I've used my external sc-card as internal storage. My phone had a software crash and i had to hard-reset it. After re-installing the system-image, it doesn't grant me access to the external card. It's just asking if i want to ise it as internal or external storage... Is there a way to access my data? please help

Hi everyone,
My Galaxy Ace Plus is my first Android phone, and since I bought it several months ago I was confused because I found 3 memory locations on my device: the Internal Storage, USB Storage, and the External Memory card that I added.
I can't really understand what the USB Storage is?
In fact I made a factory reset few days ago as the device was freezing a lot, and it asked me whether I want to format the USB storage or not, stating that if I chose to format it I will lose all my music and pictures and other files. So I became more confused because all my media files, ebooks, etc. are placed in the External Memory card! so why it would consume space of both storage locations!!
can anyone explain that please?
Also what will I lose if I formated the USB Storage only? would it improve the device performance anyway?
Thanks!

Internal storage , Usb storage & SD storage
internal storage is the one reserved for system, i.e 1.5 GB on Note, or in another words it is the flash memory of the device. It stores the components of ROM or the ANDROID OS. Applications get installed on this memory.
USB storage is the rest of the original storage on Note (i.e around 9.5 GB). In common language an Internal Memory where all your files are saved by default. This memory is used by most of the applications for storage of their data.
Most of the move2sd apps move apps from internal to SD Storage which means the USB Storage.
external SD Card storage, on the other hand, is the storage which relies on another SD Card put into the phone, e.g....external SD Card.
That's before you put external SD card..
If you put another SD Card in the phone, it will read as external SD Card. In the file system, it is known as external_sd.
Now, the answer to your next question.. Formatting the USB Storage of the phone is simply formatting your internal memory. It has nothing to do with PERFORMANCE. it just makes space available on your device's internal memory. :good:
Thanks a lot!

I am using DirectoryBind - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
DirectoryBind just creates the simlink that poins from intrenal SD directory to extSD.
Gama data are sometimes very huge, so it's good idea to move them to extSD (and simlink them with DirectoryBind to maintain functionality of those games).
You need ROOT to use DirectoryBind.
Hi. I'm using my SD Card formatted as internal storage and yesterday my phone stop detect it I try to romove and put again, restart phone and it's not work. I have important data on this card, so anyone knows how can I extract them? External reader or something? Please help.
On windows, use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
It'll work when I formatted card as a internal storage (when you insert a SD card for the first time on a Marshmallow device, you can choose to either use the card as Portable Storage or Internal Storage)? That's main problem... And if yes, how can connect this card to PC when my phone didn't recognize the card?

I have the same problem. Data on sd memory (the partition) seems to be almost delete, but system reconize is empty.
the sd is mounted as internal storage so i can't read on pc.
Any idea for recover data or make a image mirror of the memory to intend recovery?
Perhaps in linux is possible?
please help!!
My phone is always out of storage space, and whenever I try to migrate my data to my sd card, my internal storage becomes even fuller. I installed a custom rom today, and formatted the sd card as internal storage again and copied some music to it, but it went to the internal storage instead. Help
What are the exact specs of the SD card?
