I cannot access my SD card when I connect it to my desktop, my pc sees it but I can only access the phone itself and not the sd card. It's a 2nd hand phone and the sd card is empty (no htc stuffs or anything) but it's definitely working.
Please help guys, I've been searching the forum for several hours and still cannot find the answer.
EDIT:
We can sync files into the SD card using HTC Sync but we cannot manually place (Typical drag files in and out) files via removable disk. Still cannot find any solution
Is debugging turned on or off?

Ifyou want to access the sdcard, you should choose the option to connect ad disk instead of sync or charge only.
If you're running a sense ROM, be sure to select "disk drive" in the USB menu when you connect the phone, not HTC Sync, etc.
Also, don't run HTC sync or just disconnect it after it starts, just let the computer recognize the phone as removable storage, not a phone.

Yeah, that's what I did first. I mounted it as a disk drive. I only synced it with HTC sync to just install the drivers. I'ma go try one more time.
Okay, solved by doing a restore factory settings and formatting the SD card.
Please close this thread mods Thanks!

I have a problm with my Evo as that it literally thinks its connected to a PC when it's not.
I had the phone, checked for a Astro Fime Manager for a file I placed on SD Card. When I was checking, most things appeared but when I checked other folders, like the Download folded, nothing showed in there. But I know I had files in that the folder.
I then connected the phone to my PC and without it asking me if I wanted to charge it, sync it, use it for disk drive or internet connection, it went straight to the "Use it as a disk drive" feature. Verified because soon as I plugged it into my computer, the SD Card opened on my PC.
I then clicked to have the phone just "Charging" and now I can see everything on my SD card again.
Do anyone know what this problem could be or how to fix it? I thought it was one of the SD Card Problems that was occurring to some phones. But according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
Their SD card stopped working altogether before doing the fix.
Another question about this, will "Debugging" cause this if left on? I had it one for doing the adb stuff when I rooted etc.

Thank you so much!!!!! I've been wondering why it was doing this. I was about to go buy a new SD card.
Thanks again!
I had this same problem a while back. I wonder why they thought this was a useful feature. They could have just changed the default option for when you plug in the USB.
Hi! all. i'm on Defrost 2.0b. currently got this problem.
when i plug in my desire to my laptop & unmount my SD card, it takes quite a while or can't unmount. then after it unmounts, i go to the shortcut on home screen to press the button which will go into USB storage mode. but the circle loading thing keeps loading & my laptop never seems to detect the phone. although i see a removable disk icon but i can't access it. please help.
also i have market enabler 3.0.8 installed. but not sure how to use anyone can give tutorial?
i dont suppose you are using a mac?
if i disable the disk drive from the phone then the computer is unable to properly eject the phone
you have to eject the phone driver from the computer first and then disable the disk drive from the phone

i'm using Vista Premium version. 2gb RAM. please help. i can't even sync with HTC sync.
sounds to me like a driver problem
go to control panel -> device manager
find your phone and uninstall the driver
disconnect your phone
reboot your computer
do not install htc sync but connect your phone to your computer and wait for the drivers to install
try now
properly enabling disk drive/storage:
connect your phone to your computer
drag down the notification bar and select connection type to disk drive
in 'My Computer' you will now see your memory card
to unmount just change from disk drive to charge and then disconnect phone from computer
hope this helps and sorry for the delay
A few weeks ago when running a LeeDroid custom ROM, i noticed that whenever I had HTC Sync as the default connection type in "Connect to PC" and I plug my phone in using the usb cable , the phone would Sync with my PC but it would also mount the SD card as a USB removable drive. This is not supposed to happen and should only mount the SD card if I choose "Disk Drive" as the connection type in "Connect to PC"
I then unrooted my phone due to the reboot problem and I am still having the problem above, which is a pain because i have my phone charging all day at work and have custom ringtones on my SD card which do not work when the SD card is mounted as a removable drive.
Anyone else having the same trouble?
Winamp or something similar installed?
yep Winamp
Can be solved somewhere in the settings of Winamp, has been mentioned multiple times.
thanks, got it now!
I am rooted, and I've tried restarting both phone and laptop. Reseated sd card also. I have disk drive selected as default connection. Any ideas? Thanks
have you tried enabling or disabling usb debugging?
Have you tried selecting Mount as disk drive option when plugged into computer? I know my default is Charge only but when i want it to show up, I choose mount it. On my mac it comes up as a drive with "no name" as its name in the finder
I tried usb debugging. It says usb debugging enabled at the top of the evo when I connect it like that, but still cannot see the sd card. I do have "disk drive" selected as my default connection type.
Still can't get it to see the sd card. Is there a way to install a ROM via bluetooth?
Get a usb-microsd reader and mount the phone's sdcard on the mac, if you can't download the rom directly to your sdcard, over 3g/4g.
Did you happen to recently install the newest version of Ilife?
I think thats what did it for me...
Hi guys, I am having a problem with my HTC WFS a510c, I am trying to follow this guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399872) to s-off the phone, but I am unable to get the phone to connect in "disk drive" mode. I have the drivers installed, the computer recognizes the phone and shows the drive in explorer but does not show up in the gold card creator. Or when trying to open it from explorer it says "please insert a disk". The last time I connected through the usb cable this worked fine i was able to move pictures and music back and forth, but as soon as I went to try this it wont work. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you guys in advance.
Did you select mass storage in the menu that comes after connecting the usb??? And BTW you need to use a Card reader to create a goldcard.

I did pick that option on the phone when it asked, ive had it working in the past.
Thank you for the advice on Gold Card Creator, I was just confused in the guide it said to plug the phone in and pick mass storage mode. Will try using my card reader thank you again.
Thank you for the tip about using a card reader, I am now S-off and Rooted, thanks again.
The only problem I am having is my phone is still not functioning as a USB storage device
could be a hardware problem on the phone......try another usb cable.....it might be that your usb cable is malfunctioning

Ill give that a shot, and hopefully that will solve it. It's just been an odd problem because the computer recognizes the phone and installs drivers and everything just now joy with storage mode.
my storage mode stopped working after i installed link2sd and made an ext2 partition. wifes still works with 2 FAT32 partitions using the same cable.
Mine stopped working before I did link2sd or data2sd, not sure what caused it, just ordered a new cable today and sd card, to see if that helps it.
