I created My Photos, Documents, Videos on the SD card and want to use it as a source. It wont add the SD card b/c its a removable. Anybody find a way around this?

Can you better explain how you did this? I am not understanding/finding the options mentioned.I was able to figure this out with a work around that you can find at this site. I have to say I am impressed with the functionality of the RT device. pretty robust configuration capability....

Why didn't I think of that! I was almost ready to return the Surface over this (to get a 64GB model ��.
You can access computer management by holding on Computer in the library folders of the desktop mode. I created a folder called media on the root of c:, then held computer, chose manage, then disk management. From there, hold the sd drive for a second and choose change drive letter... The link above explains the rest.
you shouldn't change the drive mapping, add a new one to the existing sd card drive
then it works as expected for other stuff
Does anyone have any idea how we can change the download path of Xbox music to the sdcard?
I followed your instructions and it still doesn't recognize the music.Just for the sake of clarity, here are the exact steps I took:
1 - create a folder on the c: drive to use for this "mapping." I created c:\media
2 - Open the library folders in desktop mode
3 - Long press, or right click using a mouse, on Computer in the left pane and choose manage.
4 - Once the MMC opens select Disk Management in the left pane
5 - Long press, or right click using a mouse, on the drive object for the SD card and select Change Drive Letters and Paths... option
6 - Select the add option and browse the folder you created on C: then select ok, and ok again.
7 - Go back to libraries, long press or right click the library that matches the content you wish to include from the SD (i.e. music, videos, pictures) and choose properties.
8 - Add the location to the subfolder (on c:\media\music in my example for music content) to the library and it will then show up in the music, video, or pictures metro apps
9 - Enjoy the added storage for your libraries!
I just moved my users directories to the SDcard. Just go to a user folder (like Downloads) right click, go to properties and location tab. Change the directory and hit apply, it will move things for you too.I followed your instructions and it still doesn't recognize the music.
Also has anyone experienced problem pairing the Surface with your Windows Phone via Bluetooth?
Is it showing up on Xbox Music? There's no locations tab with the Music Library. I wish this was seamless. Still not working for me. The sales representative said all we had to do was put in the card.Yes yes moved save location to sd card for music, only trick is finding the download button in Xbox music
So now I am not upset I didn't get 64gb surface
