No longer auto mount SD card - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Dead Internal SD, mounting phone storage to External SD card

So, I bought a vibrant for 30dollars, so now I have two, should've known something was wrong with it. LOL
The Internal SD card is dead, it says Internal SD card broken, or wrong format.. SO i couldn't use the internal or external sd.
So I was messing around, altered the vold.fstab and vold.conf files to get the phone to use the external SD card as the Internal SD card, everything is good but I still have 0.00gb of phone storage so I am unable to install any applications.
Is there any way that I can change the phone storage to the External SD card?
app 2 sd should work .also did you try to format the internal sdcard

[Q] Weird internal storage USB mounting issue

When I connect my Atrix to a PC and put it in USB storage mode, a removable drive comes up for the internal storage but it is not accessible.
The internal storage has however been unmounted in the OS and all the apps on it are inaccessible. If I go to Storage in Settings, I do not see an option to remount it so to remount it I have to reboot.
Any ideas what is causing this issue and how to fix it? My external SD card mounts fine it's just the internal storage that doesn't work....
This is happening to me too ... all of the sudden, BOTH my internal and external SD are not mounted. They do not show up at all in the settings ==> storage menu and are no longer accessible via PC when the phone is hooked up via USB.
When an app tried to access them, the error is "NO SD MOUNTED".
Any ideas ?

Atrix not mounting SD card or internal memory

I am using MIUI v4 2.8.10 and my phone is charging fine (from the laptop and the wall outlet). When I connect it to my laptop it does not mount the SD card (I have a SD card). It does no mount the internal memory neither the SD card.
This is driving me crazy. Any suggestions ?
internal memory and SDcard are visible in Storage settings? if so, try Dual Mount SD.

CM10 SD Card locations

Hey people,
Can someone tell me how to set up my SD card to function with CM10? Which path is the SD Card for internal storage and which one is the external? Also, how can I get it to show up on my pc when I plug the phone in? Right now, it only shows up for the 9gig internal storage partition. Thoughts?

Trouble with SD card

When I try to do things in TWRP it gives me an error that says E:Unable to mount storage. I thought maybe my sd card needs to be reformatted or something, so I went to the system settings once booted and looked under storage. At the bottom "Mount sd card" and Erase SD card are both greyed out and I cant select them. When I connect my phone to my pc it shows only internal storage instead of an internal folder and sd card folder.
All of my data on my sd card still shows up when im on the phone though and I believe all of my data on my sd card is showing up as under internal storage.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on?

I had a similar issue today, my SD card was corrupted, this seems to happen with my SD card and android devices every now and then and I'm not sure why. Putting the SD card in my computer showed most of the files were okay, however, there were some that were messed up. Mine was pretty messed up so it is looking like I'm going to have to reformat it if repairing the corrupted parts doesn't work.
I just found a sd card adapter for my pc and used it. I ran chkdsk on the sd card and it found a ton of errors. If I reformat the sd card; what should I reformat it to? Fat32? That's what it is currently.
Edit-After running chkdsk f: /f on my sd card im able to select the mount and erase options now. It seems to have fixed all my issues.
