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"

Hi Loser
You can read HDD USB partitioned NTFS too, read this :

Good luck
I have checked that I have I images on sd using file manager, but it tells me I have no images in gallery.
Previously it showed images in the gallery but now it doesn't.

coonect your phone via usb to pc and then use it as a mass storage . after that unplug the hd2 (safely removing) and see if it is resolved. you can also download media rescan from the market which might help!
Or you can go to settings-->apps-->Gallery or however it is called and clear data. Works for me..
Could some one help me out here? I tried connecting my phone to PC. I was able to access storage, however, I couldn't access " data/media/clockwork" from there since I only seem to have access to my phones sdcard folder.
Next I used root browser to try and move the files to my SD card. Didn't work. It copy and pasted but the file either didn't get copied or its size was 0 bytes. Tried deleting one backup. It says is been successfully deleted but it stays there and no space frees up on my phone. I'm clueless as to what I should be doing next. Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Move or copy the clockworkmod file straight to the sdcard. System and Data files are not viewable on the pc. Just copied a nandroid to the sdcard with Root Explorer, no problem and it shows up when connected to the pc.

You can also delete backups when in CWM itself, in case you didn't know
Thanks for help guys. It was a simple solution, but often the simple things are overlooked. There must have been something wrong with my superuser permission. Restart fixed it.

When i mount my ideos u8800x5 to the computer and try to copy a folder from the computer, i get this error msg "cannot copy search the web :The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk". I have tried another disk but the same error msg. When i use a card reader the sd card is working ok. I have tried formatting the sd using fat 32 , reseting factory setting and erasing the sd card same error. How do i remove the write protection from the phone. My phone is rooted and i am using cm7.

Does any one know of a switch some where on phones sd card? I am sure the problem is within the phone for the same sd card is working okey when i use a different phone to copy from pc. Using a different sd card brings the same error msg. Please help.

hey.. try this..
1) connect your phone to the computer.. unmount sd card.. then remount it again..
if that doesnt work ... you could try this..
use a cardreader
1) copy all your data to pc ...keep it safe
2) Use the windows built-in chkdsk utility.
3)Open up command prompt (start->run->cmd.exe) and type
4)chkdsk /X /F <SD card drive letter>
eg:- chkdsk /X /F D: (d is my sdcard drive)
hope i helped!
Thank you for trying to help. The problem is not with the sd card, the sd card is working fine using card reader. I have tried using the same card with a different phone,and is also working fine. I might have triped a switch within the sd card slot or a program in the phone is preventing writing on the card. I have even tried to reflash the rom with no success. Any other idea?

I have tried both 2 and 3,have not succeeded. I have noticed that when I mount the phone,it mounts as CD drive instead of Removable Disk.
Device type : CD-ROM drives
Manufacturer : standard CD-ROMdrive
Location: on USB Mass Storage Device .
I have installed the (Huawei u8800 ICS ADB & MTP Drivers) . I can synch and copy using phone explorer but not directly to ( drive f: ). I believe if I can be able to format the drive when mounted to PC, my problem will be solved. Any idea how to go about it? Am using window XP and window 7.

you could format it from the phone.. in storage settings.. or you could use a cardreader.. connect to pc..and format it that way.. and cd drive is how the pc would show your phone.. if it isn't in usb storage mode.. so thats normal.. try the two things above.. but backup your data before you do
Then I'm back to square one. I had already tried formatting using factory settings, and phone explorer but the write-protect is still there. I will have to flash back the original rom and return the phone. Thanks for your help.

dude i doubt if its a problem with your phone!.. i think it maybe your sdcard!.. seriously.. did you try a card reader?? try a card reader.. and if you cant format the card then.. then its ur sdcard.. not the phone!
I have restored the original rom B138 which i had bucked up, the write protect error has vanished. When i mount the phone, two drives are detected (sd & internal mem) as removable disk, unlike before only one was detected as CD rom. Every thing is working fine. BUT When i flash back CM7 after full wipe and replacing the image folder, my problem returns. What am i doing wrong?

replacing image folder? means just replacing recovery or are you replacing something else?

Go to following directory via a root explorer app:
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
copy that..
flash cm7 with all three wipes and format,
check for sd card error... if it is still there.. then
Go to
Root/system /bin
Find this file:
Fsck_msdos
Delete & Replace with fsck_msdos from your official B138

No it did not work. I went back to official B138 which i had bucked up, Been using it for the past week with a few force close. I thought of trying
some different roms and flashed this U8800V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTESTC205D001(Esthonia Elisa) . Which WIPED MY IMEI.
IMEI =0
IMEI SV=38
WI-FI MAC address=unavailable.
Now I can't use the phone because of the imei.
I have never bucked up my imei only roms, when i restore the bucked up roms; CM7, Oxygen or the B138 the imei reads 0.
Any help in restoring the imei will be greatly appreciated .

My imei issue has been solved after reading and doing as per this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45618257#post45618257
Now i have the WI-FI MAC address issue ,how to restore the address.
I have noticed the error msg is gone after installing CM10.2 By ilyaaa. The disc is now being recognized as removable not as CD ROM. I can now write on the disk without the error msg,though i haven't figured out why the other ROMs oxygen, miu, and CM7 had issue .
