Hi there

Can anybody give me some pointers on the following issue.

I have a main server in the house with Win 7 Prof installed to act as the main hub to store all documents and files.
The main server consist of 8 hdd, 1 for the OS and software the other 7 for backup and storage.

The problem is the following.
I can successfully share 6 of the drives with no problem.
There is only two that refuse to share.

The other devices I try to connect is HP micro servers with Win 7 home installed.

I have activated the two drives exactly as the others with share on with "full control" to write back to the hdd from other devices. The share group is set as "Everyone"

The workgroup is exactly the same to all devices

Could you maybe let me know what else I can try.
Either I might need to setup a new workgroup for all pc's or
The next step is to unplug all drives and start from the OS and plug one at a time and share it and see where it does not want to share.


What I cant understand is that 6 drives share correctly but just two that refuses.
Regards
 
Next to trusted installed click change

Enter "everyone"
click ok
tick "Replace owner on subcontainers........" (at top)
tick bottom "Replace child object permissions......."
click ok
 
Try this, Right click on the HDD or folder and select properties, goto the sharing tab and select Advanced sharing, tick the "share this folder" and you are done.

Hi Guys

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank You for all the help.
In the advance section under security I added the word Everyone and it sorted out the problem.

Thank You once again.
