Connecting your phone to a computer
Whenever you connect your phone to a computer using the USB
cable, the Connect to PC dialog box displays and prompts you to
choose the type of USB connection. Select one of the following
choices, and then tap Done:
Charge only
Select this mode if you only want to charge the phone’s battery using
your computer.
HTC Sync
When selected, the phone automatically uses HTC Sync when
connected to your computer and lets you synchronize Outlook and
Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar
events between your computer and your phone. For more information,
see “Using HTC Sync” in the Accounts and sync chapter.
Disk drive
This mode is available only when you have installed a microSD card on
your phone. Select this mode when you want to use your storage card
as a USB thumb drive, and copy files between your phone’s storage
card and your computer.
When Disk Drive mode is enabled while your phone is connected to
the computer, you will not be able to run applications that use the
storage card, such as Music or Photos. For more information, see
“Copying files to and from the storage card” in this chapter.
