I found myself in a situation where i couldn't copy almost anything to my phones storage, both SD and external SD. Ive been constantly loosing connection while copying files. It seem that the latest driver or new firmware 2.3.4 is messed up.

That was when Phone was connected to PC as a...phone.

But, hey, there is BUT. You can connect your phone as...USB storage device :D

Go to Settings-->Wireless and network-->USB utilities and choose Connect storage to PC, while having popup saying: Connect USB cable to use mass storage plug usb into the phone and click Connect USB storage and confirm.

This way both phones SD cards will be visible in system as any other USB drive or pen-drive. IN this mode you will not be disconnected and you will have more operations on files and folders available! :)

Hope you will find it useful! :)
 
worked until the screen timed out, actually that seems to be the root of all my connection problems, when the screen times out.
