| | Share USB external hard drive on Vista Ultimate I have a Vista Ultimate system that shares an external usb hard drive with full access rights, however, when another system on the network tries to access this drive access is denied. The other systems on the network can access my hard drive with no problems. I manually set the share by right clicking on the drive in computer and set permissions for everyone to have full access. I did the same for my C drive and all of the network computers can axcess the folders and files, but not the external usb hard drive. |
