I have a laptop and a pc xphome on both. I have set up several shares on the
pc, that the laptop can access. I have 2 external hdd's N: and O:. I can
access N: and the files ok, but O: that is setup to share exactly the same, I
can only browse. I cqn open each folder on the drive, ans see the files, but
when trying to open I get Access is Denied message.
Please help.
 
That is a typical message caused by firewalls. You can test whether or
not firewalls are causing the problem by temporarily turning them all
off. Don't forget to turn them all back on after the short test.
 
How can it be firewall related when it is only effecting 1 drive!
Turns out the error was mine. Unlike my N: drive I had to select each folder
and share that. With the N: drive all I had to do was select the whole drive,
and was able to share all the folders aswell.
