BlackBerry® Pearl™

My 8120 recognizes the SanDisk 8GB MicroSD, but after trying many PCs none recognizes it as a removable drive when connected via USB cable.

* Device Manager works correctly, syncs, updates.
* BlackBerry OS v4.5.0.174 (Platform 2.7.0.105)- I have formated the MicroSD from the phone succesfully

* Can explore Media Card folders and Save Videos and Photos
* Bluetooth connects with phone correctly, yet no media transfer allowed.

* Media Card configuration: 

- Media Card Support: ON

- Mass Storage Mode Support: ON

- Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: ON

- Total Space: 7.3GB

I have powered the phone off and on with the MicroSD.

Is there anything I can do to move files to my MicroSD on the phone?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried a card reader?

macska thanks for your reply!

I'll buy one and try it today. However, even if that works, it would be much better to be able to sync my media contents directly to my phone while connected with the USB cable. Any suggestions on what can I do to make this work?

I tried with an old card reader with no luck... leaning to think it might be all about the card being MicroSDHC and not just MicroSD.

I'll try to find a MicroSDHC card reader to confirm this and get back with my findings.

I confirmed that with the proper MicroSD HC USB reader the card works on all PCs. Sadly I guess I'll never be able to sync music and other media files via USB cable on any of this "old" PCs.

Hope this information helps to anyone on the same issue.

Thanks to everyone that replied!
