When I plug my phone into my PC it offers me the option to expose the phone as a virtual CD ROM drive presumably mounting an ISO on the filesystem.

Think it'd be possible to change the ISO to mount windows 10 or linux live CDs?
edit: Seems the file mounted is /system/etc/PCTOOL.iso and seems like my PC would boot from it...
This is that the drivedroid app does, if that helps any

If you replace /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO with another valid ISO file, that'll mount when you choose that option. This was done a long time ago on the EVO 4G LTE. The ISO was replaced with adb & fastboot tools and an automatic command prompt.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720559
I don't see why something like that can be done on the 10 as well.
P.S. At one point I even tried running Ubuntu from it, but that got crazy, lol
Drivedroid requires root, was more of a thought exercise to avoid rooting the device.

So, I have the latest GB on my phone of course with root acces and busybox, and i read this topic and tried out:

sleep 1
so when the phone starts the the object starts too and ehen I list the mods the usb-storage.ko is there aswell, when i plug the usb drive it's led starts blinkink and when i check the sda-s it is listing it. and i have the proper folder on the sdcard with the proper permissons (777)

So i'm running ParanoidAndroid ROM on my phone and have flashed at least 8 ROM's to my phone, each time praying I don't lose my IMEI since there seems to be no rhyme or reason why people are losing it. So I finally decided I should backup my IMEI just in case. I chose to use Geek's method to do so since it seems the easiest way to do it, however, typing out the lines of script manually seems awfully tedious so I decided to try to use gScript Lite. Problem is I have no idea what the hell i'm doing.
This is what I have done so far:
Installed GSL on my phone. Installed Notepad+ on my Windows 7 PC and copied and pasted the lines of script to NPP, one for enabling diag mode and one for disabling diag mode. After copying each set of script to NPP, I saved the file as a .sh file. At this point I think I should move said files to my sdcard and import them via GSL. Does this sound about right? I have no clue here and am just winging it but would like some input from those who know what's up before I fuxor my phone.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
**Edit**
I went ahead and saved the file to my sdcard in the gscript folder and imported them and created the scripts

Ok so I am a firm believer on "search, learn and search until you understand"! I've been searching and haven't found much. This is the deal. I am on my 3rd replacement/refurb of this phone. We all hear that "every device is different" and I always agreed. Basically when I connect to PC in usb mode for file transfer usually I will have both internal and external sd slots available. With this refurb I can only see internal sd when phone is running regular and from recovery (agat 1.4.2) only external is viewable? How can I get both viewable at the same time again? I always run TW, tried pretty much all the GB27 ROMs and a couple different kernel options, tried a fresh 16GB and my older 32GB sd cards. I can't figure it out? It used to work no problem, not it's gone?Is this happening to others? Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks
So nobody else is are has had this problem? I'm usually pretty good at finding solutions and answers to problems, but this still has me beat!
I've had the problem before but not consistently and a reboot always fixes it.

I have noticed something weird with my device. When I connect my device into a computer or laptop running on Windows 7 and then view the contents of my "sdcard folder" or the /storage/emulated/0/ directory, there are some files and folders that can't be seen.
Those files and folders, however, can be viewed in an explorer app within the device such as Root Explorer or if I access my device from my computer through SSHDroid using WinSCP or command terminal like Putty.
I'm attaching a screen shot of what it looks like.

Do anyone here knows what's the issue in here, what caused this, and a way to fix this?
I'm running on stock rom 6.0.1 build number MMB29V, and my device is rooted.
Thanks in advance!
open Media Storage settings
clear data
reboot
@{fd}ware, I had the settings in Windows correctly. I learned from further reading from other sources that this isn't about the Windows Explorer settings. It was about the media storage rebuilding or refreshing.
Just like what @k23m responded, I have to clear media storage data and reboot the device to rebuild it.
Note the attached screen shot of the Device Manager on a brand new Windows 10 64 Bit machine when a Verizon Note 10+ 5G is connected to the PC's USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C jack with the cable that comes from Samsung with their 45W charger. Everything works perfectly including connectivity with the PC's file manager to access the files on the phone. It's just that I am a somewhat spoiled perfectionist techie and not sure why I am getting this. I've searched and haven't found any "driver's" (even though it appears everything is natively supported).
Any thoughts? My phone is not named "SAMSUNG_Android" - so that is a default designation...

When I connect my device, it appears as "samsung sm-975F"
Mine is SM-976V... And, drum roll.... Does the Device Manager say there are no driver's for it on your PC?

I hadn't put ADB yet on my phone but duh -
