Get started with Google Groups

Hi everyone
I seem to be having a problem accessing files that are on other hard
drives.
I have 4 hard drives set up, but when I try to point to say, the My
Documents folder with the user folder, I cant seem to access these
files, cannot even preview simple jpegs

I've played around a tiny bit with the permissions, and the shared
folders, yet it seems to still not be working, is there a simple way
to read a hard drive, other than the primary hard drive, so one can
simple click & access as if it were the C drive, this seems to be the
case with sub directories and I wont even get started about the 2
networked machines

Any help very much appreciated
Kind Regards

Natalie
