Help New to Android; SD-Card and Windows Explorer

Newbie
I don't know if I'm been dense, but I assume if I have an SD card fitted in my new S2 I should be able to manage the files in it via Windows explorer when connected to it with a USB lead.

- I have a 4Gig card fitted
- In Settings-Storage-SD Card I mounted and formatted the card; its showing as Availible Space 3.69GB.
- When I connect the USB lead, the "MTP application" starts and I get the USB plug screen and "connected" on the s2's screen.
- In windows the "camera connected" dialogue pops up.
- In my computer the phone appears as a camera "GT-I9100".
- If I right click "explore" the GT-I9100 camera I see the folder structure of what i assume is the internal storage.

Buit I cant see the sd card?

Any help please

Cheers Daz; spot on

For the Information of others, You have to start this with the USB lead disconnected!

Edit:
I may have spoken too soon; I have two Removable Disks in My computer now, but they both return "please insert a disk into drive....." when I try to open them.

any ideas?
 
wat daz_2000 said should work.. im surprised that it didnt. however, in the first method that u tried, via MTP connection.. u see the device called GT-I9100... open that, thats ur internal SD card, but under that, u will find a folder called external_sd... thats ur external memory :)
