No XBMC issue: Just seeking help - civicguy - 2006-10-31 This is not a XBMC issue but rather a Windows xp home edition problem ? I thought that I would like to see if anyone else has this problem and hence have a solution. APOLOGISES in advance.
Is it just me ? :mad: - SleepyP - 2006-10-31 it depends on the system and the way in which the drive is detected. when I used external USB harddisk enclosures, I would only "lose" the shares if the disks were not attached at boot-time. If you shutdown and boot back up with them attached in the same way, the shares are kept (in my experiences). - Clumsy - 2006-10-31 I have the same experience as SleepyP. Now, what you can do as a workaround if you are attaching your drive while windows is already running is to set the network share with an autorun.inf: - Create a new file in a text editor. - Write something like this in the first line: net share usbdrive=H:\ with H: being the drive letter of the usb drive (you might have to set a permanent drive letter in your system settings) and "usbdrive" being the name of the share. - Save the file as share.bat on your usb drive. Now do the same steps again and create a file called: autorun.inf and as it contents you want something like: [autorun] open = share.bat Now, the drive should be automatically shared when you attach the drive. - civicguy - 2006-11-01 Thank you. I will try this out !! |
