Hi dude.

I dont know what phone you are using or what version of Android. On i9000 running Android 2.1 you can go to Settings -> About Phone -> USB Connection. Set this to Ask on Connection - Then plug your USB cable in. If you choose SD-card you have to mount it via the top drop down menu and press mount. This will connect your SD-card as a normal harddrive and then you are good to go.

This may work on other phones too.

SD Card does not appear on the drop down menu

When you have set it to Ask on USB connection plug in your USB cable. Choose Mass Storage from the menu. In the drop down menu there will be a USB Connected message - click on that and choose mount.
