Hi Again,

Im on Galaxo 1.6.3.3 and have been facing this strange problem since a couple of days. Whenever I mount my internal 8 GB memory and try to copy files into it, the internal memory card automatically un-mounts by itself after a couple of seconds interrupting the file transfer.

This happens almost all the time.

I don't have any such issues with the external SD card.

What could be problem ?
ANy Help ?

Should reformatting the internal memory help?
Also, If I reformat the internal memory...I dont think the OS should be affected. I suppose the internal memory is just like a movable drive...with no OS files on it.
 
Had the same problem with galaxo and samsung's version of Donut (maybe it's Donut related? :thinking:). I didn't solve it do, instead installed Ubuntu and from there I put my files on internal SD card (windows related maybe? :thinking:). With trial and error (un-mounting) I managed to put files on it. It was weird in Windows, it always un-mounted the internal sd card in matter of seconds, while in Ubuntu didn't so fast.

Now I'm on nightly build of Froyo (from August the third) and I don't have such problems (didn't encounter them yet).

well if it doesn't work there is always the looong way

installing on galaxy a file manager, having a external micro sd card...
copying file on external, and with file manger cutting it in the internal card

I hope it works somehow

EDIT: you can also try this way
pull out usb cable out of you computer, disable usb debugging and enable it again, connect usb cable with PC and try again

Installing recovery 6.1 again killed me ... Wished there was a fool proof way :|
