20      Getting started      

Connecting your phone to a computer

Whenever you connect your phone to a computer using the USB cable, a selection screen 
opens on your phone and prompts you to choose the type of USB connection. You can 
select one of the following choices:

Charge only

Select this option if you only want to charge the battery while your phone 
is connected to your computer.

HTC Sync

Select this option to synchronize contacts, calendar, and other information 
between your computer and your phone. For more information, see the 
HTC Sync chapter.

Disk drive

This mode is available only when there’s a microSD card on your phone. 
Select this mode when you want to copy files between your phone’s 
storage card and your computer. For more information, see “Copying files 
to or from the storage card”.
When 

Disk drive mode is enabled while your phone is connected to the 

computer, you will not be able to use applications on your phone to 
access the storage card.

Copying files to or from your storage card

1.  Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with your 

phone.

2.  On the USB connected screen, tap Disk drive, and then tap OK.

3.  On your computer, the connected phone is recognized as a removable disk (just like 

any USB drive). Open this removable disk so you can see what’s inside the microSD 
card.

While the phone’s storage card is connected to the computer as a USB drive, you won’t be 
able to use applications on your phone to access the storage card.

4.  Copy files from your computer to your phone’s storage card, or copy files from the 

storage card to your computer.

5.  After copying, unmount the removable disk (that is, the connected phone) as required 

by your computer’s operating system to safely remove your phone.
