Hopefully someone can help me. Im new to the XOOM. Bought a Verizon model.
I have copied files from the computer to the XOOM SD Card. On the computer, it shows them moving over to the XOOM's SD card.
When I go into Astro file manager & click on the External SD card, it gives a popup that says New Directory, Directory does not exist. Create?
When I click ok, it says error writing file.
How do I get the XOOM to actually read the files I moved over? Do I need to root?
The xoom reports its internal storage as an SD card. Check there first.

Astro file manager needs pointed at the correct location (it's stupid that way,) go into settings and set it's external SD card path to /mnt/external1.

So I am trying to add more things to my memory card and I deleted some old things...however...my storage space stayed the same. I have a mac. I went into disk utility and tried to repair it but it didn't help. Its a 16 gig card and I don't want to have to wipe it add re-add everything. Anybody have any tips out there for me? I would really appreciate it.
Your memory card may be faulty, or it may be write protected. Did the files actually delete?
Where do you have the Memory card, in your device or in your Mac ?
Try to reboot your device or empty the trashcan on the Mac.
Your memory card may be occupied by deleted files that are in a trashcan on the device itself. I.e., on SD card my LG GT540 is folder /.Trash-1000 (she is hiden for unix-based OS).
It says that the files are deleted. They may be in a trascan on the sd but how would I find that. The data is off my card I just don't get the memory back so I can add more stuff.
So where do I go on the sd card to empty the trash bin or whatever?
I don't think there is a trash bin.

Search any like /.Trash* or RECYCLE
And what OS on your phone? And filesystem SD card. Maybe you use a modified firmware with support for ext4 filesystem, and a memory card for ext4. Then just a part of the space can be used for root.
Or your card just damage.
Sorry for my bad english.
By now, you probably already figured it out, but on your mac (with your phone connected to it) select your device and then go to your Trash and empty it. That should do it.

I was wondering if there's anyway to set my external SD card as default, right now everything is being saved in /mnt/sdcard/ not /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD.
For example, I just installed DropBox and every file that I download goes to the sdcard directory.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

There is a thread in the development section that covers that. I havent read it myself but it may have the answers you are looking for.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a rom, where larger apps, like the gameloft stuff or some navigation apps are installed automatically onto the external sd card?
Or do I have to wait for gingerbread? Will gingerbread solve this problem?
I am new to LG. I am coming from HTC and there is almost anything possible.
I loaded iGo satnav from the external card with a .apk file and had the data folder also on the external card. It seems to be happy to have the data on the external card. And runs without any hassle.
