Hi I bought N91 a month ago it was awesome.
but now I am in serious trouble when i try to connect the phone in "Mass Storage" Mode it display a warning "Unable to connect because the Hard Drive is in Use by another application".
When I tried to format the Drive using default Hard Drive Manager it displyed "Hard Disk not available", it correctly showed the drive info but refused to format.
I closed all apps, restarted the phone several times, used Application Managers, Formated(Hard/Soft) the phone memory but no luck. I use * #7370# but it has trouble.

It cant detect any type of file on gallery from hard drive.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Hi,

Like I have said before you can solve this with a Hard reset and a format. I believe you posted in the Nokia Discussion forum as well saying a 3rd party app caused this after bing installed. Look at these tips

Cheers

Also in addiion: HDD unavailable or in use another tip
If its older sw then make sure your active theme is not installed on the HDD (choose thedefault theme) Also it could be some application is holding the HDD file system at the lower level. Some more ideas:
HDD unavailable or in use another tip
[*] turn off the phone
[*]Removed back cover
[*]Restarted phone
[*]after restarting put the back cover
[*]format hard disk

You have probably selected HDD for storing messages. Go to messaging, options, settings, scroll to Other and select Memory in use as Phone Memory. This should solve your problem.

buddy before connecting data cable change message memory to phone.press and hold menu key to detect open applications.if u cant exit delete all 3rd party applications by moving joystick over it and press c.
