. There is a bug when the tab is trying to scan for media it deletes it for some reason. This only happens on the external sdcard. They seem to be safe on the internal sdcard.
I cannot access my external sd card that's in my gTab from windows via the USB cable. I seem to remember that when I first bought it , I could see both the internal and external storage when I connected the gTab to Windows via USB (when it still had stock ROM). Now I am running rooted VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b5.1.1 and when I connect it via USB to windows I can only see the internal storage (I couldn't see it when I tried cyanogenmod either). I can access both brom the gTab just fine and if I take out the ext. sd card, windows reads it just fine.
Any idea why and/or how to access both internal and external storage from windows when gTab is plugged in via USB to windows?
As far as I know you could never access the external sdcard from the computer by usb
I load things from my external SD to internal SD and visa versa using ghost commander. Not a super big deal just one extra step. At this point I almost forgot I had to do that to move files between them and my PC.
i use a app that mounts them both
The way I found to access my external sd card from my computer is to ftp into my gTab using filezilla on my computer and SwiFTP FTP Server (available free from Market) on my gTab. Here is another post that talks about how to access the ext. sd card remotely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869844

Thanks, I know some other people will want to try this app.
Not a great fit for me as I dislike the delays built into a lot of free apps.
I just plug a USB thumb drive into my PC, download the files onto that then plug it into my tablet and download from the USB drive onto the SDCARD. Easy like pie.
Works the other direction too!!!
I have mu micro sd card in my tablet and when I plug my tablet in via usb I open up the storage and open up micro SD and it won't let me delete or add anything to it.
Also, when I try to delete stuff on the micro SD from the tablet, it says permission denied.
I don't have access to a micro SD to SD adapter anymore, so what can I do?

I had this problem on a phone's SD once. My solution was to reformat the card. Sometimes if it has trouble reading any portion of the card, it can revert the SD mount to read only. You could verify that by looking at the removable folder through root explorer if you have it.

How do I reformat while it is in the tablet?
I can't put it into my computer anyother way besides the charging cable through the tablet
I removed mine and put it in a PC card reader and formatted that way, then put it back in. Again, what I did was on another device, and this is strictly a guess based on your description.

I'm having a similar issue when I install or move a game to the external SD. All the games are gone from the app drawer and just force close. Have you figured out a fix for this yet?
