Windows 7 can't find my internal memory

[KillerG]

So I went to go put some stuff on my internal memory today, and I plug it in, and it doesn't see the internal memory. It sees the 16GB SD card, but not the internal one. I want to drop some stuff in there to install to my apps (the fixed skype mostly), but it won't let me. Anyone got any idea why I can't see it? I have a Lenovo Y560 running Windows 7 Home Premium.
EDIT: I reset the device and it worked, but I had to reset it 3 times to get it to work. This same thing happened yesterday.

Do you have your USB connection as "Windows Media Sync"?

The only way I can get the internal memory card to show up in windows is to shut the phone down, remove the external SD card, then restart and it will show up. I've started using File Expert to transfer my files over wireless because this is such a big hassle.

I think PC mode let's you see the internal storage.

It often shows up when I'm in USB Mass Storage mode, and it SHOULD. But often it doesn't. So it's off and on working, I just plugged it in right now to add another app to the internal storage and it didn't show up. PC Mode puts the internal and external memory together in one, so I just made a folder to tell where it's going using a file explorer on my internal memory. Hopefully it'll keep working, but this has been finicky too.

When I connect in USB mass storage mode, my computer automatically pops up with three different drives being recognized for my phone. The first is the system partition you can't do anything with, the second is the internal storage, and then the third is the sd card. It comes up drives :k :l and :m usually.

If I'm lucky, I get my internal and external cards. I never get the system partition though, that's interesting that you do...are you rooted?

I have this exact same problem. Initially, USB mode let me see both internal (sdcard) and external (sdcard-ext)memory. Once, PC mode allowed me to see and access internal memory, but no longer. I've tried rebooting both my Win 7 pc and the phone multiple times, also removing and replacing the SD Card. My results are all over the place, with most of the time internal memory not being accessible.

Same thing, saw three different areas the first time I plugged it in and never again. I have tried every USB mode and only SD card comes up. Haven't tried pulling the card though.

Yeah. I'm having the same problem on XP. I think this is a droid bug. Is there some report system for that.

Uhh. It put me on the next page, hopefully people will still read this.

Ah. Just found the problem. For some reason the droid has conflicting drive names. Had another drive called H and when I opened it I was confused because instead of seeing the normal stuff on the drive, I saw the droid internal memory. So I just went to change the letter of that drive and now I can access my internal memory.
