Need more information to help you. What OS is your PC running? What version of honeycomb are you using?

I am running the latest version of MIUI and have an unused stock sdcard that came with the phone. It had a few backups which I copied to my new sdcard, but otherwise I didn't need anything that was on it, so I formatted it. Now it will not allow me to mount the sdcard because it is not set up correctly, how could I set it up?
What did you format it as? NTFS? FAT32? EXT-2/3/4? Need more info. Ensure you format it as FAT32 and you should be fine; it has the best compatibility between ROMs and PCs.
I haven't been able to format it at all.

You might consider connecting it to your PC using a card reader. From your PC you should be able to format it as FAT32. If you are on Windows, you can do this through Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Disk Management. In fact, sometimes Windows will just pop up and ask you if you want to format right when you plug it in.

How do I connect one and view it the tablet?

You must use a FAT32 formatted drive.
If there are pictures, music and videos on there, the appropriate applications will find them.
To browse, use a file manager. I personally like Dual File Manager.
Thanks but where would I go to locate the USB

If you use Dual File Manager it will see /mnt/sdcard as your default directory. Hit the Android Back Button once and down at the bottom you should see "usb_storage"

I was interested in transfering files from my hone (Nexus s 4g) and my A500. I wanted to know if this is possible by simply plugging the phone into the tablet's usb port. If not, is there any drivers or apps i can download to let me do so? Basically, i want it to be like when i plug it into my computer. I want it to show up like a hard drive.
Also, i have a external harddrive and had a question on how to format it. When i right click hit format is comes up as NTFS being the default file system. The onl y other option is exFat. Is that the same as Fat32? I've heard Fat32 is the only file system that works.
Thanks for the help!

Is it possible to reformat the usb storage/sdcard on the KF and what would be the best way to do it? Reason I ask is yesterday I repartitioned my KF using GNU parted so I can get more media/internal storage. After saving my handy work, I got the "msftres" flag and now when I plug the KF onto my Pc, it shows up empty like there are no files saved onto it, but when I navigate with root explorer, the sdcard/internal storage is populated. It doesn't even give me the prompt to mount usb storage when I plug in the usb cord. Thx in advance for the help.
Update: the issue was with automount, plugged into different usb port and reinstalled drivers and now it works. Thx for the help

Yes it is. If you are on windows mount the usb drive then go my computer and right click over the KF hdd and choose format.
I recommend Fat32
Hope this helps

Will this have adverse effects other than just wiping the info that's on the internal storage and then making the internal storgae reading as fat32?

You can also just delete any folder or file that you don't want on there if you mount the storage.

I rooted my N10, then installed some Apps for OTC Mass Storage detection. These Apps are detecting and mounting the USB drive.
With an explorer i can copy files form the N10 to the USB stick, but i cannot see these files on my Windows PC.
And when I copy from my Windows PC I cannot see these files on my Nexus.
Does somebody know what's the problem here?
Thanks!
Strange. Are you using Stickmount with ES File Explorer?
Just flash Craiggomez's ROM and you'll have native USB support. It's so much easier.

Exactly, I am using these two Apps....
My Windows is also not mounting the N10 storage via USB... kind of weird...

It works good. But I cannot copy files onto the usb storage.
Is your N10 storage recognized by Windows when connected to the USB?
