Hello,
I've got a big problem with my Galaxy. Yesterday I resetted phone to factory settings (wipe) and after that I formatted internal SD card from i7500's menu. Everything seemed to be OK, so I connected my phone to Windows (I wanted to transfer music). Transfer seemed to be succesful, so I plugged off the phone.
Phone was checking something with memory very long, so I rebooted it.
After that I can't get access to internal and external sd cards, they are unavailable in the phone's menu. I can't play music - there's a warning: "An error was encountered on your SD card". I can't also use options "mount" or "unmount" in phone's menu. Total space and other options in the same manu are unavailable.
When I connect i7500 with my computer, Windows recognizes it, but I have to insert disk when I try to access internal and external SD card... There's no "select to copy files..." notification on phone screen... I don't know why.
I also tried to connect with "mass storage only" box checked with no results.
USB debugging mode wasn't succesful too, because Windows asks me for drivers (standard i7500 x64 drivers don't work, I'm running Vista).
My Android version is 1.6, previous owner changed software...
What can I do to solve my problem?
Sorry for my bad English.

Hi guys...
just started having an issue when connecting to my work PC... it worked normally up until today.. .
plug it in as usual then select disk drive.. and it does nothing...
have also noticed after a soft reboot i get a message "failed to open US english" and all my shortcuts lose their pictures...
have also got a message saying the explorer had crashed...(on my phone)
And after that i cant get into resco or any apps installed on my sd card...
I have had a search on the forum but cant see anyone with the same issue so apologies if it there is a post already....
Hayulp!!!
mm just rebooted my pc.. ok now... mmmmm weird
i had exactly the same problem yesterday. connected as disk drive, then explorer.exe crashes, and cant run resco, coreplayer and some other apps on sd... how exactly did yiu solve this?
just rebooted my PC... shall keep an eye out for it again though...
rebooting pc solved problem on your phone? rebooted with phone connected? rebooted phone too? i tried turning phone off & on again, didnt work. not currently connected to pc...
ok, ive found the problem: the opera cache was saved on storage card.
when connecting as diskdrive, the sd is not available on phone, so when i started opera it creates a folder "storage card" on main memory to put cache files.
when disconnected from pc sd comes available again. and is then named "storage card 2"
solution: delete the faulty "storage card" folder, then restart phone
So I bought a used nexus one, att 3g running cyanogen and am having issues. I am a total noob, fyi. The phone does not recognize my 1GB or 8GB SD card, and my computer wont recognize the phone. I do not have the sd card that the previous owner used so I have no recovery image or ROMs to flash. Can someone help?
Perhaps you have developer mode on.
I need you to go to Settings > Applications > Development
If you have USB debugging checked, uncheck it.
If it is not checked, then what I say is not you solution. As a last resort, you might consider grabbing a cheap card reader that you can insert your sd card into which connects to your computer via USB.
Thanks aeronex.
I tried that; no success. I was thinking the card reader may work, so i will try that. I didn't expect this when I bought the phone, but it seems that with android there is almost always a solution.
I';m betting someone who reads this will know.
When you say won't recognize, do you mean not even the Pop up in Windows that says a New Device and searching for drivers? Try downloading and installing PDANet for USB tethering to get the drivers.
As for the card under Settings>SD Card & phones storage settings is Unmounted Grayed out or in White Print?
The option is grey. It won't allow. I will try the pdanet drivers now
No luck with PDAnet. Windows 7 still say "Unrecognized device drivers not installed". I have downloaded SDK and tried to manually install the drivers as well; no success.
So to recap the option of mountign SD card is grey, not white. I have even booted into recovery but cannot mount SD card that way or format SD card that way.
Hi all,
Have been having issues since last week with my phone connectivity to the PC. I'm able to connect it to my PC and see it in my device manager but my SD Cards don't mount. But in My Computer i do see an extra CD Drive & Removable Disk populate, though they contain nothing and when I select them they ask me to insert media. I have USB Debugging turned on and just did a fresh reinstall of the drivers.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Derek

This should fix you up...
1) Power down phone
2) Remove card
3) Mount the card in a card reader on a Windows machine and have it do an error check (and automatically fix file system errors).
4) While Windows is scanning your card, boot your phone with an empty card slot and then shut it down again after the boot is complete.
5) When Windows has finished repairing the card, reinsert in phone and boot normally. If it was not a physical problem with the card it should work again.

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it out and i'm still getting the same result. Both the internal and external sd's are getting mounted as a cd-drive and removable disk but they don't contain any information still. I tried reinstalling drivers again and it didn't help. Not sure what could be causing this issue...it's very weird.
Turn off debugging and try again. My cpu will not allow mtp mode with debugging on. Turning it off allows it to work (for me)

I flashed back to root w root66 and the re-flashed CMW and CM10. This fixed the issue, although now i'm getting greyed out connection bars on both wifi and 4g, though they're still connected. Any reasoning for this?
I'm having a problem connecting my device to a computer as Mass Storage. It was working fine for a while until it got unintentionally unplugged while I was connected via ADB as root. The device will connect fine as a Media Device (MTP), but when Mass Storage is selected the drive letter comes up but is greyed out (how it looks when you have a corrupted usb drive). Prior to the problem you would get the internal sdcard partition. I'm also having a problem with Samba Fileshareing bombing out temporarily before enabling wifi sharing, but if I click "wait" on error screen Samba finally starts sharing. None of this behavior was present while the mass storage was connecting properly.
I have no external SD Card installed, I'm rooted, I've applied the 6MB OTA update and have all the latest moto drivers on my computer.
I tried fixing this problem by first doing a factory reset (no luck) then I fastbooted back to the stock image and reapplied everything. None of that fixed the issue.
I think the device is having a hard time unmounting the internal sd card partition? I'm not sure what's going on and I've searched to the end of Google. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Hello all! Yesterday my wife's SD card crapped out on her, so naturally she handed it to me. I tried my phone and it says, "Blank media". When I plugged it into my computer it says, "Card not formatted, would you like to format?" I tried to format and it said, "No drive inserted" and "cannot format drive". I downloaded a couple programs: REMO, Test Disk and HP Disk Storage Recovery; they all failed to see it. I can see the drive on my computer, but it cannot read the drive. Is there a way to recover the data or is it toast?

I had that happen to me once when I accidentally cut my sdcard's drive from my PC instead of copying it.
The literal only way I was able to fix it was by inserting the sdcard into my device, booting ClockworkMod, going into the Advanced menu, and then wiping and repartitioning the card from there.
Hope this helps! :good:
I had the same problem like you
