I keep seeing references to internal SD card and External SD card, and just now I was using SDMaid and it lists Sdcard (8GB) and External SD card (empty). Is there a second slot for another SD card that I am unaware of.
I put the 8GB card that came with the phone in the slot next to the sim.
I have wondered this for a while and after searching, I decided to pose the question here to get clarification.

No, there is other slot. Some phones, like the Galaxy S and its variants, do have a soldered on internal SD and a slot for an external. The Desire HD(and therefore Inspire) do not. You can in theory partition your SD card and it is supposed to show up that way, but DO NOT DO THIS.
That's what I thought, but I had to check.

Hello,
I own an HTC Touch HD. I recently semi-bricked it by flashing a bad rom, switched to an Orbit II - including the 8GB SD card.
In the meantime I flashed a working rom back on my Touch HD, put my SD card back into the Touch HD and switched to that phone again. Everything seemed to be working, until I took a look at the SD card (both through the phone and through "Disk Drive".
However, now the SD card is only listed as a 968MB SD card, with most of the original files gone, and the remaining file/directory names and contents broken.
Now I don't have access to a Micro SD card reader, so I cant access it directly. I was just curious as to whether somebody has an idea how to fix this SD card again, or whether my SD card is broken.
The data on the SD card don't matter - just wanna know whether I should just buy a new SD card
I have found a lot of hits on Google referring to SD card reporting wrong sizes, but those were mostly about reformatting, which is definitely not the issue.
Also examining the SD card with diskpart didn't yield any relevant information.
Is this SD card really broken?
I have a 16gb SD card that is coming tomorrow, but I got my phone tonight. It came with a 2gb SD card. Can I root and install the ROM on my 2gb SD card and swap in my 16gb SD card tomorrow? Does the ROM install to the internal memory?
It depends what phone and which type you put on. If you have an android native phone once you flash your rom from your sd card you no longer need it so if you swap the card it won't have any problems. If you have a windows phone and use an sd build it'll obviously be on your sd card so if you swap it out, you won't have it any longer once you swap it out. If you use NAND it's on your phone, so you won't have to do anything
i have my 16gb class 4 micro sd but its reading one as an sd (this imaginary one) and my actual memory card as an EMMC. how is this possible and what could fix it? i tried wiping and reflashing and im on the latest cyan nightly.
The phone has two sd cards, the internal and the external. The internal card also has 16 gb worth of memory, the same as your external card.

You already got your answer.
Once again, sorry......but not always a happy ending.
I had an issue with the SD card hardware bit of my phone and can no longer insert an SD card. Is there any way I can mount the internal SD as an external one as well so I can take pictures to it/make the gallery recognize it. Thanks
What ROM? CM7 has an option to do just that.
I had been using my SD card as internal storage for sometime and then one day I factory restored my phone and now it won't read the SD card. I tried formatting the SD card and integrating it with the internal storage again but that didn't work and my SD card is now unsupported even to be used as external storage.
Please help me fix this issue.

If you have a microsd to regular SD card adapter, plug it into your computer, and re-format as exfat, or NTFS, try both. If you don't have one, pick one up at Walmart, Walgreens or cvs
