This maybe a stupid question. Does anyone know how to mount the internal storage on a PC when the phone is plugged it? The only thing I get is the SDcard. When I plug my Incredible in I get both the internal and SDCard mounted.

I'm trying to use my old Dinc as a music player for my car. My problem is I see 2 different drives, the SD Card (or Storage 0) and the internal storage (Storage 1). But my SD Card is only 2gb and the internal is 6gb. For some reason my phone seems to want to use only the 2gb sd card, which is of course almost full already. How can I make it "prefer" to use the 6gb internal drive instead (especially when syncing music through winamp)?
Wondering how to transfer pc files to phone's external memory card since when connected by usb to the laptop-the ;aptop only detects the phone and it's contents.I'm under the assumption-the ext.sd card should show as a removable storage device.What works?
I’m trying out my new Sony Xperia Z1C.
And there are some things I have questions about
Before I had a HTC One and I could connect it by cable to my audio equipment in my car (BMW 3 F series). This worked because the BMW can read MTP devices.
Connecting the Sony the first time it took ages before it was ready and then only the contents of the internal memory were shown.
When starting mirrorlink on the phone made it unusable in the car.
With a task manager I could remove the mirrorlink background task, is there no other way to stop that background task?
But the problem remained, it could connect but nothing of the SD card was shown.
So I switched to Mass storage and tried to connect again.
This was a lot faster but only four directories were shown.
I copied files on the sd card directly from my pc and not through the phone connection,
so I reformatted the card
and copied files to it through the phone connected to the pc. Copying then failed on .m3u files (why , the phone cannot do anything with them so why not copying?),
so I skipped all those files and
mounted the sd card once more as mass storage,
and now the car audio can see all of the directories. Now I know how to copy mp3 files but it is still a strange way of working, copying to the SD card directly works so much faster.
Mounting the SD card as MTP has almost the same result as before, it reads the card a lot faster now but it still does not show content of the sd.
Can anybody explain me what the correct way of working is,
is MTP only for internal memory (when connecting to the pc on MTP I can see both sdcard0 (internal memory) as sdcard1 (sd card )?
What about killing background tasks such as mirrorlink, how to proceed?
What about copying files to the SDCard, from the pc to the card or from the pc through the phone and then to the card?
Are not all filetypes supported on the card?, I think my initial problem was related to the M3U files.
no time to get into details but i know 2 things
MTP mounts the phones internal memory plus the external sd card
mass storage mounts only the sd card like any other mass storage device
and yes, MTP is slower compared to the mass storage.
