  3. USB Device not showing on my computer

    Dear Sir/ Madam

    When i plug in my Blackberry 9790 Device via USB Cable, the Device will either ask the following:

    1. USB DRIVE

    2. SYNC DEVICE

    3. CHARGE PHONE

    I do select "USB DRIVE" so i can access my files on my External {SD Card} and Internal Files {Phone Memory}.

    I go to MY COMPUTER to view either External or Internal Drives, The SD CARD shows on My Computer where i can Open and View my files. but for the phone storage i cannot open and view my files, as It shows this Error: "Please Insert Disk Into (Iusb drive not showing on computer :). but this
    should never do this before.

    I would like to have some assistance in solving this problem

    thank you

    usb drive not showing on computer

    Hi, forgive the obvious questions:
    1. does any other device work on your USB ports?
    2. is the drive receiving power when connected - e.g. an LED on or sound?
    3. can you swap the USB lead, and if so, have you tried it?
    4. does the drive work on any other PC?

    (I use external drives - no problem).
