if i format the card i lose whats already on it. Besides, its not detecting the device either... its not like i get only one thing to show... i get neither.
try a couple of things. Reset your Storm. Close out DM and re open it. or reset your computer if that doesnt work.
Also, try clicking on device none and go to the dropdown box and see if you can select it from there.
If all fails, and you are trying to update OS, you can do so directly from apploader which can be found at program files->common files->research in motion->loader (im 99% on my mac now so that was from memory) double click apploader and you will be able to upgrade OS from there
Ok let's try this on the PC plug in the BB and check device mgr and see if it shows up as a usb device or a bb if it shows up uninstall them in the device manager reboot the pc and reconnect the BB
