Yes... I have a NAS drive (on my personal PC at home, not at my office
location) that I use to keep my media files accessible. Am I losing my mind,
or was it possible to do what I'm trying to do on XP - I'm positive both my
office setup & personal setup had the ability to leave the hard drives
accessible. I've only run into this problem since purchasing Vista
computers. The only hesitation I have adding a NAS drive to my work desktop
is I already have a 1TB external drive (USB, not NAS) attached to that
computer that I use as my backup drive. The internal hard drive on the
desktop is 500GB - if I use a NAS drive then pretty much the only thing that
will be on the internal hard drive will be the OS & program files - a bit of
a waste of hard drive space. I've already invested money in a backup drive &
I don't really want to invest in a second drive for the convinience of file
accessiblity. At home it was a different story because my media files need
to be accessible by my stereo equipment.
