Yes, open X terminal and run
Code:
cp -r /media/mmc2 /media/mmc1/
This should create folder named mmc2 or your external card with everything copied from internal card. To be sure, check it with
Code:
find /media/mmc1/mmc2
You should see all file names. Also output of
Code:
du -sk /media/mmc2
du -sk /media/mmc1/mmc2
should give similar number. Also after copy, check kernel log via running 'dmesg' to see if there are any i/o errors, this may be sign of data corruption in some files you copied.

After formatting copy it back via
Code:
cp -r /media/mmc1/mmc2/* /media/mmc2/
.
