HI ALL,
I have a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and I lost files (photo, videos, docs...) after a factory reset.
a solution came up in my mind, it's to mount my internal memory to PC as removable disk (like USB disk) and then use the famous "Recover My Files" software.
but I can't because when I plug it to PC here is what I get :
=>Computer
===>local disk (C
===>local disk (D
===>GT-P2600
=====>Tablet (internal memory)
what I want is something like this:
=>Computer
===>local disk (C
===>local disk (D
===>Tablet (G
to apply "Recover My Files" on (G
but I'm open for any different and simpler solution.
Thank you.

I used the link below to flash the internal memory card of Nook Color.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200
I also noticed that when I insert the Micro SD Card into the socket of the "Nook",
some files get automatically created on the card. ".Android_secure", "LOST.DIR", "tmp". In the tmp dir, there is "astro" dir with astro.db file.
Now when the I hook up the "Nook Color" to the PC the drive letters show up as "E:" and "F", but I cannot get into the drive to look at the files in them. When I click on the drive it asks to insert disk
Can someone help?
Thanks
Did you format the card upon insertion? If not try doing it from Recovery. Do you have essential files on it? FAT 32 Format is the preferred option/way.
edit: Disk Management in Windows
Some of these commands below can cause harmful an undesirable functions, leading to the formatting of your hard disk and data loss, while others will not run under Windows XP. As for Windows Vista the Run Tab is not visible in the start up menu. Windows Vista specific command prompts are not included. Start>Run>[type desired command here]
Disk management
* DISKMGMT.MSC: opens disk management utility
* CLEANMGR: opens disk drive clean up utility
* DFRG.MSC: opens disk defragmenter
* CHKDSK: complete analysis of disk partition
* DISKPART: disk partitioning tool
Microsd Card (Nook Color) not recognized by Windows XP after froyo flash
Before I flash everything was "working" fine.
Everything on the "Nook" after the "flash" is working great. I can do a lot thru froyo, but the problem below---->
I "just" cannot access the drives. Internal or external thru my PC
I tried the utilities you mentioned -->DISKMGMT.MSC. I can see the drive "E" and "F" assuming internal and additonal drive in the utility. That wont help since even though everything works perfectly on "Nook", windows XP now is unable to recognize the drives and is asking for "drivers" when I initally hook up the "Nook" thru USB.
Please help
Ok, this might be what you need:
[SCRIPT] Nook Color USB Drivers and ADB Setup (WinXP&7)
First off, I would like to thank you for your efforts in trying to help me.
I installed the ADB drivers quite a few times.
It shows up in device manager as "Android Phone" --> Android Compsite ADB Interface.
But in the "Explorer" when I click on "E" drive that corresponds to the internal memory of Nook Color, it says "Insert Disk into drive E" and now its real slow to respond of the cancel of that message
Please help
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.

So every time I connect my HTC One M8 (Verizon) (S-OFF; running ViperOne 4.6.1 with Sense 7 based on Android 5.0.2) to a PC, Windows pops up and says a drive is unformatted and needs to be formatted before it can be used.
This does not interfere with me copying files to or from its internal storage or the micro SD card.
I opened up Disk Management (Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Computer Management → Disk Management in Windows 7; great resource for anything disk related) and saw that the partition is only 18MB in size.
Is our phone supposed to come with a virtual CD-ROM partition or something to that effect?
Yesterday, I dumped the whole internal memory of my phone into the SD Card by using the command:
#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/dump.img
Next day, when I rebooted the phone, I was greeted with the message "SD Card is damaged. Try reformatting it." When I pressed format, it showed "Erasing SD Card" and after sometime the message appeared again.
So, I brought out the SD Card and put into my computer (by inserting it into a dongle; as I don't have an adapter). Astonishingly, I could read all data of the SD Card, but couldn't write to it. Any file I place there, disappears after refreshing. When I tried to format the card, a window appeared saying "Windows cannot format this device".
So, I googled a bit about these and did the following things:
1. Used a third-party formatting software (SDFormatter by SD Association) : It says that the USB is write protected.
2. Checked the SD card for any physical write protection switch : There was none.
3. Ran the disk management by right clicking "My Computer" > Manage : It gives the same error that the disk cannot be formatted.
3. Tried to delete the volume and create a new simple volume from disk management : The "Delete Volume" button is not clickable
4. Used the diskpart utility to create a new partition by the command "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY" : It does not work. It says that "No usable free extent could be found. It could be that ....." etc.
5. Tried to clear read-only mode by using "attributes disk clear readonly" from diskpart : Even after that the disk is not writable
6. Tried to use chkdsk from command prompt : It gives an error in the middle everytime saying that "/dump.img is a false link" and after that the disk becomes non-readable and chkdsk crashes, saying that the source files could not be read.
So, please help me. The card was not physically damaged in any way, so it must be possible to bring it back to its original state. Any help is appreciated.
Additional information:
My SD Card: Sandisk 16 GB microSDHC
My Phone: Panasonic P55 , Android 4.4.2 Kitkat
My Computer: Windows 7 & PCLinuxOS
Thanks in advance.
Hi everybody,
I have a question about file system on external SD cards for an Android Smartphone. I searched already in the internet for a solution but I did not find anything what helped me.
Basically my problem is simple: I want to copy files from my Windows PC (Windows 7) to the external SD card of my Android Smartphone (Android 5). That is simple: connect the Smartphone with USB cable to the PC, then the Smartphone appears as device in Windows Explorer, so I can easily copy files. But when the files are larger than 4 GB, then it doesn't work, because the SD card is formatted with FAT32 file system, which does not support files > 4 GB. This is clear.
One option is to split large files into smaller files (e.g. using 7-zip), but for several reasons, that is not a usable way and I tried it, it doesn't always really work in a reliable way.
So I would like to copy files > 4 GB to my Smarphone and informed about different file systems and made some experiments (by plugging the SD card into the SD card slot of my Windows PC and formatting it). Here are the results:
- NTFS: Formatted: On Windows, using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Writable on Windows: yes. On the Smartphone: "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system."
- exFAT: Formatted: On Windows, using Windows Explorer. Writable on Windows: yes. On the Smartphone: "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system."
- ext2: Formatted: On Windows, using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Writable on Windows: no. Smartphone: Not tried, because not writable on Windows.
Then I installed an ext2 driver on Windows (Paragon ExtFS), but when I tried to read the SD card in my Smartphone again, it still did not work. It's hopeless. Seems that there is no file system which can easily be read/ written by Windows and Android and doesn't have the 4 GB file size limit.
Does anybody know which file systm is suitable for my needs?
Thanks a lot and with best regards,
Bernd
