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.

You connecting the phone through the MTP protocol or the USB mode?
In USB mode the apps and widgets that are on sd card will stop working and even can hang the phone as they stop responding to the system commands!

I connect my SGN via the USB cable to my PC so i can transfer files to the SGN. I have USB debugging off.
I have had no issues with copying files back and forth between my PC and SGN.
My un-answered question still stands: Why is there no multitasking during USB file transfer like on other smartphones?
