After I forced RC29, I can no longer access my sd card as usb storage device when my g1 is connected to my computer. The drive shows up but when I try to open it, it says "Please insert a disk".
Any ideas?

When you connect the device the G1 will have a notification. Open it and select Mount. This is part of the update.

Not 100 percent sure but i beleive someone said that you need to boot the device with the usb plugged in for it to recognize some drives?

It should be listed as usbdrive using your favorite file manager. Usually under
...
...
sdcard
sdcard2
usbdrive
Its not like windows. It doesn't pop up with a window when you plug it in. Flash drive must be formatted fat32. Android doesn't like ntfs

I do see the USB drive bit it's always empty. USB drive is fat32 formatted.
Using a USB mouse works great. I don't get a popup which notifies me about a connected usb drive like my archos 101 did.
Did a little discovery:
When connecting the tab to pc with a usb cable only then a "mount usb" message pops up.
Then a usb drive will work.
Now how do i get the gtab to mount the usb drive ?
I don't think any of these roms are gonna give you a popup when you load a usb drive. I just plugged one in on tnt 3.1 and it reads it thru file manager. I was on vegan beta4 and did the same thing yesterday
Edit: usb disk not usb drive
When you connect a cable from your pc to the tablet the pop up is to allow the tab to unmount the internal sdcard so your pc can read it.

I do not understand...what is location of the usb files then ?
Open iFileManager and hit the icon that looks like a house. Scroll down and you will find a folder named usbdisk. That is your usb drive. Open the folder. I'm assuming the usb drive is plugged in

/usbdrive is empty.
It becomes populates when i insert a mini usb cable and connect it to the pc.
This give me the mount option and only then i see files under /usbdrive.
idk then, I never had a problem reading the usb drive on vegan beta4. Sorry I can't help
OK, found it.
I have to unmount the sdcard first. Then the usb drive shows with files.
Thanks.
Cool....You may wanna drop a note in the vegan thread on what you did. Maybe others have had the same issue.

Hey. I just got a USB Flash Drive and tried connecting it to my GTab but no dice. I am running Vegan 5.1 and using ES File Explore. I navigate to the root directory and see sdcard, sdcard2, and usbdisk. Sdcard and sdcard2 has my internal storage and my micro usb storage files respectively. But nothing pops us in usbdisk. I tried removing the microsd, rebooting with the USB inserted, and unmounting the microSD but no dice.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Scott
Update: So I tried going to settings and unmounting the sdcard and now I can see the USBdisk. Odd. If I want to transfer data from one drive to another, I cant accomplish that because the SDcard is unmounted. Also all my appdata and stuff are not present. Any way to have both of these drives mounted at the same time?
Thanks

Does the phone show that its charging when you have the USB cord connected?
Do you get the prompt to put it into Disk Drive mode?

Does your phone boot into android? If it does, go to settings>SD & storage and select format SD card. You may need to hit Unmount SD card first.
or an adapter.

Or in recovery. Lol seems like he doesn't have an adaptor.
Sent from my calculator

When I plug the phone into the computer it says on the phone "There was a problem turning off USB storage. Check to make sure you have unmounted the USB host, then try again." Help?
