I hate to start a "OMG ITS NOT WORKING" Thread. But im just plain stuck.
Im trying to get to my sd card on my computer, to switch to my 4gb and to get the update.zip on it so i can root. But no matter what i do, it wont mount. My computer complains that the "USB Device not recognized" and loads a bogus driver. Ive been trying to get it figured out but nothing so far.
Anyone else have this problem? Any one know how to fix it?
hope this helps

No help :O( i dont get whats wrong.
what happens when you plug in the usb cord? Are any external drives shown on your computers file/drive viewer (my computer, etc)? If so can you open those drives, if not what does it say?
the way it should work is.
-DL the drivers here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7218057
-install the drivers on your PC
-hookup phone to PC via the provided usb cable
-on the phone drop down the notification bar and MOUNT the SD card.
-open My Computer or other file viewer
-see two external drives one the internal with about 13GB of total space and one the SD card with 2GB of total space
-add remove files from cards
I did all that. When i plug it in, my computer says "the usb device is not recognized" and proceeds to load a bogus driver. Ive installed the debugging driver, nothing. nothing shows up in my computer for the sd card, OR the phones own flash memory.
I have 3 separate android phones, never had this problem before.
try connecting the phone to your pc again. Make sure that on your phone, that youre using the mass-storage option. Next look at the top of your phone, and pull down the header bar. and click on the "usb connected" option or whatever it says, and then choose "mount" when it pops up.
That's how your actually turn on the mass-storage. dont know why its like this, thought it would be automatically done after chosing the mass-storage option.
I am having the same issue. Installed drivers but can't access the drives.
It does automatically set it self for mass storage, but the computer for some reason isnt seeing it. im pretty sure its a driver issue. or the usb port on the phone maybe bad... that would be annoying.

I don't understand why this is so difficult?
I have installed the latest eclair pc suite, the driver, and nero and still no dice..
wtf?
I have searched and am not coming up with a resolution..
lil help?
As it stands the device does not show up in the pc explorer. i do see android phone listed in the device manager and there aree no conflicts.
the little pc suite tray icon shows a red x through it "Disconnected" and i have never got that to actually show my phone.
nor has the mem card showed in the explorer..
Your phone, when connected, should have a icon in the top bar that says usb connect or something like that. Click that, then you will go to a screen that says "turn on USB storage". Turn it on. Your SD card will show up on your computer.
I've done that and it doesnt work it just says its now safe to remove the sd card..lol
ofcourse thats not what i want to do..
im on windows vista btw..

I'm on vista with no probs
when its says safe to remove card thats usualy when you have gone into settings/sdcard & chosen unmount SD card.
when I connect phone to usb I get icon in top bar saying USB connected select to copy files to/from your computer, click it then choose mount on the pop up dialog box
Yes. I'm doing exactly as you said..but it just un mounts the card...

Hey all,
I have downloaded the Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my Fascinate. Installed them...but when i go to mount my SD card I can see it in Windows Explorer but it says CD drive F: Verizon Mobile. I cannot see anything on my SD card at all. How can I get this mounted. I am rooted and I have USB debugging on. Any other ideas on how to get this to work.
Pull down the notification bar at the top of the phone. Press mount sd card. Your problem mabe deeper than this but I just thought best to start simple. If u still can't get it we need more info like is it DI01,DJ05, or DL09

No, I cannot mount that way. I am on dl09. Very frustrating.

I had the same issue. I flashed Adrynalyne's latest voodoo kernel 01/21 low voltage and it seemed fixed it for me. I'm running DL09 supah clean 04 also.
See here and go to Test 4 this maybe your issue.

This is the official response from Samsung:
"There is no SD card mount issue on Windows OS. After user connects USB cable, Windows OS will recognize the device as CD-Rom, and the ToolLauncher_Bootstrap.exe will be running by autorun function. (WinXP only, Win 7 user should run ToolLauncher_Bootstrap.exe by himself ). At this point either user can ignore the installation of TL and use mass storage directly, or wait 30 secs timeout and the device will be changed to mass storage.
Another option is that user can change the settings -> USB setting to 'Ask on connection' from mass storage(default). It will allow user to go to mass storage directly by selecting mass storage.
But The mass storage is not working on MAC OS from previous version, and We have a fix for that in FROYO release."
Hope this helps.
I have the same issue when using certain kernels not sure if it is in the kernel or not. the only way i am able to mount the sd or use pda net is to plug the phone into the comp and reboot the phone after the phone reboots the comp recognizes it. I know this is not a fix but it does work everytime and the phone is recognized until the next time i reboot my phone without it being plugged into comp. This is a temp fix until you can find a better fix.
Recently, I installed a theme incorrectly which lead me to factory reset my phone. I am currently trying to install dl09 but I can't seem to get into my SD card from my computer. When I plug the usb into my computer + phone, it pops up a window "CD Drive (F Verizon Mobile" instead of the usual pop up for my SD card. In the folder there are files to install Samsung usb drives but I don't need them so I just click exit. I'm assuming this is getting in the way of getting to my SD card and even though I install the drivers using Verizon's files, it keeps giving me the popup. How can I solve this issue? Thanks in advance.
Try rebooting the phone while its plugged into the pc, that usually works

With DL09, that would happen to me, but all I had to do was wait a minute or so and the CD-ROM device would unmount and then the standard USB Mass Storage device would mount and the USB would kick in on the phone. No, really, that's not a joke
I also found that with both DL09 and the leaked Froyo, setting the phone USB to Ask on Connection worked better than arbitrarily setting Mass Storage for some reason.
My phone has started doing this after installing DL30, but I found that if you right click on the cd drive and click eject, your phone will then display the mass storage pop up and you can mount the sd card as usual.

Tried rebooting while phone was plugged in, no luck.
Waited when phone was plugged in, popup did not disappear.
Right clicked and ejected the F:\, still no luck.
Have you tried enabling USB debugging under Applications->Development? This fixes the issue for me on DL30.
When I plug my phone in my computer sees the phone and names a removable drive for it, but when I click it it says please insert? So its not recognizing the phone. Im running the latest moto drivers. I don't know whats going on.
I'm rooted and running CM7 the latest build. Also Ive tried in on 2 different computers both with the moto drivers and the same thing happens.
If your in USB Storage mode you shouldn't have problems. Sounds like it just didnt read it try again. If it fails again, it could be the USB cord or the SD card.

Is there a setting I can check to force it into that maybe it got inadvertently changed. Because no matter what I do its not working. Card should be ok too it lets me save things to it from the phone
Do you have USB Debugging enabled?
To check what USB mode you're in, pull down the notifications bar, tap USB connection, and make sure you're in USB Mass Storage mode. To check to see if you are in USB Debugging mode, go to applications, development, and select USB debugging
I am running CM10.1 from a mSD card. When I connect my NC to my computer via USB cable it isn't recognized. The NC is recognized with the mSD card out of the NC and booted into the NC's OS. Computer OS is Linux. I ran fdisk -l just to check and card in it is not seen. Is the NC recognized only with no card in or what. The CM10 was unlocked. I wanted to transfer some book files over. Will I have to pull the card and plug it into my computer?
Try going into settings > storage > USB computer connection and make sure that your device isn't showing up as a Media Device (MTP).
In other words, ensure that your device is being mounted as a Mass storage device.

Thank you for the answer but I suspect that was a Windows answer not a Linux answer but it gives me a place to start looking. I'll try running running "lsusb" again.

I meant to try inspecting the settings on your nook. Mass storage devices should appear irrespective of the computer platform. I've used my NC as a usb volume to move files to-and-from linux devices before.
Since you mention that the computer can see your NC as a storage device but not the SD card, it may be an issue with a setting on the NC (not the computer). Or not! One thing about linux is that there is quite a bit of variability between different users' setups.

Thanks for your patience. I do not show a USB computer connection in storage. What I did notice though maybe not related is that Unmount SD card and Erase SD card are grayed out when the USB cable is plugged in.
There should be a menu icon - 3 dots in the upper right in settings>storage

That did it thank you. It was set on MTP and I moved it to mass storage.
