1) Connect phone to PC and mount as external USB drive. Copy all the contents off the SD card onto the PC.
2) Un-mount from your PC

New Android and Smart Phone user here. I'm having the SD card problem. The apps that I have loaded to the SD card suddenly disappear and I get message "application is not installed on your phone." I went to the local sprint store but they were little help. Two days ago the phone froze after overnight charging and I got it going again by pulling the battery. This morning I got the update sent to my phone and after installation all was good again with the SD card apps. Now tonight they are gone again.
I just got a 16G micro SD card that I can use to replace the one that came with the phone. I'd like to know how I should proceed?
I apologize for the simple question, but I'm not sure how to hook the phone up wo my Windows 7 PC to copy the SD card contents. When I hooked it up with the USB cable it said I needed to install a Windows driver on my phone my I wasn't sure if I should do that. I'm thinking I could copy the contents, install the new micro SD card in my phone, and then download the contents from my computer via usb.
Any help with some advise on how to proceed, or how to hook up to my computer would be appreciated. Sorry if this question is so basic, but I wasn't sure where would be a better place to ask.
