Problem with USB Mass Storage - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I bought mine Galaxy yesterday, and now i found a serious problem!
I have 8gb (SanDISK) memory card and when i connect the USB cable (the original one) to the phone and give "mount" on the screen nothing appears on the PC (the PC is with WinXP)...the mass storage is missing!
On the phone itself all seems OK, i can enter in the SDCard, see and install apk., etc..
I will appreciate some help! Thanks!

Try turning on USB debugging in the applications menu and rebooting. Worked for me.

anyone?!?
thanks for all those who tried to help me in this post, i was expecting this much of help in this huge forum .. =D
Copy all your files off the card, format it on the phone, copy them all back
If the computer is not recognising the phone itself, try a USB port that has more power or use a double plug cable (like the ones which come with USB hard drives)

Cannot for the life of me connect to Mac or Windows

I have bought a used Bell Galaxy S Vibrant and for the life of me it will not connect to my Macbook, I tried Windows at my friends place and same thing.
I have tried turning USB Debugging on, off, set USB settings to Kies/Mass Storage etc....
Can anyone help me connect to my Mac so I can root and unlock this thing?
Model- GT-I9000M
Firmware- 2.1 -update1
Kernal- 2.6.29
Build #: ECLAIR.UGJG9
Come on,
Anyone?
I dont know if this will help ...
I was originally able to connect my phone to Kies and then something happened that stopped it connecting. When I plugged in the USB cable, Windows didnt make the sound it usually does when a USB device is found.
I finally realised that this had only started happening after I had installed an SD card in the phone. The SD card was formatted with my old Windows Mobile phone. If I unmounted the external SD card using the settings menu then reconnect phone to PC it is now recognised as a USB device and Kies connects. Something about the format of this SD card was stopping the USB connection working.
I reformatted the external SD card in the phone and now it connects ok with the SD card installed still.
Maybe your problem is similar?
For the Mac, you need usb debugging turned on. Look in settings, applications, development.
I needed that to mount the usb storage on my Mac.

thanks for the tips gents
turns out it was a bum USB cable...yeah
So I got root now I need to unlock, I got the unlock code but it keeps coming up "unsuccessful"
Ok I got it
After I applied the 3 button combo fix, I rebooted into recovery and did a factory wipe, entered the code at the prompt and viola

[Q] Can't get windows to see my sd cards as drives

The two drives show up in My Computer but when I click both it tells me to insert a disk into the drive. I've tried turning usb debugging on and off and the phone is set to mass storage so I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm running windows vista 32 bit and 99% sure I have the drivers installed but I will reinstall once more to make sure.
After you connect to your computer as mass storage do you then click to connect USB on your phone?
