For some reason, I can't get the Captivate to mount the SD card so it'll show up in Windows Explorer as a mass storage device. I've already tried unmounting and formatting it, but that didn't work or change anything. I've switched USB ports as well and that didn't work either. Anyone got any solutions?
Thanks
After multiple tries. I finally got it! Took only like 10 tries.

This is the best way i found to make it active.
Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>USB Settings.
-Select "Ask on connection" (or select Mass Storage if Ask option is not present, depends on the ROM)
-Make sure USB Debbuging is unchecked in Apps>Development.
Plug in your USB cable.
-If asked to choose the type of connection select "Mass Storage"
-Pull down the notification bar and tap the USB notification.
-Select Mount
Windows should now mount the sdcard as a usb storage media.
I had a similar issue with this; i needed to unplug my usb cable and replug it back it to get it to work 1-3 times.
I flashed my phone with Froyo and the issue is now gone

Yep that's how I got it working in the end. Didn't even know you can pull down the notification bar...

I connect my phone via usb after rooting. It just says USB connected. I cant choose to mount sd card. Anyone experiencing the same problem ?
You have to go to Settings -> About phone -> USB Settings and choose "Mass storage". Sometimes when I reboot my phone I have to select that option to get mount working again. Probably a bug.
Mine is already in mass storage mode.
Solved the problem by checking USB Debugging mode and downloading Samsung USB drivers for mobile phone.
I don't know why, I'm in mass storage mode and I expected to just be able to copy and paste files like in Samsung Wave (or any other phones) but I cannot do it in Galaxy S.
Never liked mass storage mode. Enable USB debugging mode instead. Go to menu ->settings ->Applications -> Development -> USB debugging. Once connected to the PC, pull down the notification menu and select connect.
Thank you. Tried it but it doesn't work too. The micro sd partitions do not appear even if usb mode (debugging) is connected already.
Am I the only one experiencing this?
did you pull the notification bar and choose to connect to ur comp? if ur on froyo, once you click " mass storage " you should then see a green android on the screen with the option to connect to the computer. if you dont see the notification, unplug the usb and try again.
SOLVED after updating my firmware to JPU. Thank you for the help guys! It was as I suspected. For some reason, my phone owned the external microsd's filesystem after formatting (I was using JP2 firmware). I formatted it again after flashing to JPU and voila, all problems fixed.
Does anyone know how to make CM7 always mount both emmc and the 4th sdcard partition when you use the "Turn on USB storage" option that comes up when you plug the Nook into the computer.
I know you can do it by hand like this:

I also know that you can use:
Nook Color USB Mass Storage Utility App:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952456
But how do you make it automatic when ever you press the button?
I have modified my stock emmc /system/etc/vold.conf and it now mounts the 4th partition automatically when booting stock.
Using the same SD card partition for eMMC and SD booting:

Once this is fixed everything will be perfect and i can pick and choose which way to boot.

Everything you are talking about is for Rooted Eclair (stock).
There is no "Turn on USB Storage" or "press the button" in CM7 when you connect the USB cable...
Generally, people use the Utility if they want to mount anything more than the default.

Actually when you plug a cable into your Nook when running CM7 you get a notification of "USB Connected - Select to copy files to/from your computer." If you select it you get a picture of a little Android guy with a USB arm and the words:
USB Connected
You have connected your phone to your computer via USB. Select the button below if you want to copy files between your computer and your Android's SD card.
At the bottom of the screen is a button that says: Turn on USB Storage.
This button is what I am trying to get to mount the 4th sdcard partition as well as the emcc partition. Like I said I made the changes on the emcc Eclair side and I know how to do it manually. I just was trying to figure out IF you can do it with that button.
I am going to bump this once to see if anyone has any idea.
Thanks...
If i plug in a usb stick to the note I would have expected it would mount it automatically as it recognises the mass storage is connect (via the notification) but I cant find where it is mounted so that leads me to assume it hasnt mounted?
I've tried usb mass storage watcher and usb host controller but cant seem to get it.
Can anyone help? Thanks
There is a folder called "usbStorage" in your sd-card folder. Qithin that is a folder called "sda" --> thats your usb stick.
if you're using ES file explorer.. u'll find it in favorites once mounted..
Cheers guys, thats exactly how I'd expect it to work but it doesnt seem to be.
I triple checked that there is files on the usb stick with the computer, when I plug it into the phone I get notifications in this order - "USB Connector Connected", "USB Mass Storage Connected", "Media Scanner Running", "Media Scanner Complete". So all this seems well but inside /sdcard/usbStorage/sda there is nothing. Similarily there are no additional favourites inside ES File Explorer (on a seperate note, do you know how to add things into the favourites as I cant seem to figure that either!?)
So there's no additional steps I need to take in order to get it mounted? What I'm doing should work yeah?
Just incase here my info: Rocket Rom v22, AbyssNote v4.2 Kernel.
*Edit*
Without the usb stick plugged in, there is no 'sda' folder, when I plug it in it appears but says its empty?

My Configuration is same as yours. But i'm able to see a USB-Stick connected to the phone (triple checked a few seconds ago).
Is it possible that your USBStick ist formatted to NTFS? I don't know if our kernel is able to see NTFS formatted sticks.

So I've installed Mackay ROM 2.91 of kasper_h. It works like a bliss ( i'm new so I cannot post in development section ) till some time.
When I plugged in usb cable to my mobile and pc it showed on P970 to mountSDcard and then it popped in on my pc BUT later on it failed to do so. Now I can only mount my SDcard via card adapter or in recovery mode it shows removable disk but do not open it but if I press mount USB mass storage device it open my sdCard on my pc))
SO WHAT THE HELL, why isn't it mounting while using my phone in normal way, connected to PC? but only in recovery lol...
Anyone got the very same issue?
I've found androidforums. com /desire-tips-tricks/365476-guide-usb-brick-fix. html but do not know if it is good solution for it and even if I do not understand it at all>.>.
Go to settings/storage, press menu and select USB connection. There are 3 diferent types, mtp, camera and mass storage. Try the others.
