No not the stock market! but a friend is having a problem with a new
Verbatim USB 250 GB drive
http://www.verbatim.com.au/en_AU/pr...rives/47562/2-5-portable-hard-drive-usb-250gb
formatted as NTFS. Operating system XP professional with SP2 installed with
a wired network.
There are several shared folders without any restrictions on the drive
containing video files etc. They are accessible when he turns on his
Beyonwiz PVR P1 . http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/DP_P1_overview.asp ie he can
play files over the network.
The problem arises if he safely removes the USB drive from the computer,
turns off the computer; the next day when he turns on the computer and then
plugs in the drive the shares have been lost, so he has to re-establish
them.
If he leaves the USB drive connected to the computer and then turns on, the
shares remain. It seems Windows XP is forgetting the shares or a hidden
file? is not being written to the drive?
I have an almost identical set up and have no problems - I regularly remove
my home assembled USB drive, cart it around town, plug it back in and all of
my shared folders are still there and available to my Beyonwiz PVR P1.
His network settings and router are the same as mine.. any thoughts?
