OK, I think that we are making some progress.
I am now able to see the storage card as a drive (without a letter) and am able to copy files to it via windows explorer. This is what you need to do (all credit to the guys over at xda-developers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&postcount=93). This will work on Win 7
- Make sure your WinPh7 device is not plugged in and your Zune software isn’t running
- Open up Regedit by going to the start menu and selecting “run”. Type regedt32 and hit “OK”
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet002\Enum\USB\
- Search for “PortableDeviceNameSpace”. This should be contained in the Vid_####&Pid_####\########_-_########_-_########_-_########\Device Parameters within the above …\USB\ The ##’s listed here will be numbers and letters specific to your Zune.
- Change the following values:
* EnableLegacySupport to 1
* PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell to 0
* ShowInShell to 1
- Plug in your Zune, and make sure the Zune Software starts up.
Repeat this for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet\Enum\USB\
You will have your device listed in Win Explorer WITHOUT any drive letter. But you can copy files and folders onto this drive.
To see the contents of this folder make sure that you also change the following on your windows machine:
under windows 7 :
goto folder options (control panel-folder options)
goto "view"
select "Display the full path in the title bar (classic theme only)
@Kovid: Now that the device is visible as a drive I am attaching the two outputs from Calibre (0.7.28) to see if a driver can be written for a WinPh7 device (my hardware is HTC HD7)
