Can't access sd card when connected to computer
- I recently got an 8310 after having the 8700c for a few years, so this is my first time using a memory card with my blackberry. I have a placed a 2gb micro sd card in the memory, and when I check memory available on the BB, it says there is 1.8GB free space. When I connect to the computer by USB and I turn on the mass storage mode, i can not access the sc card. The drive is not showing up in windows explorer and when using the BB desktop, it only finds the internal memory. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks.03-03-08 04:16 PMLike 0
- With mass storage, I get a popup window that allows me to use the bb as a flash drive if I would like.
I had the same problem as cp. I had to manually assign a drive letter to my bb media card.
finally found the info I was seeking:
Connect bb
right click My computer
Click manage
Disk management
right click on your bb media card and manually change the drive letterLast edited by jbonnot03; 03-03-08 at 06:53 PM. Reason: New Info

- good fix.
also I think that the media manager is crap... just adding files to the card is so much easier and faaster by just click and drop. dont you think? BBManager slows the whole process down.

It typically occurs in a networked work environment, where you may have many drive letters assigned. The OS should map the blackberry to a free letter, but sometimes it doesn't. Manually assigning a drive letter solves the problem.06-22-08 06:19 PMLike 0

When they say 2GB, they mean 2 billion bytes, but there's actually 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte, or 1,073,741,824 bytes in a gigabyte. Some people call it "rounding", I call it "lying."06-25-08 05:16 AMLike 0

- +1 The Roxio stuff is unnecessary...I deleted it...all you gotta do is just drag and drop the files in Windows, just like you would to a USB thumb drive...piece of cake!06-25-08 11:06 AMLike 0

You're right -- another drive was using the same name. We both spent an hour searching Crackberry and Blackberry Forums. Finally your solution worked! Now he's dragged and dropped some downloaded ebooks from B&N and is reading them with the same cool Fictionwise eReader Pro that I've been using for the past week. Highly recommended -- who wants to carry a Kindle when we all have our BBs at hand 24/7?11-29-09 02:57 PMLike 0
