[AC Question]

Trying to resolve issues on an XBMC/Kodi Android box friend has purchased. Cannot install anything onto it as it says SD card needed. Supposed to be 1Gb on board and over 512k shown as free in support menu in storage.

No SD Card mounted
No USB mounted

Any help appreciated.

"No USB mounted"? It sounds like a defective device.
