first off, wanted to say I've done a bit of searching, but never really found a workable solution to this problem...
I'm running windows 7 x64
At one point I had no problem finding my phones drives on my system. Everything was working fine. I went to format the SD card for ext4, but the windows program (blanking on name) wouldn't correctly recognize my SD card. I ended up using my ubuntu boot disk. However during all that my system somehow got completely screwed. I can't get the phones drives to appear in windows.
I have all the drivers for my vibrant installed on my laptop, but when i plug the phone in the drives don't appear. In device manager it shows two new disk drives (samsung sgh-t959 card usb device and samsung sgh-t959 usb device) without any problems when it's plugged in.
Odin recognizes the phone in DL mode without a problem, and I've flashed to stock a few times through it, as well as flashing jac's kernel. My desktop recognizes the phone, but I'm rarely home and would like to use my laptop to put mods for clockworkmod on my phone, as it's a lot easier to use than odin.
I've reinstalled more than a few times and it's always the same, drivers show up and work, drives dont.
Does anyone know how to get this working again?

I recently put the Vegan-tab V1.0.065.11 with the Cyanogen Mod kernel 2.6.32.32 on my new g Tablet. Prior to that time I was able to use my computer to load files as it saw my g Tablet as a storage device.
Now when I try to use the cable link between the computer and the tablet it recognizes it as a removable storage device but when trying to access the tablets file structure I get a windows pop-up that states "Please insert disk into drive F". I have tried this on two workstations both running XP with the same result.
I also am unable to read files on a memory stick. I had not tried this before I had switched to Vegan so I am unsure as to wither this was a problem prior to the switch.
There is no message on the tablet regarding the turning on of any service or the mounting of the USB device. Does anyone have any suggestions as how I can get these file transfer mediums working again?
I am having the same problem. It has worked fine for about two weeks and how I'm not getting the prompt either. The same thing happened with another ROM. I can connect fine with ADB. I am currently running VEGAn Gingerbread. The same problem happened when I was running AOSP Gingerbread. It happened after about five days with AOSP GB.
Same problem here - im using ginger edition
Are you guys turning on USB mass storage by selecting usb connected and then turn on?
That's the thing... after a period the prompt to turn on or off the USB storage stops displaying after a period. The only prompt that I see is for USB debugging, and turning that on or off has not affect on my ability to connect to the internal storage from multiple Windows boxes. The prompt was there last weekend, but it's gone now.
Hello everyone. Forgive me if I missed a thread about this. I checked all of them but they were dead ends. Anyways about a week ago i can put music on HTC aria(mine is the liberty version), now I can't. I run both windows and Linux on one laptop and I tried to see if it would be detected on Linux still didn't work... then i tried on windows still didn't work, no usb sound nothing... The only thing it does is connect to charge. When I plugged my sisters phone it worked and a USB thing popped up. My laptop also has a micro sd slot and on windows sp2 it doesn't detect the micro sd but it detects it on Linux. So confusing.

Did you mount the SD card when you connected it?
Try turning off usb debugging before connecting it. Worked for me.
Connect your device to the laptop then remove all device drivers that related to your phone from your windows system after finish unplug ur phone reboot it ,reboot ur system then try to replug an install the device drivers again.
All,
I've tried everything and I cannot get my PC's to recognise my GS2.
It's not even constant, sometimes I connect it via USB to the PC and it comes up as unrecongised device, other times it will detect as a camera as GT-i9100 (regardless of it I select MTP)... I've reinstalled Kiers I don't know how many times and have even manually installed the drivers but still no luck.
So I gave up with that as I only want to connect to Odin to get rid of this crap software. So I downloaded the CWM root package onto my SD Card and booted into recovery, went to apply the zip and it says it cannot mount /sdcard as not such directory exists?!?! Now I don't have an external SD Card but the .zip file is located on the internal storage in /sdcard/Downloads.
I have a Mac at home that allowed a connection into Kiers first time to update to stock ICS - should I just abandon this trying to connect to Windows and try and find an alternative to Odin for Mac?
Thanks for any help at all.
Dan.
but the .zip file is located on the internal storage in /sdcard/Downloads.
NO try copy pasting update zip file on root of SD card then try....
Edit : this rooting methed you can only try on ICS vesrions
Thanks ZACQ8.
I just thought I'd try another USB cable as a last shot, and OMG it started installing the drivers Still failed to install the Mobile MTP Device but it's getting there...
You have to use the same USB port when you connect your SGSII.
I noticed that if I plugged it into another port the phone would come up as unrecognised - this was all tested on a few PCs when the phone was on GB and connecting as an external hard drive.
I haven't tested if the problem still exists with ICS, as it do 'external hard drive'.
Seems like it was the cable all along...
Phone now recognised in Odin and Device Manager.
Pile of crap.
I've had this problem for a while (not being able to connect my NT to my computer) and can't seem to resolve it. I happened to have to upgrade my hard drive and hoped the clean install of XP would fix it but it didn't!
When I connect my NT to the computer via USB (running Paranoid Android 3.01 off 32GB class 4 Sandisk SD card, and yes, I have USB Debugging enabled) I get the following:
The NT is recognized as the following devices, in this order:
MTP
Composite USB
Nook Tablet
The hardware installer opens after each "device" is recognized. Finally I get to Nook Tablet after cancelling the two previous hardware install requests but a third pops up and then I get a message that there was a problem with the installation!
I had been able to fix this problem previously by running usbdview and uninstalling each device, then deleting the device drive letter assignment, and finally running my Norton 360 Registry Cleanup Utility. But, now, that just isn't working!
I surmised that I was having a problem with the drivers. So, I surfed the web and found the USB Driver Zip file from Indirect's OP on rooting and installed them on my computer again. No luck.
I managed to get into a log file (don't ask me what it was called, I forgot) that was in the WINDOWS/DRIVERS/i386 folder. It mentioned a paging error occurred during the process of attempting to connect the NT to the computer. Does this mean my SD card is bad? I have had no problems using it to run the PA ROM on my NT, at all. From what I read however, that I could try to understand, a paging error has something to do with a problem with the SD card? Certainly I can just reinstall the ROM, in another card if necessary, or load a new one. However, I'd like to be able to get my content off the card without having to drop box all the files to myself (a decent but slow workaround).
I know I could try to use ADB over my wireless connection somehow to achieve this as well, but that is over my head right now.
Any suggestions regarding what is going on here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's not clear from your post if you're merely try to connect the NT to your PC via USB for media content transfer, or for ADB access.
If the latter, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35971559&postcount=13 might be of help.
Oops, sorry. Just for content access/transfer.
Actually tonight my device seemed to reboot while I was in the middle of composing a document (data viz word). It's never done THAT before. Interestingly, it seemed to skip cyanoboot and go right to the SD ROM. The WiFi needed to be manually connected thereafter (usually auto connects). The reason I think it rebooted and it wasn't the screen flaking out as a problem is it went black and then right to the first animation for PA 3.01. But this seems to make no sense!
Maybe the SD card IS failing?
Yes, I am trying to avoid having to learn ADB access. Too tired (you know why Digi.) If I must, I will shell out for a new card and maybe try one of your newer ROMS......it's probably time for that anyway. But the card is only 6 months old
I will test out trying to access the NT on the computer via USB without the SD card mounted. Maybe that will shed some light.
Thanks as always.

when I plug in my I717 via USB in my desktop, windows sees it as Samsung Android device, but when I go into windows explorer, there's nothing to see (the usb or sd storage isnt listed at all) and I do have mtp usb storage activated on the phone and usb debug. I am running gingerbread touchwiz rom. I can see the phone and transfer files wirelessly with ES file explorer, but I cant access the sd card or the phones internal storage through usb windows explorer connection even though device management shows Samsung android device. Windows Device manager shows the phone with no yellow flags. anyone had this happen and found solution to share? thanks
You can try rebooting the computer, using different usb ports, using a different cable. I don't know if this works on gingerbread but I have used it on jellybean roms before when I've had trouble connecting... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch
Just thought of one other thing. You didn't say anything about Windows loading the device drivers so I gotta ask if you have installed the Samsung drivers?

yep..have samsung drivers. also, about the app you linked above, I'd like to try it out but google play says its not compatible with my device (probably because I'm still on gingerbread). anywhere else I can download the apk and try manual install?
I think your problem is that you are connecting via MTP (media transfer protocol). You need to connect via USB mass storage. With your Note not connected to your PC, go into Settings, under Wireless and network look for USB utilities. Follow the phone's instructions for connecting to USB storage to your PC. Wait for the Windows autostart to read the phone storage. (My PC is XP and takes a minute or so.) Then you should see two new drives show on Windows Explorer. One is phone internal storage and the other is the phone's external SD card. Hope this works for you. Good luck!
I believe sonebwood is on the right track on this. I remember when the Note first came out I had to change something to get windows to see the drives. Is there any particular reason you keep the phone on gingerbread? ICS was a lot better and you can update to JB through Kies.
