[Q] Mount External SD to Computer

I previously had the original Vibrant. When I would mount the phone to my Mac Computer it would show both of my Internal and External SD cards.
Now when I mount my new Vibrant 4g it only shows the Internal SD card. I have turned on USB Debugging and it still won't display the External SD card.
Anyone know how to get both SD cards to mount to my computer?
Btw...in the time past I never needed to download drivers or anything.

You are most likely only seeing the external SD card when you mount it to your computer as the Galaxy S 4G does not have an internal 16gigs like the Vibrant. So only the external 16gig is mountable.

[Q] External SD wont mount to computer

As the tittle says, my external SD card will no longer mount to my computer. The internal mounts just fine. I can see the external using a file explorer when USB mass storage isn't connected. I use my external card as a "thumbdrive" constantly and it has always mounted just fine, this just cropped up today.
I am running Bionix2 if that makes a difference.
What can I try to get it mounting properly again?
UPDATE:
I have tried turning on and off USB debugging
I have tried pulling the SD card, booting, turning back off, reinserting the SD card and booting again.
I have tried uninstalling the LG driver from the computer and reinstalling it (ADB)
None of these have worked.
The empty drive shows up in "computer" as a drive, the SD card just never mounts to it. When USB mass storage is ON the SD card definitely unmounts from the phone.
This is very frustrating as I need some files off the card and I don't have access to a micro SD card reader.
UPDATE2:
Got the files I needed by copying them from the external card to the internal card, connecting, mounting and copying them from the internal card to my computer. It is still a PITA though not as urgent as it was.

So last night I pulled the SD card, copied everything off and formatted it on my computer, didn't change a thing. I was then going to reload the ROM I am using. This didn't work as I am running external CWM recovery and it wouldn't mount the SD card either.
As a last effort before trying another card, I formatted (erase=format?) the card through Android. Everything seems to work fine again. I copied everything back to the SD card without an issue. CWM sees it again as well.
What could have caused the card to spontaneously need to be reformatted through Android after working perfectly well for 2 months?

I had the same issue, I think when you install different roms some use different ext for the drives, thats why its critical that after each rom you wipe wipe wipe, and as we know now, lol format sd card

can't write to SD card

now sure what happened but today i can't write to my SD card. I noticed when one of my backup apps tried to do the backup and it failed because it wasn't able to write to the card. I'm running liquid smooth 3.2 and it was working fine that i noticed. i can read and open things on the card but i can't delete, move, or write on the card. any ideas?

You may want to try to unmount and remount your sdcard. You may also want to reboot just to get things to fall back into place. Do you have any apps that automatically mount or unmount the SD card?

tried the restart and even reinstalled the rom with no luck... when i try to unmount sd card it just sits there saying unmounting but nothing happens

tried to just connect to comp for usb storage and seems i can't even do that anymore. maybe the problem is the mounting and unmounting of the sd card now i can't even change to another rom to see if its a rom problem.

Make internal SD act as the external SD

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.
