Problem with USB Mass Storage

Hi,
I bought mine Galaxy yesterday, and now i found a serious problem!
I have 8gb (SanDISK) memory card and when i connect the USB cable (the original one) to the phone and give "mount" on the screen nothing appears on the PC (the PC is with WinXP)...the mass storage is missing!
On the phone itself all seems OK, i can enter in the SDCard, see and install apk., etc..
I will appreciate some help! Thanks!

Try turning on USB debugging in the applications menu and rebooting. Worked for me.

[Q] External SD card not visible on PC Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1

Hello,
I can not see the external sd card on my windows PC.
I can see the internal sd card as a drive and i have read write access on my win PC (XP/ prof and win7 prof)
I can see the external sd card as a drive but cannot see any files or folders.
connected USB cabel
select mass storage device
not possible to connect USB to PC via dialog (no notification is vissible in notification bar)
reconnect usb cable
Now it is possibel to connect USB to PC via upcoming dialog on phoneselect mass storage device Message box comes up telling that some apps may not work because they have access to sd card
After disconnecting the phone from PC I cannot access the external SD card on my phone until reboot of phone.
I can access the the external sd card using a card reader on my PC.
I think I got these problems since flashing Voodoo-stable-5.1-Froyo-2.2.1-GT-I9000
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband I9000XXJPP
Kernel 2.6.32.9
I tried to format the sd card with the phone - no changes.
Best regards and thanks in advance O

I have the exact same problem, when I connect with usb cable to my win 7 x64 system using the mass storage option, at first I do not connect at all, then I have to remove the usb cable once, after that I can connect but only see the sd card on the phone itself, the external sd card is invisible.
When I remove the usb cable I am also unable to see the external sd card on the phone itself and I have to restart my phone in order to see it again.

My proplem is solved. By error I installed the voodoo 5.1. on Froyo 2.2 . But it should have been installed on Froyo 2.2.1 as mentioned in the filename of the zip file. I thought froyo 2.2.1 is included in the voodoo update.

Can't mount SD card to computer

Embarrassing problem - can't seem to mount the external SD card on computer! The card worked with my previous phone (the almighty Dell Streak), and it's recognised by the Note too, can write and read to it no problem on the phone
I've enabled USB Debug, and connected the USB to computer, two empty removable drives appear in My Computer, but nothing mounts! So I'm not able to transfer anything across.
Any suggestions?

Here's how its done:
1. Disable USB debugging
2. Plug cable into your Note, don't connect to your computer yet
3. Go to Settings/Wireless and Network/USB Utilities
4. Click 'Connect storage to PC'
5. Note will tell you to plug your cable into PC
6. Click 'Connect storage to PC' (Note)
7. PC will mount both your cards
8. You're done.

Thanks, different way of doing it than when I was on the Dell. =]
The computer still loads up both drives as "empty" ones though.

Your computer probably doesn't have proper Samsung drivers. Download them from here:

Thanks, that sorted it =]

I'm glad you got there in the end.

Just a quick workaround for mounting external sd to pc with JB

Hello,
To all SGS holders with JB-
I just found this method- go to recovery->mounts and storage->mount external USB storage->done!
NOTE: I have noticed that even if I press unmount, the USB Storage is stiil mounted to pc.
Enjoy!
PS: Comment and let me know if it works for you :good:

[Q] Mount as drive on PC

Hi,
is it possible to mount the phone as a normal USB drive (with a drive letter) on a PC instead of using "Computer\Xperia Z"?
I would like to use a simple robocopy script to backup the phone to the PC.
Thanks

You will be able to do so only for External SD Card.
Go to Settings -> Xperia -> USB Connectivity -> USB Connection Mode and select Mass Storage mode (MSC)

U can Use sd-card in mass storage mode
But for using internal memory u must root ur device and instal an app u can find in xperia s forms
