Root Reboot Recovery -\sdcard shows as phone

[adwiz]

New to forum - Wh'sup? I am trying to root a Samsung i847 Rugby Smart but in recovery reboot from Windows command prompt, after choosing "apply update from sdcard" it shows the \sdcard directory as the phone's storage - you see the main directory stuff under \sdcard. (And when I chose external_sd the directory is empty.) I have booted without sdcard inserted, recovery booted without sdcard - trying to get the os to see the sdcard...or to stop seeing the phone storage as \sdcard.
I'm at a loss. Any assistance would be great. (I hope I am doing something stupid > simple!)

New and yes and yes.

This type issue doesn't seem as it would be a Rugby issue...more so a Gingerbread/Android/Samsung-in-general issue. But you know better and me.

lol you could have just hit the edit button.....lol

edit: well since it is on your rugby i think that this place is more appropriate. and since the phone is rooted it makes sense to have it in the root forum.......not sure if this is really a samsung issue.

Phone storage is the internal SD card. I don't recall the stock recovery being able to access the external SD but I haven't played with stock recovery in ages either.

I thought you might say that so I tried this morning. The backup must of not been done properly on my part as it does not work.
