Hi guys,
I have had an Atrix since a few months, and everything has been working fine. However, since the last few days when I connect the phone to my computer over USB, the external 16 Gig SD card shows up as a drive, but when I click on the other drive which is supposed to be the internal SD card, it says "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (D" in Windows.
Phone: Sim-unlocked AT&T Atrix, rooted, Gingerblur 4.5
Computer: Windows 7 (x64) with drivers installed
It has worked many many times in the past, and I haven't made any recent changes to the phone which are related to this in any way.
I have tried:
1. Changing USB connection mode between all 4 options, include USB Mass Storage
2. Restarting the computer
3. Restarting the phone
4. Switching on/off USB Debugging mode
5. Manually unmounting the "Settings" -> "SD card & phone storage settings" -> "Unmount internal phone storage"
6. Reinstalling the drivers - got it from here because the gitbrew link seems down
In fact I am able to view both /sdcard and /sdcard-ext using Root Explorer on the phone, so I don't think the internal memory is corrupt in anyway.
I've searched both xda and atrixforums, but not found a working answer to it.
Any suggestions? This is very frustrating.

Varun
My phone has done this on occasion but a phone reboot fixed it.
Tried many reboots, but not working. Are there any filesystem integrity checks I could do via adb?

This may seem a silly question, but you don't mention doing it. Did you mount the internal sdcard after you unmounted it? Did you unmount while connected to your computer or when not connected?
Were you accessing your internal sdcard with any apps, or did you have it open in root explorer for example when you connected it to your computer? This can mess up the umounting procedure when you plug into USB.
Have you tried on another computer?
I've installed the newest RR rom today and everything worked like a charm but suddenly I realized that my usb storage and external sd aren't mounting correctly. When I try to download something in the browser my phone says you need a usb storage to download stuff. And when I open the gallery it says no external storage available and it closes. When I go to settings > storage and click Mount USB-Storage it starts to mount and then suddenly it disappears. Also it doesn't work to connect my usb storage to my pc.
I tried nearly everything even in recovery mode my phone can't mount the storage or sd card but funny fact: I can access my storage via recovery mode > install zip from sd card > choose zip from internal sdcard and boom everything is there.
WTF is going on!
Does anyone know what is going on and even better how could I solve it?
Thanks and regards Lukas.
I am unable to access/see the internal SD when I plug in to USB and choose USB Mass Storage option. I can access the external SD, but internal now refuses to mount. I rooted for the first time about a month ago and have not had the time to do anything further beyond a Titanium backup. Everything is present and working properly, I can use a file explorer to see the internal memory, but cannot access or manipulate via PC. My Computer presents two drives (internal and Ext SD), but clicking on the one that should be internal gets me the popup "please insert disc into drive..." This did not happen at the same time as root, have been rooted several weeks before problem appeared.
Lately my phone has stopped mounting the SD storage when I reboot. I now have to manually mount the SD card via settings which is a pain as most apps I have moved to this storage and appears disabled unless I mount.
Just to make it clear this is the external micro sd card I'm referring not the USB storage or the internal storage.
Any ideas why this would suddenly be happening? Could my SD Card be slowly dying?
I'm on 4.1.2 for sometime now.
I'm working on a tablet for a friend, running Android 4.1.1, just got it rooted, Link2SD running, SD card properly partitioned. Everything is good... except before installing Link2SD and partitioning the card, when I would connect the tablet to my PC by USB, and turn on USB Storage on the tablet, my PC would mount the tablet's internal storage from /mnt/sdcard and the tablet's micro SD card ... now that I'm using Link2SD when I enable USB Storage, it mounts the regular fat32 portion of the micro SD and the ext2 partition of the micro SD card created for Link2SD. Any idea why this is and how to correct it? I'm hoping there's a system setting somewhere that I can list which locations to share when turning on USB Storage mode on the tablet.
