Make the phone appears as a regular USB stick (ie "K:\SD card") under windows 7

Hi there,

My xperia phone appears, in windows 7, as a "portable device" or "portable media player"

So, i'm looking for a way to get my phone to appears in windows 7 as a regular USB stick with a regular drive letter (E:\ H:\ K:\)

because many SW cannot acces it (SD card or internal mem) unless i provide a standard drive access "K:\SD Card"

all i get now is : "Computer\Xperia SP\SD Card" not SW usable/reachable

Any clue?

thanks

Change the usb connection mode to mass storage.

Good idea!!

but how to do it?

I've tried to enable USB debugging in the settings --> developer options, but no luck... yet

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

note : how to enable your "developer options" in the settings menu :

settings --> about phone --> build number

(Click 7 times on "build number" and you'll enable the "settings --> developer option"
