Hard drives dissapear on network?!
I have always had a problem with my other computer not seeing the 6GB hard drive on this computer. No matter how many times I reapply sharing it will NOT show up. Now I have just reinstalled Windows on this computer and added a new hard drive. I put the old hard drive in my other computer as a slave. This computer was seeing and accessing that drive just fine. Now, all the sudden, I cannot get to that drive from this computer! I have reapplied the sharing twice. Now I have four hard drives total on the network and each computer can only see three (two local drives and one network drive). What the heck is going on?

I don't normally share entire drives on my network, but I have an old 4 Gb drive with 98se on it for dual booting on one system. I could try that one shared and see if it shows up. Probably about the same age as your 6. How do you have the drives jumpered?

Mine accesses fine when I share it on the network. You probably put it on a different cable when you changed pc's so that would rule out a cable problem. Only idea I have is try a different jumpering configuration.

The thing is, it was working just fine for a few days. I haven't changed anything physically.

Maybe try making some folders on that drive shared and see if they stay visible. The XP security features don't like it when you share an entire drive.
