I have 2 PCs linked on my home wireless network. One is a desktop (Desktop1)
and the second is a laptop (Laptop1). Both PCs have their drives shared, so
each other PC can access each others.
On the desktop, I have 3 hardrives installed (C: - 160 gig, D: - 160 gig and
E: - 80 gig). The 80gig hardisk can be accessed by the laptop without any
problems. But for some reason, the laptop cannot access the 2 160gig
hardrives on the desktop. The desktop can access all the drives on the
laptop without any problems at all.
When I try to access the 2 160gig hardrives on the desktop, I get an error
saying the drives are not available and to ensure I have permissions setup.
Yet the drives are shared out and can be seen on the laptop when I explore
the workgrop. I just cannot access them.
Someone told me that it might have something to do with the size of the
hardrives themself. For some reason, Windows cannot share large capacities
and I might have to partition these hardives down.
Have anyone had this problem before and managed to reolve it?
PC specs:
Desktop:
P4 - 2.53ghz
Windows XP Pro (SP 2)
1 gig memory
3 hardives (160 gig, 160 gig & 80 gig)
128 meg display card
Laptop:
P4m - 2.4 ghz
Windows XP Pro (SP 2)
750 meg memory
1 hardive (partioned: 10gig * 3)
64 meg display card.
Home Network:
Home portal 1000 (wireless running on G protocol)
Thanks in advance.
