N900 in Windows via USB only has one working drive
 

When I plug my N900 into Windows in storage mode, it gives me two new drives - F: (Nokia N900) and G:.

F is the main storage and works fine, but when I try to open G: it asks me to insert a disk into G:.

The weird thing is I'm sure this used to work pre-1.2 PR, so I'm wondering if this has boned it, or I've done something weird in the meantime to make it stop working?

Basically I want to be able to access the root fs with the MyDocs directory, directly from Windows via USB.

Thanks!

Another drive is micro sd (as it was before pr 1.2) and i have understood that you can only access your mydocs folder from windows.

.edit
IIRC Rootfs filesystem is not supported by windows.

Oh yeh, duh. Sorry, I thought I had my MicroSD card in there but for some reason I have taken it out - that's what I remember working pre-1.2, not the MyDocs stuff.

I'll figure out another way to access MyDocs, thanks!

edit: actually now I've actually opened my eyes and looked at what is going on and I've figured out the drive that is getting opened is actually MyDocs anyway. Duh.

What? You do not need to figure another way to access your Mydocs (documents,video,sound). Just plug and play. As I said you cannot access rootfs system because of different file-system.

this happened to me before. try to reboot or switch it off then plug the usb.

The first one is your /home/MyDocs folder (on the 32 GB storage), and the second one is your MicroSD card (if you have one in your N900).

Yes, they were there in PR 1.1, too.

As for the rootfs, you can easily access that with SSH with WinSCP.
(I ususally connect it via USB and select USB ethernet mode in the Mad Developer app.)

That sometimes happens to me, and it's because the memory card is in use by the phone.

I usually get a message on the phone screen as well.

The trick is working out exactly what is using the memory card. In any event a reboot should sort it.
