Not getting "mount" option when hooking up usb connecttion.

Could this be because I don't get cell reception @ home? I live in the middle of nowhere, when connectong phone to comp via usb cable I do not receive the mount option.do a need a cell signal in order to do this?

No cell signal is needed. Do you get the debugging notification?

I don't believe so. The only notification I get is usb connection.

Alright try this: menu>applications>development>USB debugging. Make sure that box is checked. If not tap on it. Tap home then try to connect via USB. You should get a notification that USB debugging is on and another notification that you can tap on to connect to your computer. Tap on that, wait for a few seconds then it should tell you you are connected. To double check go to My Computer and look for "removable storage device". That's your phone. Good Luck and let me know if this works for you.

Ok,I followed the instructions,turned on the usb debugging,recieved debugging notification.My comp recognized my phone and I uploaded pics from my phone to comp.Is this what you meant by a "notification that phone is connected"?I still am not seeing the mount option.When I tap on the usb connection my options are;PC mode,Windows media sync,USB mass storage and charge only.

Did you try the windows media sync? Sounds like it would transfer all your music for you.

You don't get a mount option with a D2, just an OG Droid. You want to choose USB Mass Storage. This makes your phone's SD card show up as an external drive, just like a flash drive or USB hard drive.
