“My Blackberry won’t show up on my PC Explorer as a drive.”
Chances are that this option is just disabled. You can check by going to Options then Memory. Make sure that Mass Storage Mode Support is set to “On” and Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected is set to Prompt or Yes. If for some reason these options are enabled then we may need to have a follow up question and answer. Let us know if this works for you in the comments.
Thanks for the question Steve B.

FYI, if you have set this option and still don’t see a new drive letter [and you're using XP (probably similar on Vista)]:
right click on My Computer
click Manage
click Disk Management
– look in there for any drives that do not have drive letters
– right click on the drive (partition)
– click on Drive Letters and Paths
assign an unused drive letter, OK and close out, and you should be set.
Hey Joe,
Is there any way to save your changes to a theme i.e. text size, font, icon locations etc?
Does this also work for Blackberry 8700g wit OS 4.1?
Doesn’t work on my AT&T Bold. Have tried several different OS versions as well and I get nothing. Works fine with my Curve.
AT&T sucks.
very informative,
here I have a good place , there are so many kinds of beautiful and powerful consumer electronics that you can finds out whatever you need!
that is : tradestead , believe it will not let you down!
Ms -
I’ve got the bold also. I can’t get it to show up under Windows, Mac, or Linux…
I’m seconding the “AT&T sucks” sentiment.
It ain’t just AT&T. I have the same problem with the Storm on Verizon. My wife’s Pearl works fine though. I’m now under the impression that Mass Storage mode either works or doesn’t. There is no answer to why.
