First, sorry for the length of this, I wanted to be very clear about my problem and the solutions I had already tried. Important bits are bolded.

I'm currently running Deeperblue's Honeycomb v4, booting from the SD card. The install went fine, I already had SDK and adb going on my computer for my other devices and am familiar with how to use them so that wasn't a problem, and I'm have no trouble with flash, apps access etc. I also dual boot to Linux on my computer so accessing my Nook's storage via USB is not an issue.

My problem is that Honeycomb simply does not see the internal storage on my Nook. This is a big problem, though, because that's where all of my media is stored for obvious reasons (You know, the part where I have to take the SD card out in order to boot the stock Nook OS).

After searching around the internet for several hours and finding no one else with this problem, I'm guessing that it was something I did in command prompt unintentionally, or else this is simply a known defect with the version of Honeycomb I'm running and I wasn't aware of it. I do see the media folder in my file manager; however, it is empty.

I've check the contents of every single folder at this point. I tried several file manager apps just to be sure, as well as rebooting and unmounting and remounting the SD card.

I know that it is possible for Android booted from the SD card to access internally stored files, as I did not have this problem with CM7 (though I had to get rid of CM7 for other reasons, mainly the lag).

Can anyone point me toward a solution to this problem? Perhaps there is a string of code I can put into command prompt via adb to "mount" the internal storage to the media folder? If this is a known bug, can someone suggest an alternate SD-bootable version of Honeycomb?

Honeycomb is NOT a full OS yet, as google hasn't dropped the code, and what we've got is pretty good considering it.

CM7 has written into the code to see the internal memory when running off the SD card, Honeycomb hasn't, with DB's version i had issues seeing my SD card when running it off eMMC.

Keep that in mind when using HC it's a full release.

I highly doubt that any of the versions of HC out there will see the internal memory. If i'm wrong and you find a solution let us know.

Try posting on the XDA site and see if they might have an answer.


here's the latest SD version of HC out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074471

I have said this multiple times before do not use honeycomb. It is not built from the official source code it was built from a early developers preview. Therefore it has many issues and there isn't anything anyone can do because they don't have the source code. Google will most likely never release the source code. I recommend CM7 as it is the most stable and usable of all the different nook color after market OS.
