Hi,
I have my P3600 with a 4GB internal MiniSD.
There is a nice freeware utility that let's transform the mobile phone into a USB pen. Once connected to the PC it will be recognized as a USB pen, and the PC will directly access the SD. All the functions of the P3600 are blocked and it is not recognized by the Activesync until the utility is active. The utility is WM5Storage by Igor Bozhko (Freeware).
I tried it on my P3600 and all worked fine selecting DSK1 (the SD memory card) and all my SD data could be accessed and backed up.
On the WM5Storage options I can map what device storage area will be seen by the PC:
- FLASHDIR / Microsoft Flash Disk
- EXT_FLASH
- DSK1: SD Memory Card
I tried to select the "Microsoft Flash Disk" and EXT_FLASH in order to do a Full Backup of all my the mobile windows applications and settings directly from the PC.
Unfortunately it didn't work! I get an error message (unknow file system) on the PC telling the disk is not formatted, "...do you want to format?"
- What file system is used on the Windows Mobile ?
- Is there any way to map it as a disk and see it in XP ?
Regards

Internal Storage disappears when you connect USB
Hi
When you connect USB, you get two options - Disk Drive and Active Sync. If you connect as Disk Drive, the PC takes over and it cannot be seen inside the explorer of Diamond. Better connect with Active Sync for transferring data.
this works try it. google htc diamond internal storage hot fix.
I also have the problem that the internals storage can not be found anymore. I tried everything including double hard reset,... - internal storage could not be formated because it was not found or "not installed". I can connect my Diamond to the PC via ActiveSync but not as a storage device (harddisc).
Cant`t install the sprint hotfix on my german Diamond either (wrong device message).
There is a chance that your internal storage is infected by some virus. The virus for windows desktop versions might not affect Windows mobile, certain times, it could block you from accessing your internal storage.
I had this issue with my Symbian phone (nokia N91), where i got infected by an autorun.inf file, and symbian was unable to access data from the builtin harddrive.
I had this problem last night. Here's how I fixed it:
Connect the phone via USB, and select Disk Drive.
Go into Windows Explorer and wait for the drive to show up. Don't try opening it!
Just right click the drive and wait... When I did this, this step took 10 minutes!
When the menu finally loads up, click Format.
You should be able to leave the defaults that come up. But here's the settings to the best of my memory.
Format: Fat 32, Allocation: 4032 (or something like that), check Quick Format then click Format. And wait some more...

Post #7 was helpful.
During file transfer from my PC to my Diamond the process was stuck, then i have looked on my diamond and couldn't find Internal Storage via file explorer.
via memory manager there is a message of " Total memory card: not installed".
so I did a Hard reset but still there is no Internal storage, also tried to format the Internal Storage but there was no access.
PS, My diamond is not a sprint.
how can I recover my Storage?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I'm not mistaken, when you have the phone connected to your PC as an external hd, you cannot access this storage on your phone because "it's in use" by your PC. When you connect via Activesync though, you can access the external storage.
Solution
Found the answer from a sprint forum. This fixed the problem for me.

Just follow the directions.
Hi, I was wondering if we have any software application or any other registry tweak to install everything on storage card instead of device storage.
I have an ATT Tilt with Windows Mobile 6.5 cooked ROM.
When a software is installed it asks where to install it, i.e., on Device Memory or Storage Card. I selected Storage Card for every application installation. But still all the EXEs and related files goes under /windows/ directory of the device.
Hence, memory is being occupied. Advance Config Tool has some location change options but not for windows directory.
Is there a way all these EXEs and other related files can go under Storage Card /windows/ directory.
Is there any way to access SD Card from PC to copy files over not by using HTC Sync and similar software.
I just want to access to SD Card like to flash drive by connecting to PC via USB cable
Is it possible?
When I connect htc i can see only some kind of 16mb drive called HTC SYNC MANAGER with drivers on it (see attached image)
The device connected as MTP device but not like Mass Storage.
Fix
I went to Windows Explorer and find out that SD card is available from there(see attached image)
Until then I was using Total Commander but it is not supported MTP devices by default.
In order to fix that I downloaded MTP plugin from here http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=267753
Hope it will help for there who experienced same problem
When I connect my 4s (EU) to my PC, it detects the SD card (128GB Kingston or 64GB, both tried exFat and FAT32 formatted), but when opening the contents, it says there's nothing on it, while it has over 40 gb of data on it...!
What's going on? The card is up to spec!?!
The phone's own memory is shown correctly and I can access all maps. The SD card however is detected, but not accessible.
The only files I can see are the ones I copy from PC to phone's sd card over USB connection. But I want to copy photos and videos from phone to PC.....
I already tried uninstalling the Alcatel Idol 4s driver, and reconnected to get this phone mounted again, and the result is the same.
Anyone have this too? Fix?
PS: I've tried FAT32 formatting as well as ExFAT, both cases the PC detects the card, even tells me how much space is available, but shows NO contents and tells me the map is EMPTY!?!?!
Do you try usb debugging? Is ur phone locked when you connect it to pc?
