I was given two Samsung Galaxy Ace 1's after my parents upgraded. I was interested to try and see if I could install Cyanogenmod on the phone, however when I plug the phone into the computer, i cannot acces it. It is recognised as a phone and i installed the correct drivers but in Windows Explorer, the phone just comes up as Removable Disk (G: ) which is greyed out and when I double click on it, it says 'Please insert a disc into Removable Disk (G: ) (http://postimg.org/image/cf2f5e0iz/). Also on the phone when I plug it in, it doesn't say anything about USB Mass Storage in the notification bar on the phone, all it does is charge the phone. It is the same with both of the phones. In Device Manager it is recognised as an Android Device (http://postimg.org/image/j05cpop5v/) I have installed Samsung Kies to try and access the phone but it also won't let me access them. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers a couple of times but it didn't do anything and another computer but it does the same thung. Not sure why it won't let me access them, is there anything that I can do to access them?

I haven't install Cynageonmod yet, I need to access the storage on the phone on the computer to copy across the zip file which I can't do. Also in the notification area there is nothing that pops up about mass storage mode. is there anything I can do to access it
