im having problems seeing my memory stick on my pc. i have had it visible once or twice after installation of the pc suite, but after i disconnect the phone i am unable to get the drive to appear again or get the phone to be racognised as 'connected' in the file manager.


any help would be greatly appreciated

are you safely removing the drive before you unplug either the phone or the usb lead?

surely if you are disconnecting the phone, then your pc won't be able to see the drive? you need to keep the phone connect?! or am i reading this wrong?

dreamfish you are reading this wrong.

hey, from reading a post you made about connecting via usb and the drive showing up under removable drives on a pc, i was wondering if you had any advice for me.

i have had my k750 connected to my pc only twice. these were both after installing the pc suite. after i had disconnected my phone, when i tried to get it to connect again, it wont recognise it. i have tried numerous times to get it to recognise it by un-connect and re-connecting it. the strange thing is, windows xp makes the noise when something is newly connected to it each time i plug the usb cable in, yet it fails to recognise my phone or the mem stick as a drive.

I have had problems too but this is what I do now....

connect phone to pc via usb lead.
double click on the sony ericsson file manager that I installed from my pc suite.
wait for it to connect then move stuff to my removable drive
when I'm finished I remove drive safely.

I have had no problems doing it this way although first couple of times I tried it I had to uninstall the pc suite and reinstall.

It's a pity FMA doesn't work for the k750i yet!

thanks for your suggections beeb.

at the moment i have i now managed to get it working. i find i cannot disconnect the reconnect. what i have to do is ;

1. start pc without k750 connected
2. plug k750 into usb
3. it will then recognise it
4. transfer stuff
5. safely remove hardware

i cannot safely remove, and reconnect without having to restart to get my pc to recognise it again

thats strange because I can safely disconnect and then reconnect with no problems!

in the bottom right of your screen does it show a black phone with a flashing yellow tick (when the phone is connecting) and then a green tick (when connected)?

Thats the way I tell if I'm connected or not. I think pc suite is a bit unstable sometimes.....

should be a yellow flashing tick when it is trying to connect and a still green tick when it is connected. I'm using windows xp service pack 2.
