Windows Vista, How can i network a drive?

Question

Hi

My problem is this; I've just uprgraded to windows vista and i'm unable to share a drive on my computer with my laptop upstairs, I can see both computers in the Network folder, but when i try and access the laptop i'm denied.

What am i meant to do? It's so irritating, Vista really is the devil.

Answer 1

you need to flag the drive you want to access as shared....that should fix the issue

Answer 2

This guide is for XP, but the basic principles should apply.  It shows you how to share a folder over a network.
