windows 7 wont mount

[ryguy5254]

No problems with 84 (or 86, or 32) windows 7 on my desktop, nor my windows 7 64 laptop.

I haven't had any problem with my windows 7 and droid. Are you trying to mount the sdcard or are you using adb?

Try and mount his droid on your win7?

we may try that. the problem is he lives 45 mins away, so we haven't had time to hook up and try yet. I told him to go over one of his closer buddies and see if it will mount to somebody elses computer, just to see if it is his phone or not.

I have literally 3 comps running W7 and it mounts on all of them. Sorry. I did need to install the driver from Motorola's site in order to get some of the advanced link-ups to work.

Win 7 64bit here also

Plugged in my phone the day I got it, mounted and all was good.

You have something wrong with your phone, or your Win 7 installation is causing an issue.

Edit: no installation of any drivers either from Motorola's website.

Tell him to try installing the newest update of Java. makes no sense, but mine did not work until I did this.

I use windows 7 home premium 64 bit and have never had an issue. Also, the drivers loaded right away the first time so the "takes forever on windows 7" statement is not true.
There should be no need for additional drivers. Assuming this person knows what they are doing, it sounds like a conflict. When they plug it in and select mount, have the gone into administrative tools and then to computer management and on to disk management? This will list all attached drives and including the Droid. If it is listed there then you probably have a conflict somewhere. If he has a multiport card reader etc there sometimes can be drive letter issues although windows 7 does not typically have this issue.
If it was a clean install vs upgrade then I doubt it is a windows 7 issue.

If you upgraded from another OS instead of a clean install, then you're probably having the same problems that I have been having.

I posted a workaround in the tech support forum though.

Do any of you have a netbook? Like an HP mini or anything? Cause I was wondering how hard it would be to run a dual boot of like Ubuntu and Windows....
