I'm a Mac guy, and since I got this phone a little more than a week ago, I've been plagued by the fact that I can't mount the SD card on my Macbook. I always get a notification that the drive isn't recognized. However, the virtual cd with the Windows drivers mounts, but not the SD. Does anyone know of a mod that will only mount the SD card, and completely ignore the virtual CD? Better yet, is there a way to completely delete the virtual Cd function? Thanks!

It is not recoginized by my pc or my mac. I can not trnasfer files to it. I have tried using a card reader but there is no sucess. how can i repair it. From the htc i have no problem.
Any idea? do i backup everything on a linux pc and then format it? which format? fat32?
Most likely it's formatted with an EXT filesystem, or another Linux filesystem that the Mac and Windows don't have drivers loaded for.
With a USB cable plugged into your Magic, can Windows access the card through the device by mounting the SD card through USB?
Would be best if you could back up all of the files using Linux and format it FAT32 using Windows.
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks
So, i had a rooted mytouch with a custom rom.. Pretty familiar with the android OS. LOVING my nexus, except for this stupid problem. (its no my SD card btw, works fine in my girlfriends droid)
Anyways, i cannot mount my SD card when i am plugged in my computer... I am out of ideas. Anybody have the same problem?
what happens when you try to mount it? please provide more info!
i have the same problem, the only time where it'll let me mount my SD Card is when i put it in developers mode.
If I recall correctly from the user guide, you have to pull down the notification area on the phone and tell it to connect via USB. After this you should be able to mount the SD card. Again, if I recall right.
I wish i can tell you more but.. thats it.
You connect the phone via USB. Pull down the notification menu and there is NOTHING there. I cant try to mount it, i don't even have the option to mount it.
Should i record a video of it?
It should at least recognize that it is connected through USB, it does not. I put my SD card in another phone, hooked it up via usb, transfered all my stuff, then put the SD card back into my phone and EVERYTHING works, it reads it fine. I just cant mount my card from my notification menu. Its empty.
*edit* I have also installed the latest USB drivers from the SDK update, still cannot mount my SD card... I am starting to think the problem is deeper for some reason.
I think I'm having the same issue as the op. I downloaded the latest driver and the computer recognize my Nexus One, but oddly the drive the SD card is suppose to show up in is saying I have no SD card. Whenever I try to open up the F Drive(Nexus One SD card) it tells me to no media. Not sure if I'm explaining good enough.

are you connecting it directly into the computer? if not try doing so. If you are connecting it to the computer try a different USB port.
Hi
I came from an HTC Hero a while ago and formatted my external sd card recently using the tool that is available in settings for my external 16GB card. But it only sees it as 16mb! Does anyone know how I can partition it? I have a linux machine, if only I could run fdisk on the external card ;-)
Buy a cheap usb reader

really?
Anyone else with an idea?
Figured it out. SD card had partitions that the samsung didn't like.
So I went in with adb shell
su -
busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1
delete all partitions
Then it will format it as it needs to.
If you have a Linux box or even a Linux install disk (you can run it from the disk) then you could just put it inn a USB converter plug it in and use the Linus disk management to do all that for you and even create a new fat32 partition ready formatted. As an aside you can use the same to repair fake USB etc memory. You will only get the true memory of the unit though not the fake advertised one.
I've been digging around but I haven't been able to find an answer: Is it possible to set up some shell scripts to be called before and after the external SD card is mounted and unmounted? I'm playing around with a chrooted Ubuntu install, and I'd like to be able to fire off the Ubuntu init process automatically on boot/whenever the card is remounted and the shutdown process when the card is about to be unmounted for USB Mass Storage use.
Ok, So I used to use a moto G. On that the OTG used to work like the usb on my laptop plug in a Fat32 drive and it'll easily read and write to it no problem.
But I switched to a Moto X Style with marshmallow and when I first connected a Fat32 formatted pendrive it asked me to reformat it to make it work on the phone. Which I did, after that in ES File explorer theres another folder within the root of the USB drive to which I can write but those files cant be seen on my computer or any other computer for that matter, just the phone. Cant even see that folder anywhere else.
??
What the hell is up with the OTG? How can I access my drives without having to format them and retain write capability as well as the ability to read my written files on windows and what not? Its a new phone so I do not want to root it.
Thanks for the help.
You may have messed up somewhere by formatting it into internal storage or something.
Backup all files from the pen and format it in you pc to either fat32 or exfat depending on drive capacity and needs, eject it and plug it into the phone. It should work fine, also always eject drive before disconnecting it from the phone and if your pc says the drive has issues and wants to fix them ignore it.

Well it formatted it as portable storage. I tried reformatting to Fat32 from my computer but the same thing happened it wouldnt open unless I formatted it for the phone. What gives? And yeah I know microsofts error thingy does more harm than good.
UPDATE:
Its working now, reformatted using my windows machine. Was using a mac before but for some reason the phone just doesnt like the way the mac reformats it. However my SanDisk ultra dual usb still wont work. Time to buy a new otg pendrive.
