i was about too put some of my videos on the tab from my pc so i connected threw usb and it shows a cdrom drive wtf? And the files pop up but it says write protect than everything goes away.
I just tried a extra empty sd card and it does the same thing..
Anyone know whats going on?
all im running is baxbite kernel for the overclock which i been using for the pass week with no problems till today..
I guess no one knows? I looked it up and it seems like its a common problem but i don't see anything about anyone else having this problem with a galaxy tab except me..
Right now im using webhareing too copy my files over wifi from my home network and it works great but not as fast as usb
I just dont get it evertime i connect the tab too my pc it shows a cdrom than the files show up in it but i cant copy stuff over or even delete a file than 30sec later it disappears..
I remember that happening to vibrant phones. The external sd card wasn't mounted properly so the computer saw it as a cd drive.
What is your computer set up? A windows 7 pc installs the correct driver files. A windows xp pc needs you to get the drivers and install them. I pray for people with mac's.
Just search the general section for "windows xp usb drivers". You don't need to install samsung kies.

I was wondering if anyone has this problem. A few days ago when I mounted my SD card in usb file transfer mode. I got an errors from Windows saying it detected errors on my drive and i have the option of continue or scan & fix. When I hit continue it seems to work. However, when I hit Scan and Fix, my computer gets blue screened. I tried on another computer and the same thing happened. Any ideas? Not really an issue but more of an annoyance.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

Does it on mine to.
You will need to put the SD card into a standard reader and run scan and fix with it. The HTC Hardware i think causes the issue.
Also, to avoid it from happening in the future use the "Safely Remove" stuff and Unmount the card.
Hello! (first post , have been reading for a while though)
I can't connect the phone to my PC (win7 64bit), not as a mass storage device or with Kies (it worked fine before with my home PC and an XP machine at work).
It stopped working after the PC said "Device drivers installed properly" (or something like that) when I connected it, after that I have'nt been able to make it work as mass storage device on any computer..
Very strange and very annoying!
I'm thinking I might factory reset the phone (would very anti-nice though to loose all apps and stuff), so I thought I'd ask here first if there are any possible solutions..
Thx!
if you open device manager in Win7 x64 do you see it listed as GT-I9000 in Portable Devices ?
that's what it shows in mine, and i'm on x64 Win7
it automatically opens in Mass Storage also works in Kies
WEE!! Got it to work just now!!
Rebooted the phone (as I do every day) and connected it to charge over night, and windows popped up with the "installing device driver blabla dialogue" and suddenly it works!?!
This after not working for at least a week on any computer...
I have no idea what might have caused it, but I'm just happy it works again
Still, very strange...
It shows up in the device manager now, it did'nt before.. Thx for the reply!
On Win XP
is there a certain driver i have to download before using USB Mass Storage option.
all i get are two removable drives icon. but they can't be opened
you should only have 1 removeable device icon, 2 if you have a micro SD card inserted.
if you configure the phone to ask you what to do with the usb during connection, then you can select Kies or Mass Storage
regardless both works fine
i do have two removable drives because of the addition of the sd card
its set on Mass Storage. but it still won't open. im not sure if Windows installed it properly though
the driver details:
driver files- system32\drivers\USBSTOR.sys
does it shows in device manager, as mentioned above ?

After connecting the phone via USB, did tell the phone to Mount the drives?
anyone else encountered this issue?
Is anyone else having trouble connecting their Galaxy to a PC? I don't know whether mine is faulty or not. Downloaded the Samsung Kies software but when I plug in the Galaxy Windows is unable to find a MTP USB device driver and the phone refuses to connect. This happens Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Also the Galaxy has a complete fit and keeps flashing between the home screen and MTP application screen while it's connected (wxw.youtube.com/watch?v=R9hdpJPCP-k). And I don't get the usual Android option to mount for file transfer. Am I missing something?

finally managed to fix tis stupid kies connection problem...if anyone encountering the same issue jus do a factory restore n format ur internal sd card
I'm with the DHD for a day and this is so far my only problem...
When I connect the phone using the option, Disk drive (like a usb pen in the PC), when I transfer several files to the disk drive, after some time (most of the times under a minute) the usb disk drive disconnects from the PC because the sdcard is also unmounted from the phone...
Then the only way for the sdcard to reappear on the phone is to restart the phone or to reinsert it on the phone...
I'm with the last firmware (updated yesterday). I only notice this problem today. I left the original cable at home, but I'm using an original cable from nokia (a very small length one). I also used it with a nokia E72 and a Sony X10i and never got any problems...
I'm not detecting any problems with the microsdcard "inside" the phone (I mean on a OS level). It's the same that I used for more that 1 year on my old phone, an Touch HD...
For the matter, I unticked the USB debugging option... and still the same.
Any one as an idea?!? Bug? Bad settings?
i also had probs even getting the phone to link to my win7 x64 system.. after many many reinstalls of software and restarts of phone i was getting sooo wound up with it!!.. i was ready to give up.. i then started messing with my phone settings and disabled the fast boot and restarted the phone normally.. it instanly saw my phone and linked perfectly, ive transfered hundreds of photos onto it and loads of music.. not sure if the fast boot bypasses some non essential programs to enable it to boot so fast.. try disabling fast boot and leave usb debugging enabled (thats what i am using and it seems fine for me).. let me know if this sorts the problem thanks
For the matter, two days ago I tried on my home computer, another hardware system, but with Win7 x64...
I copied files from my computer to the phone and reversed and no problems.... maybe some bad driver installation...
Nevertheless I'm going to try to disable that option and try again...
Oh, by the way,
I'm almost sure that at home when I choosed the option HTC Sync, the sdcard also appeared in my computer...
Here at work it doesn't appear...
Is this right?!?
Ok, I think I found what was the problem...
Some days ago I tried to move all my files from the sdcard to format it due the jerky video problem (to have the sdcard with a 32k cluster). I tried to format also to be sure that this problem would be gone...
To copy/move the files I removed the sdcard to the PC.
I found out that in some files the move/copy process hang out. I couldn't copy/move or deleted those files. I then skipped those files, still there was some files, and eventually I got most things backup to my PC. The strange thing is that not even running several time the chkdsk command it was able to fix the errors of those files.
Then I formatted the sdcard and moved again all my files to it.
I guess I fixed this problem. I still didn't copy/move files using "Connect to a PC as disk drive" although...
OK, to get to this message, I had to read a warning about getting banned if not a developer thread.
Well, this is. Sort of.
I posted a question in the general forum and commented on the same subject in the Q&A forum. I think I know my answer but I would like to know why this problem exists.
I just got my tablet Friday evening. I figured it all out and was able to use external storage on drives and USB sticks. When I try to connect my phone as a disk drive, no files.
I am assuming that access to these files is for lack of root access, which I am not going to get because I immediately let it update to 3.2.
So, could someone tell me if lack of root is the answer and why? The phone does instantly show up as a disk drive on XP and Windows 7.
Thanks, and moderators, please don't kick me out.
Did you try mounting your phone, if you can? And yes root it would be easier with the usb mount app, or just use an app like es file explorer that can go into the root section without root then go to mnt and in one of those files should be your phone files, because i have an env touch and i use usb mass storage and it shows up on my iconia
Thanks. Yes, I did see the folder MNT but it did not show up. Using my usual file explorers, I can see the internal storage and the SD card. The next entry is the USB STORAGE where I find no files when the phone is connected.
If I connect an external drive or usb memory device, I can access all the files. When I connect the phone as a drive I see that nothing is there.
When I connect these same devices to my home pc running Win 7 and laptop with XP, they all connect the same way.
There is something in the OS that is not letting my tablet file system see my phone file system.
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep my eye on this thread.
I'm having the same problem, i can import photos or videos from the phone when the phone is on mtp mode (media transfer protocol) but when in file transfer mode (msc) nothing shows up in the mnt folder or in drive mount app. i'm running taboonay 2.2 with villain kernel. It works fine with external hdd ntfs or fat. When connecting the phone to my computer i had to install a driver from windows update and it shows as an xperia arc, do i also need a driver in my tablet? Has anyone already connected and android phone to an android tablet in mass storage mode?

Not sure Root has anything to do with it. I'm rooted on both phone and tab , and have no access to the files on my phone. When in "disk drive" mode, all it does is "charge".
yeah ever since 4.2 you all know that everytime you wipe it gets the old sdcard memory to a new /0/ location well I moved it back to the root and all works fine but my windows computer doesnt see the change when I connect it with usb so I can't access my files from my computer.... know of a fix? thanks
