Hey,
I'm having trouble getting my phone to mount the SD card through USB. I've tried windows and linux computers. I've tried different cords. I've tried rebooting the phone and the computers. The phone will charge off the USB, but it won't mount or notify me to mount it. I can't get it to work.
I'm running:
Cyanogen 4.2.14 on G1
Apps2SD with linux-swap space
Windows vista and Ubuntu
Any help would be appreciated
I too have this problem
I am also experiencing the same issue with my htc hero cdma. Plug it to any pc or linux and just charges.
you have to go to recovery mode and press the usb toggle and it should show up on your computer then just reboot your phone and then you'll start getting the notification

I connected my phone to my computer using USB, selected "Mass Storage", 2 new removable drives appeared on my computer. However, neither drives connect to the internal 16G SD card. Both drives told me to insert the media when I double clicked on it. I tried this on a XP and a Win 7 machine with the same result. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a defected phone?
I have the exact same problem on XP and win7... I've tried everything I can think of including several different cables.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Make sure you're choosing "Mount" on the Captivate after connecting the cable.
See here:

This device NEEDS drivers, even for the Massive Storage device (At least it didn't work for me, Win7 x64 until I installed the drivers)
Try downloading KIES and try again, the x64 drivers you can fin around here didn't seem to work for me.
What rom are you running?

You only need driver if you're on XP. No drivers needed for Vista or Win7.
But you do have to MOUNT the drives on your phone. There are reasons why a MOUNT is required. But if you're too lazy, you can download an app from market to auto-mount for you.

Incorrect. I have lost track of how many XP machines I've hooked my Captivate to in Mass storage mode and not needed to install any drivers.
Oh my god you guys rock... I never had to mount the device before. I wonder why that changed recently?
Anyway, mounting the device worked.
Thanks!!
When I go to my SD settings, it is already mounted. I've unmounted, then mounted to no avail. I've downloaded and installed teh drivers from Samsung and everything says it is successful. If I try to run in USB debug mode I get the same result except 3 drivers install automatically than the 1 when I am in regular mode. Any ideas?

Make sure you are connected directly to the back of the computer, not thru a hub, or the front of the computer case. I've heard the voltages needed have very tight tolerances. Try a different cable as well

You are doing the wrong thing. SD settings and mount/unmount in there is for the SD card mounting to your phone, not PC.
To connect Mass Storage mode to PC, you need set your USB mode to Mass Storage, and turn off USB debug mode. Once connected to PC, you need to go to notification window and tap on the USB notification to mount your SD cards to PC.
I just found that before I checked your reply. Thanks for the help. I can actual access the storage on the phone now without some weird settings. Now if 2.2 would only come out for the Captivate. Thanks.
Hi all, i do have big problem with my 4GB SD Card in Vodafone 845 (Androind 2.1) which won't mount correctly in WinXP SP3. New drive letter is assigned to SD Card, but when i try to access this new drive i always get message "Drive not found!". Approx. 1 week ago this procedure was working fine, and i was able to access new drive without any problems, but now this is not working for unknown reason. I tried to remove and reinsert SD Card, but it didn't help. SD Card is 100% fine, i can access data on it through phone itself - wallpapers, music etc. I thought that maybe USB cable is damaged, but it's not. I can access all data which are located in phone memory without any problem through this cable in Windows. Then i thought PC Suite app which was provided with this phone became corrupt so i reinstalled this app including phone drivers, but this didn't help. I tried to search for newer drivers for this phone, but i didn't find any. In device managers all devices are and were correctly installed - no unknown devices asking for drivers. So then i decided to do fresh install of Windows XP with hope that this will solve problem, but situation is same and it didn't help at all. I tried to install "automount" app from market, but it didn't help at all. I'm playing with these for long hours now, but still no working solutions. Can somebody help me to solve this issue?
The only thing I see is that you have tried everything BUT you have not tried formatting the card yet. Yes I know you are going to lose everything on it but that is the price we pay some of the time. Format the card and if it still doesn't work, let us know.
Thanks for advice!
Sorry for late reply, i was lying in the bed with flu. I reformatted SDCard and flashed new custom Mr.Edition 1.8 ROM. It's working fine now, i'm able to mount sdcard properly in Window XP now. Seems there was something wrong with SDCard, like if some installed app amended something in SDCard parameters, so WinXP was not able to recognize and mount it. Do you think is it possible?
For some strange reason i cant mount my sd card any more....i have tried re flashing different roms and kernels still the same result. mount sd wont even work in recovery. But the phone still recognizes the it and i can play my media off it..also what i have realised is that when i connect it to any computer phone only charges...there is no indication of it in device manager...even tried using the HTC one X all in one tool to try running a few commands ....i get device not found..
ive tried this on windows 8 x64
and windows vista x32
also i have tried different usb cables
any ideas anyone
