    New PC not showing older shared drive


    New CPU, motherboard on older PC with 3 shared drives that were visible and accessible over network before the new hardware change. Now 2 drives show, but one does not. Have feeling its related to security ownership of drive tied to previous system but not sure. Any suggestion on how to resolve? Thanks.

    :)

    New laptop and older external hard drive

    The laptop doesn't easily "see" the drive.. when I am in Devices and Printers... the icon for the ext HD will appear for just a few seconds.. if I rightclick on it quickly, it'll show the popup for hardware but doesn't have the info for it... does correctly
    refer to it as "USB 2.0 CD + HDD".

    I tried your list of steps, but , the HD does NOT ever show in the Disk Management list.

    I do have an older Dell that I need to see if it will recognize the HD. I'll try that next.

    THANKS for taking the time to list those steps...

    Windows 10 - Mapping Drives on Older PC

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:



    • Are you able to access the shared drive?
    • What is the Network Error message that you receive?


    We can try some troubleshooting steps and see if that helps in resolving the issue:



    Method 1: Accessing Shared drive



    I would suggest you check if you are able to access the Shared drive. To access the Shared drive you can use
    File Explorer to navigate to the Network location or you can use the IP address along with two backslash in the Run box. i.e.
    \\192.0.0.1



    If you are unable to access the shared drive, please follow Method 2.



    Method 2: Resetting permissions for the Shared drive



    You can configure the permissions again for the Share drive and see if that helps. Please refer the section
    4. Setting shares from the article
    Homegroup removed! How to get network sharing work with Windows 10 v1803.



    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    New PC not showing older shared drive

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
