Some users who own the Blackberry Curve occasionally report instances of the mass storage unit malfunctioning. When the smart phone is powered on, they cannot see the icon for the microSD card on the menu. If you cannot see or click on the mass storage icon, you cannot use the microSD to save files. The problem stems from software corruption, which you can fix by reinstalling the driver.
Step 1: Power on your Blackberry Curve and set it aside (do not plug it into the computer yet).
Step 2: Turn on your computer. Go to "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management."
Step 3: Click on the "Device Manager," which shows you all of the disc drives on your system. Unless you have installed a second hard drive, you will only see "C:" drive.
Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the Blackberry and the other end into your computer.
Step 5: Right-click on the Blackberry icon that pops up on your screen.
Step 6: Select "Uninstall" to remove the driver. Wait for your computer to restart. You will get a message on your computer that says "New Device Found," which means that the driver is reinstalling itself.
Step 7: Unplug your Blackberry Curve after the driver is finished installing itself. You should now be able to see your mass storage icon.
