Need help with file sharing

[andrew_aj1]

I have a computer with windows xp set up as a file server and as a media center. i have three hard drives, the first has windows installed on it and other apps, the second contains videos and the third is mounted into a folder on the second called music.

ex.

first C:\ Windows and apps

second D:\ Movies

third D:\Music Music

I want to be able to share the D drive so i can access my movies and music on other coptuers in my house. When i enable file sharing on the drive it allows me to play all my movies, but when i try to access the files in the music folders i get this error:

Media\Music\ filename or folder is not accessible. You might now have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Access is denied.

On the share i have full access to everything. When i access the folder on the server itself i have no problems at all, but when i try to access it from any of my other compuers i get that error. I hope that someone out there knows the answer for this.

Thanks,

Andrew

right click on my computer go to manage, then left click on disk management right click on disk2 (probably in your case) click chnage drive letters and paths, and then make sure that you have set it up as a drive as well. XP does not like sharing of dynamic disks inside a standard disk. 2k and 2k3 handle it much better. Then just go through the regular sharing process. it should allow you access as a share the the drive / directory but not through the link, because that is resolved locally to the machine, not over the network.

Another way, which I dont recommend. Is to make all you disks dynamic. Then share again and it will work.
