Unmount internal SD card -Ooops!

Pier · 11-23-2011, 02:05 PM

Hi, I'm here again asking for help. Maybe someday I'll be able to offer some instead of always asking! Here is my situation this time: I accidentally did an "Unmount internal SD card" instead of an external one. I corrected the situation right away (I think) by doint a "Mount internal SD card". Now, my vox works fine but I'm missing files in the internal directory (downloads in particular but others I can't remember). Is there any way to recover the missing files without doing a factory reset and lose everything I installed or downloaded on my vox? Why did the unmount erase files in the first place?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Once you remount it there should be no harm done. Unless you unmounted it while it was doing the download. In that case, it's probably best to re-download the items in question.

Thank you Jeff but I did redownload what I had downloaded after setting up my Vox. the folders that I lost are some that were available from the get go. they were part of the initial setup, the download folder for example is not there anymore.
