Use the Phone's microSD Card as a USB Drive

To transfer music, pictures, and other files from your computer to your phone's microSD card,
you need to set the phone's microSD card as a USB drive.
1. Connect the phone to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
2. From the Notification Panel, select USB connected notification and tap Connect USB
storage.
3. On your computer, the connected phone is recognized as a removable disk. Navigate to
this removable disk and open it.
Note: Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) - compatible phones display as a phone within Microsoft
Windows Explorer, rather than a drive. They also support AutoSync, allowing you to use
Windows Media Player to transfer content to an MTP-compatible phone when connected
to your computer. You can customize AutoSync to only transfer content meeting
specified criteria. In addition, any files changed on the phone itself are transferrable to
the computer upon reconnection.
Microsoft Windows XP requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher to support MTP.
Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Vista sensor platforms automatically support MTP.
4. Do one of the following:
Copy files from the computer to the root folder on the phone's storage card.
Copy files from the phone's storage card to a folder on your computer or computer
desktop.
5. After copying the files, unmount the removable disk (that is, the connected phone) as
required by your computer's operating system to safely remove your phone, and do
either of the following:
From the Notification Panel, select Turn off USB storage and tap Disconnect
storage from PC.
Disconnect the phone from the computer.
Note: The phone will not recognize the microSD card when it is connected to a computer as a
disk drive. You will not be able to use some of the phone's applications such as the
camera or Music.
