Sorry if this has been posted before, i did have a quick look around and found nothing!
Anyways, i just got my HTC Wildfire! Happy with it, but so far i have a slight problem! When i connect my phone to PC, the Pc recognizes it as "portable hard drive" which has been similar to most other HTC phones i have had in the past!
Now when i try to open the "Removable Disk D" as my pc named it, the PC belives it's a Disc Drive for some strange reason. Also i have right clicked and opend the folder as a portable device but when i try to transfer my music into this window it tells me "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" which it hasn't!!
Very confusing as i've never had or heard of this problem in the past!
Can anyone offer some advice?!
Try formatting your SD card in the Settings >> Sd Storage menu.
remove the sd card and try placing it into your computer. See if reads it. You may need an sd card adapter. If this works then try it from your phone again, try switching to charge only mode then to mount/removable drive. Also try a different usb port on your computer, see if that helps, good luck...

Hello, i had the same problem. go to settings-applications-development-then tick usb debugging and your sorted also make sure you select allow third party apps.
hello guys!
my problem is popular on google but i don't see any one with my problems.
Anyway, i used my usb to connect and transfer some pics and some music.
Everything was OK until i unplugged my usb. PROBABLY WITHOUT UNMNOUNTING (on my mac). The message on my x10 is like this "preparing sd card. checking for errors"
I have tried to fix the problem by recovering the phone to fabric mode (?).
Anyway i just want to know how to fix this and i have tried a different card into my phone so there is no problems with the phone.
My comp doesn't recognize my x10 anymore. This is really frustrating and i can't use the sd card in the phone because it just restarts itself.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.
how to formate the card if my comp wont read it?
i have no adapter or anything else, except my x10...
The card works in other phones and i have tried micro sd 2gb in my x10 and it works...
PLEASE HELP

Use one of them to format it.
I actually have a similar issue. When connecting the phone to a mac via usb, upon dissconnecting the card becomes unreadable. I used an adapter to reformat the card to get it working again. I am no longer connecting via usb with my mac. Connecting from Bluetooth doesn't cause this problem. Best bet is to borrow/buy an adapter to reformat. Try not to connect to mac via usb as the card almost always becomes corrupt upon disconnection.

I have been searching the internet for 2 full days trying to figure out why my new pc wont recognize my sd card when i plug it in.
finally, I stumbled across a fix posted for a similar problem with another USB thumb drive, and it worked perfectly!
I hope this helps anyone like me that was ready to rip their hair out.
For the USB thumb drive, try the following:
"Run "regedit" and select the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/MountedDevices" folder. See all the "Dos Devices" listed? You'll have one entry for each physically mounted drive (HDD or Disc) plus you'll have one show up for each USB drive you attempt to insert. Double click each device listed and see if you see text saying something like "U.S.B.S.T.O.R...". Once you find that device, right click it and select "Rename". Now change the drive letter to something unused... like Q: or something. Close regedit, disconnect the USB device and reconnect again.
If all went well, you should be able to see your new drive when you plug it in. I recently had a conflict with my Sandisk 5-in-1 reader and my PNY thumb drive. I forced my PNY to be the N: drive and the Sandisk to be the M: drive, that solved the problem. Unfortunately, I can't get this darn USB-IDE to resolve it's conflict."
Good luck!
So I noticed that my sd card didn't want to show up on my PC. Or one of them at least. It turned out that the one I could see on my PC was the emmc card, and not the external. It wasn't too big a deal really. As I was fooling around, I installed a new driver (as part of installing theADB/SDK stuff) and then all of a sudden, the cards were reversed. I could see my external card, but not the emmc card. At one point, I swear i could access both cards on my PC. What can I do to remedy this situation so I can access both cards?

Tell us more. What version of software are you running? Stock, CM7, CM9, CM10 or something else? What version of software on PC? Windows, Linux, Mac? Do two drives show up but only one displays anything? Or just one drive? Are they drive letters or under other devices? And you are talking about plugging the USB cable in, not putting chip in card reader?
Thanks. Sorry for the lack of info. I am running CM7.2, and looking for the sd cards through windows 7. Honestly, I am not sure I have this same problem on my home laptop, but definately on my work laptop. Both drives show up, usually as E: and F:, but when I click one of them, it says "please insert disk into removeable disk f:"
Does that help?

Yes that helps. The problem is you are not activating the USB connection. You need to pull up the notification area and you will see a selection for turning on computer access. Until you do that the drives are not active on the PC.
Another way to do it is to use the app NookColorUMS. You can get it on my tips thread linked in my signature. See item B7 in my second post of that thread. That app lets you select whatever partition you want to populate the drives on the PC.
I've been trying to transfer files to my external sd card with es explorer over wifi and also with usb from my pc. Every time the screen goes off I lose the connection and the transfer stalls and won't resume.
The card was formatted on the tablet, and is exfat. Windows doesn't recognize it and says it can't format it.
Any ideas?

More info would help us to help you.
What kind of pc, what OS, what adapter are you using for computer, what brand sd card, how big are the files, are you doing other tasks on the computer when transfering the files and have you tried reformatting on your tablet.

Except for small files, I don't use ESFile Manager to transfer them, and for me it's just as easy to pop the MicroSD card out of the tablet and put it in a fast USB 3.0 card reader than connecting the tablet to my PC with its data cable at USB 2.0 speeds. I don't do this for my Note phone because I'd have to take my multi-layer Seidio case and and back cover off to access the MicroSD card, but with the tablet the card is more easily accessible.

How is your microSD formatted? NTFS or exFAT?
I am using windows XP, standard USB cables (that came with the device), large files (movies, tv shows) of over 10gigs some of them.
it may be something as simple as my usb port on the laptop, just wondering more about transfers stopping when the tablet goes to sleep?
air droid seems pretty neat, but 100mb limit per month?
You guys should check out Samsung Link. It allows you to access/transfer/stream content from any device it's running on from any Wi-Fi network. It also works over 3/4G.
Oh yeah, it's a 64gb adata micro sd

Windows XP will not support EX-FAT unless you have update (WindowsXP-KB955704-x86-ENU.exe) found here. 3.2 mb download http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19364 For 32 bit.

It's a Samsung 64GB SDXC card formatted exFAT. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a i7 based PC I just custom built, so it's USB 3.0 and very fast. I came from an old dual core Windows XP desktop PC (that I also built), so I know what you're feeling. Previously I would just sync or copy stuff over WiFi all the time without really noticing much of a speed difference over directly connecting my tablet/phone to my PC via a cable. But now whenever I can use my USB 3.0 card reader I do it because it's night and day different in terms of speed.
i reformatted it with windows, files are tranferring at ~13MB/s over USB2.0. Painful yes, but at lerast they are copying
i have yet to see if it works in the tablet after things are copied over. definitely easy to manage from within windows with teracopy pro, but would be nice if i could use es explorer over wifi on my home network and let the copies go overnight without waking up to failed transfers because the device went to sleep during the transfer....
.... Aaand now the tablet won't recognize the card. Should have formatted with the device, not the computer

thank you for the link.....XP recognized the card after installing the driver
i then formatted it exFAT and then i went ahead and copied over a couple 8 or 10gb files and a bunch of 1.5gb files. suddenly windows said the write delay failed and now i cant see the card in windows or the tablet.
this is getting off topic, but how do i now get anything to recognize the card? this is frustrating!

XP can return that error when moving large files esp. when you have write caching enabled. You could turn that off but it slows down you file cache.
I have also had errors in Windows 7 when moving to many large files at one time. I think the chip over heats as mine does get hot some times when I transfer large files in computer with adapter.
Can you see it in in windows - control panel/administrative tools/computer management/storage/
disk management.

It shows up as disk 1 no media.
No partitions are visible and I cannot format or anything. Perhaps i wrecked the card?

HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - Format USB drives is my goto tool for a problem like this, but be very careful and make sure you selected the correct drive when and if you format. I have enclosed the tool, you can research it on the web if you like, search youtube.

Thanks for all your help today. I'll give it a go. If nothing else I'll just buy a new card. I'm off to Hawaii on Friday and I was hoping to have the card loaded up with media and ready to go by then.
