Android can't read file system Samsung Galaxy S Captivate from my PC

Question

My Samsung Galaxy S Captivate crashes on bootup and I need to read the log dump which is stored on the files system. Problem is I cannot seem to see the phone as SD from my windows 7 PC. I have USB connected which is good and can deploy to the phone an apk, but I cannot access the file system. How do I access the file system on this phone. Thanks

Answer 1

If you're using Eclipse, and don't want to mount the SD every time (to keep debugging), you can do the following:[Window->Show view->other->android->file explorer / hierarchy view] (don't remember the exact name.)

Answer 2

Connect your phone to USB of your PC, on your phone, find and touch proper Notification message to mount SD card.
