Default [Q] Won't connect to PC?

I'm having problems getting the phone to mount 100% of the time in Mass Storage mode. Occasionally it'll connect, but especially it seems when it's plugged in with the EVO it just won't get a connection. It charges fine, it shows up as a drive, but it doesn't give me access to any files or anything.

I'm using the USB drivers from the Samsung webpage specifically for the Epic 4G.

Try that. For some reason I couldn't mount my phone as a drive until I turned off USB debugging. Settings -> applications -> development (i believe)

I have windows 7 64bit and it works every single time now. I've transferred tons of stuff. I never even formatted my card.

I couldn't get it to connect (driver installed incorrectly etc) when connecting the phone to the front port of my PC, but it worked immediately when I plugged it into the rear of the desktop.

USB debugging has been disabled, used multiple ports, etc. and still having problems. Reinstalled drivers, manually added drivers, nothing is biting. I've also tried disabling driver signing, doing everything I can with that off and still nothing. Windows 7 Ult 64-bit in case you're curious.

Just got my Epic and had the same problem. Oddly enough though it worked with other USB ports on my computer, just not the front/top ports.

I've seen this problem before, I just cant remember where though.

Hmm, i have a Mac and the memory card is not mounting at all. had to take out microSD card and use USB card reader. Had no problems with other HTC Android phones connecting to my Mac (Hero, Evo).
