Noobish: Connect to PC

Newbie
I'm trying to connect my phone to PC and use the "Disk drive" mode but it doesn't seem to be working. When i connect the phone to my comp using USB, i get no dialog box asking if i want to choose Disk drive or the other options. I have my default connection type set to Disk drive and I have the Ask Me checkbox checked. When i do plug in the phone, I get an E: and F: drive, which I assume are the SDcard and the Phone Memory (?), but it tells me i need to insert a disk into the drive when i click to view/explore one of these drives. I tried unmounting the SD card to see if that was the problem, but no dice. And as a side note, the Unmount SD Card and Unmount Phone Storage in the Settings -> Connect to PC menu, but neither one of those options is apparently doing anything, i had to unmount by going to the Setting -> SD Card & phone storage menu.

So, anyway, any idea what i'm missing/doing wrong? Or what might be wrong?

Turn your "USB Debugging" on (check mark) and see if that helps.
