Did you check options when plugged in as you have option to mount etc.?

I have never got a mount option on the incredible, it just used to say, "you have connected your phone to a computer what do you want to do?", and it would have four options: charge only, Use as mass storage device, local area broadband(something like that), and one more. Nothing changes but the charge icon, its basically just like i am plugging it into the wall jack.
