Help I have many a question.

I RECIEVED THE NEWEST (I THINK) VERSION OF THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S.
Until about five hours ago I had no idea about Androids or SD Cards or etcetera...Turns out my perception of my tech skillz is not what I thought it was.
After spending the day having a play around with my new phone I have come to many dead ends and my brain is full of questions.

My main question is how to sync my phone to my computer (it's a windows vista pc). I want to be able to share mp3 files from my pc to my phone.

I googled, facebooked and youtubed.

YouTube - Samsung kies wont connect my samsung galaxy s!? (fix!)
She was vaugely helpful until it got to the Mounting stage.
I have no idea how to get my phone to "Mount"...


Right now I am looking at my drop down menu and there are two outgoing tasks.
USB Connected
Select to copy files to/from your computer
USB Debugging Connected
Select to disable USB debugging.


In the video she says to tap "USB Connected" and then the phone is supposed to give you the option to mount but instead one of your green android robot thingos come up with the message
USB Connected
Phone connected to computer via USB, Tap the button below to copy files between the computer and SD card.

I do so. It loads for two seconds then comes up with another android robot thingo except it is orange and the message
USB Storage in use
Disconnect SD card from computer before disconnecting USB storage

My only option on that screen is to tap the "turn off" button below the message and orange droid.

When I tap the "turn off" option it goes back to the previous message with the green android image.

HALP (:

Welcome!!

I personally use dropbox to easily get files from pc to phone.... (have a link in my sig below)
BUT if you wanna 'mount' your phone you just plug into pc and switch from 'charge only' to 'disk drive' then your mounted. (it should say charge only in your drop down notification box, click it and you should get option to switch to disk drive)
 
2.1 firmware had mount option. 2.2 and above have green and orange androids. your doing everything right, when it shows the orange android your mounted. if you then look at your pc drives it will show your phone. you can drag what you want to phone now. dont forget to unmount before unplugging. when unmounted android will be green.
