No access to folders on Spanned Dynamic Disk Volume (WXP-Pro)

[Guest]

I will be really grateful for any advice on this one.

I have a HDD 120GB in a computer. It has been devided to 20 GB for C: (boot)
and 100 GB for D: (data). On D: driver is a directory PUB, which has two
subfolders: VIDEO and AUDIO.

I connected other two hard disk drives, 2x80GB HDD. This disk has been
converted to dynamic disks and mounted to /PUB/VIDEO as a Spanned Volume.

I've copied all my data into /PUB/VIDEO and I'm able to read the content of
this directory on a local machine.

I enabled sharing of the folder PUB across the network. When I'm trying to
access the directory, everything seems to be fine. I can read the data from
the /PUB/AUDIO directory, copy tracks etc., but when I'm trying to access
content of the folder /PUB/VIDEO, I'm unable to do so. I mean, I can see what
directories are under the VIDEO directory, but I can not read the contect of
them. I mean, open the folders or read files etc.

Anyone had this problem before?

Thank you for any advice on this.

I'm sorry, but there is really noone able to help me with this? If there is
noone on Microsoft's website, I don't really know where else I can look for
help.

Although these newsgroups originate from a Microsoft server they are not
officially monitered by Microsoft. They are peer to peer newsgroups. Any
answers you get are by someone volunteering their time not from Microsoft.

Not many people use or recommend using spanned volumes. There are too many
things to go wrong. I highly recommend you install large enough hard drives
and get rid of the spanned volume. It is likely a permissions problem from
what you have described. Make sure that the child directories have the same
NTFS permissions as the parent.
