put external storage back to external.

I used an app off the play store to change my SD card to be seen by the phone as internal storage. Seemed like a good idea. When I did that many of my apps couldn't seem to find files to open. To try to get things back I reinstalled the ROM. Still has SD mounted as internal. So I used cwm to format everything it could, reinstated the ROM again then removed the SD card before the first boot. Still, the phone sees the external SD as internal storage. It's not the end of the world but it's a pain in the ass. Can anyone help me turn the external SD back to external?:o
 
You have to edit the voldfstab file. You have to switch the sdcards around in the file. It is in system/etc. I can't really explain it much further cuz I have to see the file open in front of me.
