    Sharing hard drives


    I'm running Windows 10 build 1803 on my desktop and notebook and have an external hard drive connected to my desktop. Connecting my external hard drive to my notebook was easy when Windows had Homegroup, but, now that it's gone, I am having a hard time in getting my notebook to see my external hard drive... I have enabled sharing with the drive, but nothing happens.


    Can anyone tell me or help me in what I'm doing wrong?


    Thanks

    :)

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard 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!
