Help How to mount mytouch as a drive from a PC

Brewe

Lurker
I am having trouble getting either of my computers to see my mytouch4g.

PC1 Desktop w/ Vista

PC2 Laptop wWin7 64bit

tethering won't work, but those directions are what shows up when searching tmobile's site.

I have seen here where one can go into storage, and usb and set it as a drive, but I do not have that option under storage.

I seem to be missing something basic, please help. This is just plain embarrasing to not be able to do this.
 
In Settings there should be a Connect to PC selection. Select that and there is a Default Connection Type selection - the only one. Select that and touch Disk Drive.
 
I have no connect to PC option, or anything that even looks close in my settings.

I have (in order)
Wireless & networks
Call settings
Sound
Display
Power saving mode
Location & security
Applications
Accounts & sync
Storage
Language & keyboard
Voice input & output
Accessibility
Date & time
About phone
Model number T-mobile myTouch Q
Android version 2.3.6
 
Try this:

go under Storage. Select the first option, Mass storage only, when your phone is hooked up via USB to your computer.

This should allow you to browse the phone as a drive on the PC. You may have to confirm this option on the phone and on the PC before you can browse.
