ya it was mounted and im rooted.. its fixed now i just took out my battery for about 15 minutes and it was fine.. its done this before a few times so any idea why that happens?

It's happened to me before. What you did usually fixes it. I don't know why but I know it happened on some ROMs and not others. What ROM are you running?

If you are running a2sd with a class ten card your problem could be with that setup. Higher class cards on our aging phones for some reason don't mount properly all the time. This of course is just speculation, but class 10 cards seem to have problems in this forums history. I run a class 4 32 gb card and never have had a problem with it, in fact I have had great success with it.
