I was helping someone today to put some documents on their Blackberry Bold 9000 and for some reason when I connected it to my PC I a drive letter was assigned to the Blackberry itself but not the SD card. Doing a bit of Googling it seems that this is a hige problem for users and there were hundreds of hits for this exact problem -- including people trying to use the Roxio Media Manager. In any case, one post had the answer that worked for me and here is the step by step solution:
1. Click Start>Run and then type: compmgmt.msc
2. Select Disk Management
3. In the right panel you should see both the Blackberry and the SD card as separate devices
4. Right click the SD card and select: Change Drive Letter and Paths
5. Click "Change" and then select the drive letter you want to assign to the device. Make sure that you do not assign an already assigned drive letter. If in doubt, right click your My Computer icon on the desktop and choose Map Network drive, then open the dropdown for the drives and note one of the unassigned drive letters.
6. Click OK
Hopefully you'll now be able to see the SD card and can treat it like any other USB drive. All in all this is way better than using the Roxio Media Manager app(which is a 200MB+ download!). But in any case once you've assigned the drive properly Roxio should now be able to access the drive as well.
