Try removing the memory card and reading it directly from a computer. If you can see the contents, copy whatever you need out of it. put it back into the phone. Format. reboot and see if the phone reads it right. If it does, drag and drop whatever you backed up

Looks like I wont be able to find the missing files because my little cousin had my phone and accidentally erased everything on the internal memory and sd card

Download photorec.
You can recover your SD card as long as you don't copy anything over to it

OK thanks where do I download it. I'm searching for it in the market and it's not finding it

Google it, it's a windows/linux/mac program.

(Q) move apps to internal sd??

Is there anyway possible to move apps to your internal sd instead of external sd?

EDIT: Disregard. I was wrong.

I've tried this multiple times and it doesn't work. It sends them to my external sd no matter what. I have been searching everywhere and I don't think you can move them to internal sd. Thanks though.

Okay, you're right. They don't go to the internal sd. Thought I had read that they do, and in the app manager, it showed them as being on the 13gb partition. Just pulled my SD card, and the apps don't show up. So, it would be nice to know how to put them on the internal card.

Alright, making this happen involves editing /system/etc/vold.fstab and moving the .android_secure folder from your external SD to your internal SD.
See the thread linked below. Study the first vold.fstab file there and make the same changes, and move your .android_secure folder. I did this and now I really do have most of my apps on the internal SD.

Thanks for finding that. I appreciate it. I'm going to have to try it later on this evening.

I finally tried this and I could not get it to work. I tried a few times and nothing.

Worked for me. You can replace your vold.fstab with the first download in that thread if your edits didn't work. Move your app folder using a PC, reboot, and it should work. This just swaps how the system uses those partitions. It worked too well for me. I ended up preferring the default setup since I change roms so much.

Does this do a full reversal of the sd cards? The reason i ask is because i have a few games that have extra data (mostly gameloft games) that i would like to move to my external sd because they will only play if they are on my internal. I have a 16gb external that i would like to put the game data on.

Yeah, this reverses the cards so that the external sd is seen as the internal and vice-versa by the device. So any data stored by apps on one card would now go to the other. This is one reason I haven't continued using this mod, but it may work for what you want.

[Q] Goo App

This may be a simple fix, is there anyway to get the goo app to load the newest nightly to the external sd card. It downloads it to the internal sd card and then I have to move it to the external SD to use it with CW. Is this the way it has to work or is there someplace to change the download location in Goo?

You're talking about a website...? Goo.apps? Where we all get roms from?
In that case, you'd be using tablet browser to download the file. So yes, you can change the 'downloads' location to /ext/
But I dunno how.

Check the settings for which ever browser you prefer.

All photos and Videos missing from Xoom

This is the second time that this has happened. I lost all my video and photo files from my xoom and SD card. Im not sure why. Does anyone know how to get these files back?
Also i noticed that in both times that this happened my SD card had begin to duplicate my files as well. Soon after every folder on my sd card was duplicated 4x all my files was deleted. Now is there anyway to re-acquire these files? PLEASE HELP.

No way that I know of to get them back on the internal, but there are a couple apps that support the external SD. There is no way to recover internal storage because it is a fuse filesystem and nothing supports recovery from it, not even PC applications because it's not mountable as UMS.

Can you recommend an app that worked for you or that you know work for sure?

Never used an android app. But I have successfully used R-Studio which is approximately $80 retail, but works wonders.
